“A great justice, a woman of valor, a rock of righteousness, and my good, good friend,' Justice Breyer said, describing to mitchellreports his thoughts about the late Justice Ginsburg. 'She made the world a better place for us to live in.'
WASHINGTON — Last Friday evening, Justice Stephen Breyer was reciting the mourner's kaddish — the prayer that observant Jews say in memory of the dead — when he learned he had new reason to mourn.
“You read what she wrote and there it is, laid out very clearly. And it's going to be true to the record and it's going to be true to the arguments and it's going to explain them, and it's going to be detailed. And succinctly. Obviously it's helpful to me and the other judges."Breyer and Ginsburg were very close. They had known each other for years even before President Bill Clinton nominated them for the Supreme Court, Ginsburg in 1993, Breyer a year later.
“She's not a tremendously talkative ‘small talk’ person...but she's the kind of person that as a person you like her better the more you know her," he said."I would go into her office sometimes and I would say something very — that I thought was extremely funny, and she usually thought it was at least moderately funny.""I knew I had a certain amount of time because she wanted to get back to work," he said.
At today's congressional service, Rabbi Lauren Holtzblatt said that “Justice Ginsburg’s dissents were not cries of defeat, they were blueprints for the future.”
