I absolutely love this genuine great honorable woman ��������������������������������❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️����������������������������  Ginsburg was born in Brooklyn, New York. Her older sister died when she was a baby, and her mother, one of her biggest sources of encouragement, died shortly before Ginsburg graduated from high school. She then earned her bachelor's degree at Cornell University, and became a wife and mother before starting law school at Harvard, where she was one of the few women in her class. Ginsburg transferred to Columbia Law School, where she graduated tied for first in her class. Following law school, Ginsburg entered into academia. She was a professor at Rutgers Law School and Columbia Law School, teaching civil procedure as one of the few women in her field.
Ginsburg spent a considerable part of her legal career as an advocate for the advancement of gender equality and women's rights, winning multiple arguments before the Supreme Court. She advocated as a volunteer attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union and was a member of its board of directors and one of its general counsels in the 1970s. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, where she served until her appointment to the Supreme Court. Ginsburg received attention in American popular culture for her fiery liberal dissents and refusal to step down; she was dubbed "The Notorious R.B.G.", a play on the name of the rapper known as "The Notorious B.I.G.", in reference to her notable dissents.
She died at 87 years of age on September 18, 2020, from complications of metastatic pancreatic cancer at her home.
When she was named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in 2015, her colleague and improbable close friend, conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, wrote about her dual roles as crusader and judge. “Ruth Bader Ginsburg has had two distinguished legal careers, either one of which would alone entitle her to be one of Time’s 100,” wrote Scalia, who died in 2016.
She was great friends with Antonin Scalia even though they disagreed on everything.
“Justice, justice, thou shalt pursue,” the Old Testament words Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg kept on the wall of her chambers, epitomize the outlook and achievement of this distinguished jurist.
Ginsburg worked her entire career to eliminate gender-based stereotyping in legislation and regulations. Appointed Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court by President William Clinton in 1993, she is the second woman to sit on the bench of the United States Supreme Court in its 212 year history.
After graduating from Cornell University in 1954 with highest honors in government, Justice Bader Ginsburg attended Harvard Law School and Columbia Law School, making Law Review in both and graduating at the top of the class at Columbia.
Despite these excellent academic credentials, Bader Ginsburg had difficulty finding a job in the male-dominated law profession. She began her career by serving a clerkship in the United States District Court of Appeals in New York, continued by teaching at Rutgers University School of Law, and then at Columbia Law School, where she became the school’s first tenured female professor.
Her teaching and litigation on behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union, where she headed the Women’s Rights Project, drew national attention. In 1971, she helped write the ACLU brief in Reed vs. Reed, a case argued before the Supreme Court that involved discrimination against women in awarding the administration of a child’s estate. The Court struck down the state law that favored men over women as estate administrators.
In 1980, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, where she served until her 1993 appointment to the Supreme Court.
Justice Ginsburg became known for her scholarly, balanced opinions and forthright personal courage. A cancer survivor herself, she assisted thousands by her example of frank discussion of the state of her health and early diagnosis.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who refused to consider President Obama’s choice months before the 2016 election, said in a statement hours after Ginsburg’s death: “President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.”
Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) says she won't vote on a Supreme Court nomination until after the election. Or at least that's what she said in an interview with Alaska Public Media only hours before the news of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's passing was reported late Friday.
"I would not vote to confirm a Supreme Court nominee. We are 50 some days away from an election," she reportedly said, referencing the 2016 case of Merrick Garland, when Republicans in the Senate, led by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), blocked President Obama's nomination to replace Justice Antonin Scalia after he died that February. "That was too close to an election, and the people needed to decide."
People are gathering around The Supreme Court building, to honor her life . Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now am found Was blind but now I see
Was Grace that taught my heart to fear And Grace, my fears relieved How precious did that Grace appear The hour I first believed

Wonder what Lindsey will do....did he not say he would not bring a justice up before the election???? Seems to me he will be caught between the ass cheeks of the obese fat trump and reality!!!!!!!!
Rbg should've retired 5 years ago so obama could replace her. But she didn't think Trump would win.
And ted Cruz makes a good point. This election is likely to end up in court. A 4-4 supreme court would create a constitutional crisis. This will be rbe justification for immediately replacing her.
RUTH BADER GINSBURG Ginsburg's life was devoted to her fight against all forms of discrimination An appreciation by Andrea Mitchell: The justice could not be conquered by unfairness or fazed by illness.
Mitchell: Ginsburg was an 'extraordinary woman' Sept. 18, 2020, 9:27 PM PDT By Andrea Mitchell WASHINGTON — The enormous crowds that spontaneously gathered on the steps of the Supreme Court in the hours after Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on Friday are a tribute to what she represented to many Americans.
People are mourning her passing because they admired her spirit, her fearlessness and her determination to fight for equal justice under the law, in part because they knew she understood what many of them were facing in their lives.
She became a cultural icon in her eighties because while small in physical stature, Justice Ginsburg was a warrior, an intellectual giant whose passion for women’s rights was forged in the sexism she herself experienced in law school and as a young lawyer. Her fearlessness was as legendary as her determination and her work ethic.
Most recently, diagnosed with yet another cancer, she suffered an infection that required hospitalization, was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, had the procedure, and was on the telephone participating in oral arguments the next day.
I knew her personally, and my husband and I were honored when she officiated at our wedding in 1997. I was fortunate to also get to know her extraordinary husband, Martin Ginsburg, a very successful lawyer and professor who supported her in every way, glorying in her successes while cooking and managing the home front.
It was an extraordinary marriage. They shared a mutual love of classical music, especially opera. She was theatrical, even appearing onstage in full costume as a supernumerary at the Washington Opera in a 2016 performance at the Kennedy Center.
Opera in fact helped her develop a close bond with the late Justice Antonin Scalia. Intellectually, they were polar opposites. But they had become fast friends when serving together on the Court of Appeals, where she developed an appreciation for his sense of humor.
'Notorious RBG:' Ginsburg transcended the court to become a pop culture icon The two couples celebrated New Year’s Eve together. It was an unlikely friendship, but a tribute to the humanity of each that they got along so well across the partisan divide.
Justice Ginsburg was unfazed by the celebrity and acclaim she enjoyed into her eighties. The “Notorious RBG” became the subject of a documentary that featured her working out with a trainer. Another feature film portrayed her fighting to be taken seriously as a woman in law school and as a young lawyer, leading up to her triumphant first argument in front of the Supreme Court, where she won a foundational case against sex discrimination.
Her courage in successfully battling cancer over the years perhaps made us think nothing could conquer this incredible woman. Her spirit endured until the end, when she dictated her final fervent wish to her granddaughter that she not be replaced until the next President takes office. In truth, she is irreplaceable. Her legacy will live forever.
4 GOP Senators Said They Would Not Confirm New Justice
CNN lists four Republicans senators who have said they will oppose a vote on a new Supreme Court justice just before the election:
Sen. Susan Collins to the New York Times: “I think that’s too close, I really do.”
Sen. Lisa Murkowski in September: “Fair is fair.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham in October 2018: “If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump’s term, and the primary process has started, we’ll wait to the next election. And I’ve got a pretty good chance of being the Judiciary Chairman. Hold the tape.”
Sen. Chuck Grassley said in July he would follow the Biden rule: “I’m just following what was established by the Biden Rule in 1986 and then emphasized by him in 1992… They set the pattern. I didn’t set the pattern. But it was very legitimate that you can’t have one rule for Democratic presidents and another rule for Republican presidents.”
Barack Obama, quoted by NBC News: “Four and a half years ago, when Republicans refused to hold a hearing or an up-or-down vote on Merrick Garland, they invented the principle that the Senate shouldn’t fill an open seat on the Supreme Court before a new president was sworn in.”
“A basic principle of the law — and of everyday fairness — is that we apply rules with consistency, and not based on what’s convenient or advantageous in the moment.”
“The rule of law, the legitimacy of our courts, the fundamental workings of our democracy all depend on that basic principle. As votes are already being cast in this election, Republican Senators are now called to apply that standard.”
Voters Want Biden to Pick New Justice
New York Times: “In Times/Siena polls of Maine, North Carolina and Arizona released Friday, voters preferred Mr. Biden to select the next Supreme Court justice by 12 percentage points, 53% to 41%. In each of the three states, Mr. Biden led by just a slightly wider margin on choosing the next justice than he did over all.”
“Similarly, a Fox News poll last week found that voters nationwide trusted Mr. Biden over Mr. Trump — by seven points — to nominate the next Supreme Court justice.”
“My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.” — Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, quoted by NPR, just before she died.
