More quotes by Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Even the Declaration of Independence starts out all men are created equal, so I see my advocacy as part of an effort to make the equality principle everything the founders would have wanted it to be if they weren't held back by the society in which they lived and particularly the shame of slavery.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Congress could always stop the President if Congress thinks that what the President has done exceeds the President's authority or is just wrong for the United States.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I think the notion that we have all the democracy that money can buy strays so far from what our democracy is supposed to be.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The Second Amendment has a preamble about the need for a militia. Because there is a need for a militia to be at the ready, therefore the right to keep and bear arms must be secured.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Adult women are able to make decisions about their own lives' course no less than men are.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
There is a Constitutional right to prostitution.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
There are some singers that know exactly when to go, and others hang on much too long and that is the same, that is the same with judges.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Legislators know much more about elections than the Court does.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
One might plausibly contend that Congress violates the spirit, if not the letter, of the constitutional doctrine of separation of powers when it exonerates itself from the impositions of the laws it obligates people outside the legislature to obey.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Dissents speak to a future age.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I'm not very good at promotion.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
If you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it. I had a life partner who thought my work was as important as his, and I think that made all the difference for me.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
My mother told me two things constantly. One was to be a lady, and the other was to be independent. The study of law was unusual for women of my generation. For most girls growing up in the '40s, the most important degree was not your B.A., but your M.R.S.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Every constitution written since the end of World War II includes a provision that men and women are citizens of equal stature. Ours does not.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
If I had any talent God could give me, I would be a great diva.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Dissents speak to a future age. It's not simply to say, 'My colleagues are wrong and I would do it this way.' But the greatest dissents do become court opinions and gradually over time their views become the dominant view. So that's the dissenter's hope: that they are writing not for today but for tomorrow.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
People who have been hardworking, tax paying, those people ought to be given an opportunity to be on a track that leads towards citizenship and if that happened, then they wouldn't be prey to the employers who say we want you because we know that you work for a salary we could not lawfully pay anyone else.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
If we gave up our freedom as the price of security, we would no longer be the great nation that we are.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I do hope that some of my dissents will one day be the law.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I think members of the legislature, people who have to run for office, know the connection between money and influence on what laws get passed.
