mark, your reaction, first of all, to ruth bader ginsburg's death? certainly, she will have an extraordinary legacy when it comes to protecting individual rights in the united states, her long history as an advocate for the civil liberties union and then of course as a supreme court justice, pushing freely for women's rights, abortion rights, voting rights, but she spent much of her career on the supreme court on the minority side, the losing side, so she was known in the end more for herfiery dissent on was known in the end more for her fiery dissent on behalf of those rights than for any setting of new direction in the law, but politically, her legacy will be much more mixed, there will be serious questions raised as historians look back at her decision in 2016 not to resign from the court and give president barack 0bama another opportunity to nominate a liberal justice, but opportunity to nominate a liberaljustice, but rather to cling to her seat despite her poor health and so to give, as we now find, donald trump a third crack at adding a conserv

ruth bader ginsburg did not simply take opportunities afforded to women. more than perhaps any american in history, she helped to create those opportunities. loretta and i offer our deepest condolences to her friends and family, help her daughter jane, her son james, her grandchildren and great-granddaughter. may her memory be a blessing and may her life be a guiding light for all of us. madam president, i ask consent that the next statement be placed in a separate part of the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. durbin: madam president, americans across the nation were shocked and deaf stated when -- devastated when they heard the news of justice ginsburg's passing. the gravity of that announcement hit hard, not because just the loss of a national icon; because of the sense of foreboding of what would happen next right here in this chamber. in the united states senate. the year 2020 has already brought us so much pain and anguish much the pandemic that is killed 200,000 americans, sickened over six million. devastating job losses and econ

i, ruth bader ginsburg, do solemnly swear... it was president bill clinton who nominated her to the supreme court in 1993. in the hearing she defended a woman's right to choose an abortion. she became only the second female justice in history, defying those concerned about her age. i was aged 60 when i was nominated. and some people thought i was too old for the job. well now i am into my 27th, starting my 27th year on the court, so i am one of the longest tenured justices. so if you worried about my age... it was unnecessary. laughs. ruth bader ginsburg was a powerful author of legal opinions. when the court ruled in favour of george w bush in 2000, effectively deciding the presidential election in his favour, she famously wrote the dissent. as more conservative justices were appointed to the court in recent years, her dissenting opinions were more frequent, and her legacy became clear. 0n the court she continued to legitimise and extend the rights of women. in the workplace, in education, in all walks of life. but beyond that,
