US pays tribute to Ginsburg - 23rd September 2020
Hundreds of people gathered outside the United States Supreme Court at the weekend to pay their respects to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Ginsburg passed away from cancer on Friday at the age of 87.
Ginsburg was only the second female judge to sit on the Supreme Court and served for just under 30 years.
She was famous for fighting for people's rights. During her time as a Supreme Court judge, she fought tirelessly for the rights of women, the LGBTQ community and immigrants.
Lorena Blanco: "We believe that RBG was a role model for all women. She stands up for everyone - supported women, supported the LGBTQ community, and cared about everyone's rights.”
Ginsburg also had to fight to become a lawyer herself. Her legal battles to bring about equality for women in the 1970s were made into the film "On The Basis Of Sex".
Kiley Boland: "She was my hero before I was born and I didn't know it for a long time. She's the reason that I can be a lawyer. She's the reason that women can't legally be discriminated against, so she means a lot to us."
Ginsburg's death leaves an empty seat in the Supreme Court. There is now great concern amongst liberals about her replacement. The decision will impact legal policy and law making in the States for many years.
