Ginsburg etched her name in legal history before President Jimmy Carter named her to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in 1980. She won five of six cases argued at the Supreme Court in the mid-1970s that opened doors for women.
While remaining a reliable stalwart for equal rights in her later years, Ginsburg had trouble commanding majorities on the court. As the years passed, she became more – delivering five of them from the bench in the 2012 term alone, a record that still stands. The closet in her chambers held a selection of her trademark lace jabots, some reserved solely for those dissents.by a 5-4 vote in June 2013 – enabling states with a history of discrimination to escape preemptory Justice Department oversight – she likened it to “throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet.
In recent years, she became a folk hero to the left – the subject of the award-winning documentary"RBG," an opera and a feature-length film,"On the Basis of Sex." Her praises were sung on the “Ruth Bader GinsBlog” and her initials emblazoned on “Notorious R.B.G.” T-shirts. She took great pride in a bobblehead celebrating the highlights of her career, and she helped to assemble a book of her opinions, dissents and writings entitled “My Own Words.
RIP
may his soul rest in peace.
BNightengale Gorsuch was almost a year before a new president might take office. This is about four months. Try this at your own peril, Mitch, and any Senators who claim to be moderate Republicans.
💔
Amy Barrett...you up?
This is huge. RIP
Let Freedom Ring. Step one on the quest to beat back the Socialist Dictatorship. Now lets crush them at the ballot box.
Let us give her wish for a new president. RGB can’t be replaced, but Trump can. voteforrgb
Puckster1955 Her legacy is about to be overturned by hypocrite McConnell who won’t wait for the presidential installation to move forward. Would like to be wrong. But today’s GOP has no ethics.
BNightengale Dems you better pull a Mitch McConnell and don’t let Trump nominee someone. They pulled it on Obama in 2016 bc of the election.
My heart is aching.
Rip
My deepest Condolences to the RBG's Beloved Family. 2020 has been a horrible year. 💔💔 Can We Get a Breather, Dear, Lord🙏🤲🤲🙏 RIP, Justice RBG🙏🕯🙏
So sad
Reposez-vous bien, noble esprit juridique You will be missed Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg RuthBaderGinsburg SupremeCourt
RIP
May she rest in Peace. She was; however, a very partisan judge who spoke ill of President Trump as a sitting Supreme Court Justice. She was a fighter, but was unfortunately in very serious condition this last year. She should have gracefuly stepped down months ago.
RBG was a strong woman and positive influence regardless of political affiliation. She was no-nonsense and demanded to be respected. I am sad to hear this.
When Justice Scalia died a full YEAR before the end of President Obama’s term ended, the Republicans insisted the next president should nominate a replacement. But of course that won’t apply this time, will it? Vote the hypocrites out!
I swear I saw today a sudden brightness in the sky and now I know what it was. RIP Ruth Bader Ginsburg you will never be replaced.
She was born to nurture a nation with growing pains.
A sad and dark day for America 😔
God save us!
Hopefully she gets replaced by someone who respects the constitution and our freedoms. Trump or Biden aren't fit to make that choice. LetHerDebate LetHerSpeak JoJorgensen2020
The WORLDS LOSS IS HEAVENS GAIN.
RIP. May the new Supreme Court Justice nominee strive to uphold the right to life for the unborn, who cannot speak for themselves
Well, dang it.
Sad. And a great legacy. Prayers. But she wasn't the first female justice yet all these headlines infer she was.

Ginsburg had overcome four bouts with pancreatic, lung and colon cancer dating back to 1999. She had announced her latest recurrence in July, again vowing to stay on the court 'as long as I can do the job full steam.'
