Racial discrimination in elections in Texas is no mere historical artifact. To the contrary, Texas has been found in violation of the Voting Rights Act in every redistricting cycle from and after 1970.

More quotes by 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
Members of the legislature, people who have run for office, know the connection between money and influence on what laws get passed
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
If I resign any time this year, he [President Obama] could not successfully appoint anyone I would like to see in the court. ... [A]nybody who thinks that if I step down, Obama could appoint someone like me, they're misguided.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I am a judge born, raised, and proud of being a Jew. The demand for justice runs through the entirety of the Jewish tradition. I hope, in my years on the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States, I will have the strength and the courage to remain constant in the service of that demand.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I do hope that some of my dissents will one day be the law.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The written argument endures. The oral argument is fleeting.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Neither federal nor state government acts compatibly with equal protection when a law or official policy denies to women, simply because they are women, full citizenship stature - equal opportunity to aspire, achieve, participate in and contribute to society based on their individual talents and capacities.
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
Our goal in the '70s was to end the closed door era. There were so many things that were off limits to women, policing, firefighting, mining, piloting planes. And the stereotypical view of people of a world divided between home and child caring women and men as breadwinners, men representing the family outside the home.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Every gal and every boy that's born alive is either a little liberal or else a little conservative.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
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.
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.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
It's great to be in the position of asking questions and not having to answer questions.
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
Prisons should be co-ed because separate quarters are discriminatory.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Dissents speak to a future age.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The irony and tragedy is any woman of means can have a safe abortion somewhere in the United States. But women lacking the wherewithal to travel can't. There is no big constituency out there concerned about access restrictions on poor women.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
It is not women's liberation, it is women's and men's liberation.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
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.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
It is not like I have gone crazy, I just don't want to take any chances. You never know what could happen.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
