More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"Our system of justice is superb, but there are some areas that need fine-tuning."
"I was fortunate to be alive and a lawyer in the late 1960s when the women's rights movement was just beginning."
"I think that the law should reflect the changing times. It shouldn't be static."
"I think that the government should not be involved in making choices for people. It's a very personal decision, and it should be up to the individual to decide what's best for them, not the government…"
"I am not a fan of the term 'judicial activism.' I think it's a code word for 'I don't like what the court did.'"
About Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1933-2020)
Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court (1993-2020), gender-equality litigator at the ACLU Women's Rights Project before the bench, and the second woman ever appointed. Closely associated with Sandra Day O'Connor (first woman Justice and her predecessor in that role) and Elena Kagan (Obama-appointed colleague). For an intellectual contrast, see Antonin Scalia, conservative originalist Justice (1936-2016) — RBG and Scalia disagreed on nearly every major constitutional case but maintained a famous personal friendship over opera. Their friendship-across-doctrinal-divide became the canonical example of judicial collegiality despite total disagreement — and Scalia's originalism vs RBG's living-Constitution liberalism are the cleanest two American constitutional methodologies.
