Ruth Bader Ginsburg Passes Away Aged 87

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died aged 87.

An appointee of Democratic President Bill Clinton in 1993, Ginsburg’s almost 30 years as a Supreme Court Justice has seen her serve as the court’s most senior liberal member in recent years.

Oftentimes a story bigger than the cases she judged, and at times referred to as the “Notorious R.B.G.” Ginsburg was at the forefront of some of the most controversial decisions in her tenure on subjects as varied as immigration and same sex marriage, abortion rights and affirmative action.
