WASHINGTON (AP) — The late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was remembered during ceremonies at the Supreme Court. The justice was a champion for women’s rights and died just ahead of the 2020 election. Chief Justice John Roberts called her a “woman of conviction, courage and quiet compassion.” Ginsburg served as a justice for 27 years and was the Supreme Court’s second female member. Her death allowed then-President Donald Trump to replace the liberal icon with a conservative justice, moving the high court to the right. The ceremonies at the Supreme Court are a tradition following the death of a justice. The tradition dates to 1822.
