Justice Ginsburg carved her intellect and spirit into the more important movements in American History. Word has it she was well-liked and respected by her peers, and a close friend of Antonin Scalia, her polar ideological opposite.
May she R.I.P.

One big problem in our judicial system is legislating from the bench. Your ideological leanings should not enter into decisions but does. Scalia and Ginsburg often voted differently but Scalia was admired as perhaps the brightest on the court with the most in depth knowledge of the constitution. He was adamant that the role of the court was to interpret the Constitution, not to apply personal opinion on an issue. Ginsburg and Scalia had vast respect for each other as jurists, and great admiration and love for each other as friends, as it should be.
If you notice, Kennedy was a Republican president's nominee who often votes in favor of issues that are more liberal, and Chief Justice Robert's also does the same.
Aside from the pride we should have in a new yorker having such a fabulous life and career, perhaps in this divisive age we should look at the Scalia-Ginsburg friendship as something all in public life should aspire to, the way it once was.
*Scalia. Also a new yorker and proud son of Xavier HS, as is Monte and my son.

If one looked at the video tape, Scalia and Ginsburg voted 'politically' often.
Interpreting the Constitution is an art, not a science. Scalia and his fellow 'Originalists' on the Court often made law rather than preserve 'original' intent, as Ginsburg and her fellow liberals sought to modernize 'the law' to fit 'the times'.
One can bristle at both approaches, but the given is, that both Scalia and Ginsburg were monumental Justices.

RIP Ruth Bader Ginsburg--you are an inspiration to all fellow cancer sufferers in that we should never give up but fight the dreadful disease. Great Brooklynite! Imagine a women who was also a mother going to law school in the 1950's.
[quote="johnsliva" post=398479]RIP RBG Enjoy the opera with Scalia. If Trump were smart he would nominate \Merrick Garland and piss a lot of people off. While still a left judge would still me more to the center and who would vote no?[/quote
Good thought. Garland is a moderate, who I'm told would've achieved the Senate's consent in 2016 by a strong vote, with significant Republican support.
And Trump would appeal to independents who are more liberal on social issues than they are otherwise.
I think it would be a good move for him.

Interesting article from 2 years ago about religious make up of Supreme Court. Only 14 Catholic Supreme Court Justices in history. Of those 14, 6 are sitting justices.
