Ruth Bader Ginsburg spoke about her life and work during a discussion at Georgetown Law School in Washington on 6 April 2018."Her opinions, including well-known decisions regarding the legal equality of women and the disabled, have inspired all Americans, and generations of great legal minds," he added.Earlier in the evening, in learning of the liberal icon's death while he was on the campaign trail, Mr Trump paid tribute to the"amazing life" of the 87-year-old justice.
"Our Nation has lost a jurist of historic stature. We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn, but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her — a tireless and resolute champion of justice." - John Roberts
