Frases de Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Ruth Bader Ginsburg é uma Associada de Justiça da Suprema Corte dos Estados Unidos. Ginsburg foi indicada para o cargo pelo Presidente Bill Clinton e foi empossada em 10 de agosto de 1993. Depois de Sandra Day O'Connor, foi a segunda mulher a ser confirmada pelo Senado para servir na Suprema Corte. Após a aposentadoria de O'Connor em 2006, e antes de a Juíza Sonia Sotomayor se juntar ao tribunal em 2009, Ginsburg era a única mulher a atuar como Associada de Justiça. Durante este período, tornou-se mais contundente em suas opiniões dissidentes. Ginsburg geralmente é vista como pertencente à ala "liberal" da Corte.

Ginsburg nasceu no Brooklyn, sendo filha de imigrantes judeus russos. Quando bebê, sua irmã mais velha morreu, e pouco antes de se formar no ensino médio, sua mãe também faleceu. Ginsburg tornou-se esposa e mãe antes de começar a estudar na Universidade Harvard, onde era uma das poucas mulheres de sua turma. Transferiu-se para a Universidade Columbia, graduando-se em Direito em 1959.

Depois da faculdade de direito, Ginsburg voltou-se para a academia. Foi professora da Faculdade de Direito da Universidade Rutgers e da Faculdade de Direito de Columbia, ensinando processos civis; era uma das poucas mulheres que trabalhavam neste campo. Ginsburg gastou uma parte considerável de sua carreira jurídica defendendo o avanço da igualdade de gênero e dos direitos das mulheres, ganhando múltiplas vitórias argumentando diante da Suprema Corte. Advogou voluntariamente para a União Americana pelas Liberdades Civis e integrou seu conselho de administração e um dos seus conselhos gerais na década de 1970. Em 1980, o Presidente Jimmy Carter indicou-a para o Tribunal de Apelações dos Estados Unidos para o Circuito do Distrito de Columbia, onde permaneceu até sua ascensão para a Suprema Corte.

“Dissents speak to a future age.”

Interview with Nina Totenberg of National Public Radio (May 2, 2002)
Contexto: 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.
