SONENSHINE, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR @thehill Every time Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is hospitalized, some of us hold our breath and worry. She has repeatedly vowed to stay on the court as long as her health holds up and she stays mentally sharp. News of a recurrence of cancer scares us, although she is promising not to quit. At 87 years old, having endured four bouts of cancer, how will she endure more illness? The answer is, with the grace and energy she has always displayed. But what if? Without Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, there would be a void, a vacuum and a visceral sense of loss for women, for progressives, for jurists and for Jews. R.B.G. - those are not just initials; they are iconic symbols of a woman of valor who makes history at every turn. She is "notorious" in the best sense of the word. The first thing to remember is that Justice Ginsburg has often been the first - the first Jewish justice since the 1969 resignation of Justice Abe Fortas; the first Democratic appointment since 1967; the first to make gender equality a legal issue worthy of the highest court in the land. She was the first female member of the Harvard Law Review; and when she went to teach at Columbia University in 1972, she became the first female professor there to earn tenure. The second important thing to know about R.B.G. is that women have advanced in the world because of her trailblazing work. We need to thank her for that. "Women's rights are an essential part of the overall human rights agenda, trained on the equal dignity and ability to live in freedom all people should enjoy." Those words by Ginsburg have animated her life and career, beginning with her work as general counsel for the Women's Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union. Thirdly, Justice Ginsburg brings balance to the judicial system. President Clinton appointed Ginsburg to the Supreme Court in 1993, a time when the court really needed a liberal voice. From the bench, she later watched as President Trump named two conservatives to the court. #RuthBaderGinsburg」7月21日 1時41分
