Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s public record — opinions, dissents, interviews, speeches — is unusually well documented for a public figure, which makes her quotes easier to verify than most. That also means it’s easier to catch when a paraphrase or a compressed soundbite gets passed around as something she said word for word.One I’ve checked closely: “I am fearful, or suspicious, of generalizations”, which is close to something she said but not a clean verified transcript — the post lays out exactly what I could and couldn’t confirm.
