Ginsburg Honored At Supreme Court

Her former law clerks lined the steps of the Supreme Court as the casket of Ruth Bader Ginsburg was brought to the court where she will lie in repose (video above). Ginsburg was eulogized as a “path-marking role model for women and girls of all ages, who now know that no office is out of reach for their dreams.”

“Ruth used to ask: What is the difference between a bookkeeper in Brooklyn and a Supreme Court justice?” “Her answer: one generation.” — Chief Justice John Roberts on Ruth Bader Ginsburg
