USPS to honor the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg with new stamp

USPS to honor the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg with new stamp
me. So there anything on the it is and I can't remember Simpson, she's caring, we choose people who have made an exemplary difference in their careers in their fields and in particular those who have given back when the idea of Justice Ginsburg becoming a great american medal winner came to us all. It seemed so obvious she had made way for conversations and case precedent around gender equity around what we as women and men could do and to live equal lives. She had become a course of pop sensation and even made her way into the world of hip hop with her notorious RBG mimicking the notorious B. I. G. And she was also such a dedicated, incredible, passionate advocate for the constitution and for the rights of all. one of the reasons a side of the sure. So because there were so few women jurists and of course there were none on this High Court of the United States until Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, what women would wear was somewhat in question. Many of them I think issued neckties, let's just say that for starters. And so they looked to historic precedents, the beautiful lace collars of the barristers of old and then increasingly as a sign of self expression. The only thing you really could modify in your official judicial. Where was the caller? As Justice Ginsburg time on the high court progress. People sent her callers. She was known like Queen Elizabeth for picking the color to express another layer of communication about a case. One of the more special objects to me that dr jane Ginsburg and mr James Ginsburg gave us was their mothers briefcase, but soft leather, soft sided with her very simple, elegant black with RBG emblazoned in gold. And I think that her hand carried that bag into the court out of the court. And it resonated with me that my professional career, it was made possible by women like her right who braved those paths, who were told that they didn't belong. And yet she carried that in her hand. Every day she walked into court.
