1:34Now PlayingU.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who championed gender equality, died yesterday at age 87. The second woman on the court, she embraced her role as a dissenter, writing minority opinions on topics ranging from environmental law to intellectual property and civil rights.
Her death gives President Donald Trump a chance to try to shift the already conservative nine-member court further to the right by choosing a successor who, if confirmed in time, could strengthen his hand in legal disputes over the November election.
Only days before her death, National Public Radio reported that Ginsburg dictated this statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”
