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)
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)
I disagree that this text was "unsourced and highly controversial"—it's widely discussed in sources and fully cited in the article body. Not at all controversial. Binksternet (talk) 17:39, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
Sorry for my mangled comment in edit history, entered accidentally. It's fair to say existing text wasn't wrong, but I do think the redundancy in the text should be removed, and the third paragraph shortened. See if what's there now works for you. Efbrazil (talk) 17:48, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
You have mixed up the 1990s "moderate" view with the eventual liberal view of her. Her position changed over time, but you erased that fact. You told the reader she was immediately seen as liberal, which is not true. Binksternet (talk) 18:19, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
LA Times source further in the article is clear she was seen as center left. For instance:
People for the American Way, a liberal group, called her “a significant improvement” over other recent nominees, but cited questions about her stands on “access to the courts, privacy rights, and her capacity to forge effective coalitions among justices on the moderate-liberal wings of the court.”
And:
Clinton was said to have sought a moderate who would move slightly to the left a court that often splits, 5 to 4, on contentious issues.
On reviewing some more sources I removed the "left-leaning" part in front of moderate as I couldn't find a source from the time that made that explicit. Mostly it appears she was a consensus choice, satisfying to both liberals and conservatives given that she was being chosed by a democratic president. Efbrazil (talk) 19:53, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
Death and Succession
The very end of the last paragraph under the 'Death and Succession' tab reads:
"Days before her death, Ginsburg dictated a statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera, as heard by Ginsburg's doctor and others in the room at the time: "My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed." Despite Ginsburg's request, President Trump's pick to replace her, Amy Coney Barrett, was confirmed by the Senate on October 27."
Is this information relevant? If it is, is it fair to say that the Senate confirmed her successor 'despite her request,' or rather, that her request had no bearing on the proceedings at all? 174.213.161.82 (talk) 04:28, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
Fair enough, I removed "Despite her request" from the sentence as it offered little of substance and could give the appearance of bias. Certainly her request has little bearing on what followed her death, and the nomination was pushed through "despite" many points of opposition. Efbrazil (talk) 17:24, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
