Ruth Bader Ginsburg (March 15, 1933 – September 18, 2020) was an American lawyer and jurist who served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020. She was nominated to the Supreme Court by President Bill Clinton to replace retiring justice Byron White, and at the time was generally viewed as a moderate consensus-builder. She eventually became part of the liberal wing of the Supreme Court as the Court shifted to the right over time. Ginsburg was the first Jewish woman and the second woman to serve on the Supreme Court, after Sandra Day O'Connor. During her tenure, Ginsburg wrote notable majority opinions, including United States v. Virginia (1996), Olmstead v. L.C. (1999), Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services, Inc. (2000), and City of Sherrill v. Oneida Indian Nation of New York (2005). This official photographic portrait of Ginsburg was taken by Supreme Court photographer Steve Petteway in 2016.

A few lines down in the "In Popular Culture" section: "contented" should be changed to "contents" – the noun has been incorrectly transformed into the alternate-meaning verb formulation of the root word. Learnedgopher (talk) 02:03, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

I think there are enough critiques of Ginsburg's City of Sherrill v. Oneida Indian Nation of New York decision by Indigenous people and scholars to merit mentioning that it provoked those responses. Many reports of the Vatican's recent decision to repudiate the discovery doctrine cite that decision as the most recent use of the concept, so it's clearly part of her legacy.

In the first paragraph, it says: "She eventually became part of the liberal wing of the Court as the Court shifted to the right over time." This is unsourced and highly controversial. 174.255.1.103 (talk) 20:55, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. - FlightTime (open channel) 20:56, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

I agree with the request, and it's easiest to simply delete the sentence. It adds little other than opinion, and is unsourced. I moved the wiki link to the next location mentioning her liberal views. Efbrazil (talk) 17:28, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

I additionally moved forward content that was sourced and covered her liberal leanings to replace what was deleted. I think it overall reads better now and removes redundancy from an over-long lead. Efbrazil (talk) 17:36, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
