More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"If you want to be a true professional, you will do something outside yourself."
"I am ever hopeful that if the court has a blind spot today, its eyes will be open tomorrow."
"My dear spouse, Marty, was a truly extraordinary person. Of all the people I have known, he was the only one who was not in the least bit bothered by the success of his wife."
"I think that the court should be a place where reason prevails."
"I often said that if I had any talent in the world, it would be as an opera diva. But my voice is not up to it."
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.
