But for the most part Ginsburg enjoyed her fame and maintained a sense of humor about herself.
Two years later, the couple returned to the East Coast to attend Harvard Law School. She was one of only nine women in a class of over 500 and found the dean asking her why she was taking up a place that"should go to a man." It was bad enough that she was a woman, she recalled later, but she was also a mother, and male judges worried that she would be diverted by her"familial obligations."
The tax court concluded that the internal revenue code was immune to constitutional challenge, a notion that tax lawyer Marty Ginsburg viewed as"preposterous." The two Ginsburgs took on the case, he from the tax perspective, she from the constitutional perspective.According to Marty Ginsburg, for his wife, this was the"mother brief." She had to think through all the issues and how to fix the inequity.
It was the first time the court had ever struck down a state law because it discriminated based on gender.Ginsburg joins the only three other women to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court — Sandra Day O'Connor, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan — in a celebration of O'Connor, the first woman justice, at the Newseum in Washington in 2012.Ginsburg joins the only three other women to sit on the U.S.
In an interview with NPR, she explained the legal theory that she eventually sold to the Supreme Court.
So will the killing of babies. Trump do your job and select pro life.
Ya, Dems can just start calling the nominee a rapist, racist, etc before Trump even names a nominee
definitions of conservative and liberal are generational -some chance Gorsuch is as independent minded as Roberts -hope for America at her best.
Jerry!!!! Jerry!!!! Jerry!!!! Jerry!!!! Springer for SCOTUS!!!!
Had she stepped down when asked because of her poor health during Obama administration,none of this hysteria would be happening.
where’s biden’s list
business MikeBloomberg We need another $100 million to flip AmyMcGrathKY mjhegar KY & TX!!!!
She was not great on the Second Amendment. But she did pretty good for the rest of the Constitution I thought. She was a better Justice than Roberts or Kavanaugh and I am concerned that she is going to be replaced by someone more like Kavanaugh and less like Gorsuch
Why promises? The Constitution makes this process routine.
You don't say...
“Elections have consequences, you lost get over it” - Barack Obama. Trump has every right to appoint someone to the Supreme Court
May her memory be a revolution! Honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg's legacy by VOTING! RBG VoteBidenHarris2020 Vote
It promises a whole hell of a lot of civil disobedience, that’s for damned sure. I’m ready to take it to the streets.
I thought she would outlive us all
Rest In Peace ☮️ 💚
ACB will replace RBG
JUDY4SCOTUS
Hmmm. A perfect time for Trump to start mocking this angel.
JoeBiden says fill the seat immediately
thanks Ruth Rip
This issue will be too much for the left to handle. They may have to end BLM issue or Corona virus. Somethings gotta give.
Shows Mitch’s duplicity which won’t bother his greedy, power-drunk GOP, who long ago checked their principles at the door 4 1/2 years ago.
Trump, Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Burning Land, Hate, Crime, Gunviolence, Discimination Of Black People, Climatechange Ignoring, and finally te passing of the last liberal judge in the USA. What's coming next. I'm freezing.
may this incredible woman rest in power 🙏🕊
Shit
To honor RBG, support the strong, smart women in your family and your community!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Rest In Peace, a great example of what a real American heart should be.
Sometimes you get to work on extraordinary projects of extraordinary people. RBG Ruth Bader Ginsburg RuthBaderGinsburg customactionfigures herobuilders
I feel like I’ve been punched in the gut
I picked her in the death pool for the last 5 years. Finally paid off
She will definitely be missed.
FUCK! FUCKITY FUCK FUCK FUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCK! GODAMN MOTHERFUCKERRRRRRR! We. Are. Fucked.
It's sad that we have turned quickly to discussions about her replacement. People may claim that it is too soon to think about that, but we are at a place where we need to preserve all she has done. She served this country and we owe it to her to continue the fight.
TrumpMAGAVideos So sorry for the loss.
The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president. - Mitch McConnell, 2016
Saddest news of the year. As if things going to be bad enough. Heartbreak. RBGForever
BizNasty2point0 Huge loss great powerful women
Devastated - a trailblazing legal legend. RIP Notorious RBG.
My heart is broken.
RIP RBG 🙏
I had hoped she could hold on until after November 3 . Then they could not replace even try to replace her . New excuses coming from Moscow mule Mitch McCoonelle OTF old turtle face and Trumpkins plus the Republickthugs . Do this now and it will be 20 years before you win a seat
RBG’s legacy will be dragged through the mud this week. I don’t agree with all of her stances, but many of her judgements were liberal leaning. And, a Trump-appointed justice will have ramifications for generations.
Have fun in hell!
💔💔💔💔😪😪😪
She sacrificed all of her last days for her Service to us. She was the best of the best. Rest in Power Judge Ginsburg. You will be so missed.
Even if you didn’t like her politics or decisions. Look up her story. This women was an undeniable powerhouse. RIP RBG well earned.

RIP Justice Ginsburg...your impact and legacy is beyond measure.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
‘I Would Not Look to the US Constitution’ - Ginsburg quote speaks volumes.
💔
🙏🏾
What an inspiration and true definition of a leader ❤👏❤ She will be missed but her teachings & wisdom will always be remembered. R.I.P. R.B.G. ❤
RIP RBG
The timing of her death couldn’t be more Shakespearian. I’m so sad.
Crap
Rest in Justice RBG
We have lost an icon!!!
R.I.P. I'm not American, I don't really pay attention to American politics etc. but from what I have seen I could tell she was incredibly dedicated and truly cared about doing the right thing and an inspiring person.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢💫💫💫🏆🏆🏆🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅
Wohooooo
Baruch dayan haemet, dying on Rosh Hachana...
Good news......
RIP Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. You were a true American Hero. Thank you for your service to our country. Thank you for being an inspiration to so many women, including my Mom, me and my daughters.
And Trump, Graham, and McConnell especially McConnell I bet are doing cartwheels. Getting to appoint 3 SCOTUS justices inside of 3 years.
💔
The loss of a total absolute badass. This is a sad day
The US is royally fucked now
The classlessness of the right is shining bright.
2020, and, I repeat, 2020
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
God help our country and prayers for her family at this time. Our country has lost one of the most intelligent Supreme Court Judges we have ever had . May Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg rest peacefully: she has earned her rest.
If the Republicans could stall for an entire presidency the Democrats can stall for a couple months... please... don't let her dying wish fail
We lost a supreme human being.
RIP RBG. Deep condolences to her family.
noo:( rest in peace
'So now the perception is, yes, women are here to stay. And when I'm sometimes asked when will there be enough women on the Supreme Court? And I say when there are nine, people are shocked. But there'd been nine men, & nobody's ever raised a question about that.' Ruth Ginsburg
This loss is a crushing blow to our country. She was, is, and will be an inspiration.
LaraBamb oh my god 💔😭
Well done, good and faithful servant. Rest In Peace, RBG.
This a rare thing for me to say but please do not vot on a new justice till after the election
2020 and another new emotion, the grief mixed with very poignant fear. If you’re crying or scared or both, you are not alone.
“Women belong in all the places decisions are being made”- RBG
I'm heartbroken. 💔💔💔
A buddy in one of my threads
Musetta_May 💔💔💔 omg no. This is devastating.
Oh no 😭 May she rest in piece.
Is this why Trump had that BS press conference naming TomCottonAR and tedcruz as possible SCOTUS nominees because he knew RBG was likely to die before the election?
Now the shitty republicans will try and force thru a quick justice and that will be the last time I call America my home....
It doesn't matter if you agree with her politics or all of her decisions, that fact is that women would not be where we are today if not for RBG. Thank you to this kickass woman for blazing the trail for all of us, especially for we working moms. RIP.
JoannieWeinberg Noooooo! 😫
MorganFogarty Please let a woman fill her seat. A democratic woman.
We will fight in her name for the next 46 days. For RBG, donate. For RBG vote. For RBG get ready to fight for America.
Very saddened for our nation’s loss of another great human.
If the roles were reversed the Dems would have a new Democratic Justice on the seat by the end of next week, so spare me the 'waiting is the right thing to do' hypocrisy.
My heart is broken. It just doesn't stop in 2020.💔
RIP this wonderful pioneer.
well, there goes the 1 reason I kept hearing to vote biden
Shit. Well, there goes what was left of the republic. Good luck world.
Oh boy
The worst news I’ve heard in along time!!! My heart goes out to her family and our country!! We lost one of the good ones.. one that broke so many ceilings for women!!
Nooooooo 😭😭😭😭😭
Beyond sad and devastated. She is a hero, genius and goddess.
87. Defied the odds. RIP. See you on the other side
1a Icon. Legend. Hero. Rest in power and thank you for your service RBG.
💔
Pain.
Omg! The Notorious RBG, Rest In Peace.🙏🇺🇸✨🦋 you did so much for women rights, for advancement of women in society. We shall always be thankful Justice Ginsberg. 💕🌼
NO NO THIS IS NOT OKAY NOOOO
If only we had more Americans like Ruth. Thank you for your 87 years of life and unwavering service to the US Supreme Court.
No no no!
Democratic Senators: Please kick and scream and filibuster the everylovin’ shit out of this until November. Please, please, please. Or maybe some Republicans can develop some stones. Either way.
priaribi Ffffffuuuuuuuuuucccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Horrible, horrible, we loved her so much, she was AWESOME, Classy, ..ooy ooy
Mitch McConnel must be overjoyed. Get ready America, you're about to see the biggest example of hypocrisy in our lifetimes when Rs ram through another supreme court justice. To the R's, rules and traditions are for everyone else when power is at stake.

Oregonian It's a sad day for us all.
You should’ve seen the shit-eating grin on my face as I told my wife the news. It was completely unintentional but it made us both laugh!
No no no
Really fucking interesting Trump puts out a list of possible replacements a few days ago.....
A sad day
A sad day for her family and the United States
MaddowBlog I feel so sick to my stomach. Here comes McConnell’s dirty hypocrisy and more Republican gloating. Wondered how 2020 could get any worse? This is it. I’m absolutely gutted.
It's an election year, so what's senatemajldr gonna do? Wait for the election? merrickgarland riprbg
