Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg-- RBG, a new movie about her accomplishments
"The official trailer for the critically acclaimed documentary film on Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg , appropriately titled “RBG,” was released on Wednesday--just in time for International Women’s Day.
In the sneak peek, Ginsburg reflects on her barrier-breaking career as a lawyer and her rise to the nation’s highest court."
Two quotes from RBG:
On Supreme Court dissents: "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."
On major portions of the Voting Rights Act being getting overturned by the Supreme Court in 2013: "Throwing out [the Voting Rights Act] when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet."
