Current and former Supreme Court justices are offering their condolences in the wake of the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday. Her fellow justices released personal statements today honoring Justice Ginsburg's memory.

Ginsburg, who was appointed to the Supreme Court by President Bill Clinton in 1993, wrote landmark opinions that advanced gender equality and rights for disabled Americans and immigrants.

"Our Nation has lost a jurist of historic stature. We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn, but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her -- a tireless and resolute champion of justice."Justice Thomas described her as"a picture of grace and courage'.

Seated, from left to right: Justices Stephen G. Breyer and Clarence Thomas, Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., and Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Samuel A. Alito. Standing, from left to right: Justices Neil M. Gorsuch, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Brett M. Kavanaugh.Justice Alito said in a statement that Ginsburg will be missed and she will be remembered as"a leading figure in the history of the Court".

"To me, as to countless others, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a hero. As an attorney, she led the fight to grant women equal rights under the law. As a judge, she did justice every day--working to ensure that this country's legal system lives up to its ideals and extends its rights and protections to those once excluded. And in both roles, she held to--indeed, exceeded--the highest standards of legal craft. Her work was as careful as it was creative, as disciplined as it was visionary.
