“I stand here to honor the life and legacy of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. In everything Justice Ginsburg did--from her pivotal role in the fight for gender equality, to her storied legal career, to her serving on the DC Court of Appeals and, ultimately, as a member of the U.S. Supreme Court--throughout her life's journey, she used every ounce of her ability to give voice to the voiceless and build a more just and equitable world. Justice Ginsburg was a lion on the bench. She ruled on monumental and historic cases, and the decisions she made--and even the dissents she wrote--have shaped this country and set us on a better path. This remarkable woman inspired countless Americans to fight for the best of us even when it was hard, even when it was inconvenient. I know I wouldn't be here without Ruth Bader Ginsburg's leading the way. We have a responsibility to honor her legacy, her work, and the ethos of Justice Ginsburg. Part of her legacy was her decision to uphold the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, and we have seen too many attempts to dismantle this key cornerstone of her legacy. In my time as Senator, I have met countless Nevadans, and I have had the chance to speak with Americans from all across the country. I can say with certainty that there is no issue that matters more to the American people than their health, especially now.…”
