Ruth Bader Ginsburg quotes about
religious believe order
We do not read (the law) to elevate accommodation of religious observances over an institution's need to maintain order and safety, ... We have no cause to believe that (the law) would not be applied in an appropriately balanced way, without sensitivity to security concerns.
thinking
I think our system is being polluted by money,
religious risk establishment-clause
Approving some religious claims while deeming others unworthy of accommodation could be 'perceived as favoring one religion over another,' the very 'risk the [Constitution's] Establishment Clause was designed to preclude.
mean law abortion
Reproductive choice has to be straightened out. There will never be a woman of means without choice anymore. That just seems to me so obvious. The states that changed their abortion laws before Roe are not going to change back. So we have a policy that only affects poor women, and it can never be otherwise.
answers might cases
My rule was I will not answer a question that attempts to project how I will rule in a case that might come before the court.
boys conservative
Every gal and every boy that's born alive is either a little liberal or else a little conservative.
promotion very-good
I'm not very good at promotion.
ambition school judging
When I graduated from law school in 1959, there wasn't a single woman on any federal bench. It wouldn't be a realistic ambition for a woman to want to become a federal judge.
family inspiring women
Women will only have true equality when men share with them the responsibility of bringing up the next generation.
caring men thinking
You can't have it all, all at once. Who—man or woman—has it all, all at once? Over my lifespan I think I have had it all. But in different periods of time things were rough. And if you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it.
thinking justice female
I do think that being the second [female Supreme Court Justice] is wonderful, because it is a sign that being a woman in a place of importance is no longer extraordinary.
religious organization community
Religious organizations exist to foster the interests of persons subscribing to the same religious faith. Not so of for-profit corporations. Workers who sustain the operations of those corporations commonly are not drawn from one religious community.
gay two saying-no
You're saying, no, state said two kinds of marriage; the full marriage, and then this sort of skim-milk marriage.
badass law one-day
I do hope that some of my dissents will one day be the law.
