BREAKING: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the powerhouse Supreme Court justice and champion for women's rights, has died at the age of 87.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the third woman and first Latina appointed to the Supreme Court, has likened her colleague to a"steel magnolia.""She's delicate on the outside," Sotomayor said of Ginsburg in 2018,"but she has an iron rod behind it."Throughout her career, Ginsburg defied gender norms and skeptics of her mettle.
In the 1970s, Ginsburg began taking up sex discrimination cases with the ACLU and co-founded the organization's Women's Rights Project. She argued six cases before the Supreme Court and won five of them. "She was brilliant and had a good head on her shoulders. She was rigorous but warm hearted. She had a good sense of humor and sensible, attainable judicial philosophy," Clinton said recently, reflecting on his pick.
Ginsburg famously lamented the Supreme Court's reasoning in its 1973 Roe v Wade opinion, which grounded abortion rights in a constitutional right to privacy rather the principle of equal protection. In 1999, Ginsburg delivered the majority opinion in Olmstead v L.C. which affirmed the right of Americans with disabilities to receive state-funded support and services in their communities, instead of only designated institutions.
