More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"The first thing that comes to mind is how much I love the law."
"I think that the law should be a shield for the weak, not a sword for the strong."
"The law, as I see it, is a tool to achieve justice."
"I remember envying the boys long before I even knew the word 'feminism,' because I liked shop better than cooking or sewing."
"I think it's important to be persistent. To keep fighting for what you believe in."
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.
