Signature

Ruth Joan Bader Ginsburg (March 15, 1933 – September 18, 2020) was an American jurist. She was an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death. She was nominated by President Bill Clinton. She was known as a feminist icon and was nicknamed "The Notorious R.B.G.".

Ginsburg died on September 18, 2020 in Washington, D.C.[1]

Supreme Court

Ginsburg was appointed by President Bill Clinton and took the oath of office on August 10, 1993. She was the second female justice (after Sandra Day O'Connor) and the first Jewish[2] female justice. Ginsburg was considered a member of the more liberal side of the Supreme Court.

Ginsburg wrote notable majority opinions, including United States v. Virginia, Olmstead v. L.C., and Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services, Inc.

She was known as "The Notorious R.B.G.", in reference to the rapper known as "The Notorious B.I.G.".[3]

When John Paul Stevens retired in 2010, Ginsburg became the oldest justice on the court at age 77.[4]

Health

Ginsburg had surgery for colon cancer in 1999 and for pancreatic cancer in 2009.[5] On November 8, 2018, she was hospitalized after fracturing three ribs in a fall.[6]

On August 24, 2019, it was revealed that Ginsburg underwent radiation treatment for pancreatic cancer over the summer.[7] In July 2020, she announced that she had liver cancer.[8][9]

On September 18, 2020, Ginsburg died from problems caused by metastatic pancreatic cancer in Washington, D.C. at the age of 87.[10]
