Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, RBG. For all Americans, I believe Friday night was a sad evening as we learned the news. Justice Ginsburg truly made a difference, both during her tenure on the Court and through her long career. Justice Ginsburg inspired people. Justice Ginsburg inspired women. Justice Ginsburg inspired young women. Justice Ginsburg broke the glass ceiling in so many different ways through her fierce advocacy for women's rights and civil justice. Justice Ginsburg's keen ability to build bridges between conservatives and liberal Justices garnered the respect of all jurists, regardless of their political philosophy, something we should take note of here in the people's House of Representatives, that we bridge the gap between our political differences and remember that we are Americans first. Ruth Bader Ginsburg always reminded us that we are Americans first and that equal justice under the law is always the credo of the American way. Justice Ginsburg served in so many ways for so many examples on how to balance the scales of justice. Our Nation will mourn Justice Ginsburg's loss and honor her legacy for generations to come, I truly believe, because she is a role model for all. ____________________”
