More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"I think that the court should be a place where fundamental rights are protected."
"I think that the law should be a shield for the weak, not a sword for the strong."
"I think the greatest change has been in the composition of the court. When I came to the court, I was the second woman. Now there are three women."
"I think that the law is constantly evolving. It's not a static thing."
"I am a very shy person. That's why I speak through my writing."
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.
