2020年9月18日星期五，华盛顿，最高法院外的鲜花和蜡烛。此前，最高法院宣布最高法院法官鲁斯·巴德·金斯伯格死于转移性胰腺癌，享年87岁。
唐纳德·特朗普总统在一份声明中强调，金斯伯格只是第二位被任命为最高法院法官的女性。他称她为“法律巨人”，她“以聪明的头脑和强大的异议而闻名”
特朗普说:“作为一名战斗到底的战士，金斯伯格法官在她非凡的一生中与癌症和其他长期疾病进行了斗争。”"愿她的记忆是对这个世界的一种伟大而壮丽的祝福."
在一份公告中，特朗普下令在她被拘留的当天，在白宫、全国所有公共建筑和场地以及军事基地降半旗，直到日落。
几位前总统在声明中分享了他们的回忆。
根据巴拉克·奥巴马总统的说法，金斯伯格帮助激励了后代对正义的追求。
“作为一名无情的诉讼律师和敏锐的法学家，金斯伯格法官在长期的法官生涯中帮助我们认识到，基于性别的歧视不是抽象的平等理想;它不仅伤害女性;这对我们所有人都有真正的影响。这是关于我们是谁——我们能成为谁，”奥巴马在周五晚上的一份声明中说。
比尔·克林顿总统于1993年任命金斯伯格为最高法院法官，称她为“有史以来最杰出的法官之一”，她“面对自己的困境时有无限的勇气”。
“当我任命她时，她在最高法院的27年甚至超过了我的最高期望，”他说。“她具有里程碑意义的观点推动了性别平等、婚姻平等、残疾人权利、移民权利等等，让我们更接近‘更完美的结合’。”"

乔治·布什总统说，他和他的妻子劳拉·布什“很幸运认识了这个聪明幽默的开拓者。”
“她将自己87年非凡的岁月中的许多时光奉献给了对正义和平等的追求，她激励了不止一代的妇女和女孩，”他说。"金斯伯格法官热爱我们的国家和法律."
吉米·卡特总统于1980年任命金斯伯格为美国上诉法院法官，称她为“真正伟大的女性”
他说:“作为一个强大的法律头脑和性别平等的坚定倡导者，在她漫长而卓越的职业生涯中，她一直是正义的灯塔。”。
民主党总统候选人、前副总统乔·拜登周五晚上抵达特拉华州时向记者宣读了一份声明。
拜登说:“我们得知了鲁斯·巴德·金斯伯格的死讯，她不仅是法律界的巨人，也是一位受人爱戴的人物，我向所有关心她和关心她的人表示衷心的慰问。”。"她实践了美国最高的正义理想:法律面前的平等和正义."
“鲁斯·巴德·金斯伯格代表我们所有人，”他补充道。

Politicians, celebrities react to death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Tributes toRuth Bader Ginsburgswiftly followed news of thepassingof the trailblazing Supreme Court justice Friday night.
Politicians, journalists and celebrities offered their condolences to the family of Ginsburg, 87, who died due to complications of metastatic pancreas cancer, Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said.
Among them were her fellow justices.
"Our Nation has lost a jurist of historic stature," Chief Justice John Roberts said in a statement. "We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn, but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her -- a tireless and resolute champion of justice."
Flowers and candles outside the Supreme Court Friday, Sept. 18, 2020, in Washington, after the Supreme Court announced that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died of metastatic pancreatic cancer at age 87.
In a statement, President Donald Trump highlighted that Ginsburg was just the second woman ever to be appointed to the Supreme Court. He referred to her as a "titan of the law," who was "renowned for her brilliant mind and her powerful dissents."
"A fighter to the end, Justice Ginsburg battled cancer, and other very long odds, throughout her remarkable life," Trump said. "May her memory be a great and magnificent blessing to the world."
In a proclamation, Trump ordered U.S. flags at the White House, all public buildings and grounds and military bases throughout the country to be flown at half-staff until sunset on the day of her internment.
Several former presidents shared their remembrances in statements.
Ginsburg, according to President Barack Obama, helped inspire future generations' pursuit of justice.
"Over a long career on both sides of the bench – as a relentless litigator and an incisive jurist – Justice Ginsburg helped us see that discrimination on the basis of sex isn’t about an abstract ideal of equality; that it doesn’t only harm women; that it has real consequences for all of us. It’s about who we are – and who we can be," Obama said in a statement Friday night.
President Bill Clinton, who appointed Ginsburg to the Supreme Court in 1993, called her "one of the most extraordinary Justices ever," who had "boundless courage in the face of her own adversity."
"Her 27 years on the Court exceeded even my highest expectations when I appointed her," he said. "Her landmark opinions advancing gender equality, marriage equality, the rights of people with disabilities, the rights of immigrants, and so many more moved us closer to 'a more perfect union.'"
In this June 15, 1993, file photo, President Bill Clinton applauds as Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg prepares to speak in the Rose Garden of the White House, after he announced he would nominate her to the Supreme Court.
President George W. Bush said he and his wife, Laura Bush, were "fortunate to have known this smart and humorous trailblazer."
"She dedicated many of her 87 remarkable years to the pursuit of justice and equality, and she inspired more than one generation of women and girls," he said. "Justice Ginsburg loved our country and the law."
President Jimmy Carter, who appointed Ginsburg to the U.S. Court of Appeals in 1980, called her a "truly great woman."
"A powerful legal mind and a staunch advocate for gender equality, she has been a beacon of justice during her long and remarkable career," he said.
Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee for president and former vice president, read a statement to reporters upon landing in Delaware Friday night.
"We learned of the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was not only a giant in the legal profession, but a beloved figure, and my heart goes out to all those who cared for her and care about her," Biden said. "And she practiced the highest American ideals as a justice: equality and justice under the law."
"Ruth Bader Ginsburg stood for all of us," he added.

Vice President Mike Pence
"Today, America mourns the passing of a true public, servant, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Justice Ginsburg led an inspiring life, and her storied career paved the way for women in the law. As an advocate and an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, she was a champion for women whose tireless determination reshaped our national life. A fierce defender of her judicial philosophy, Justice Ginsburg will always be remembered as a jurist who respected and commanded the respect of her colleagues."
Sen. Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham
"It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Justice Ginsburg. Justice Ginsburg was a trailblazer who possessed tremendous passion for her causes. She served with honor and distinction as a member of the Supreme Court."

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
"The Senate and the nation mourn the sudden passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the conclusion of her extraordinary American life. Justice Ginsburg overcame one personal challenge and professional barrier after another. She climbed from a modest Brooklyn upbringing to a seat on our nation's highest court and into the pages of American history. Justice Ginsburg was thoroughly dedicated to the legal profession and to her 27 years of service on the Supreme Court. Her intelligence and determination earned her respect and admiration throughout the legal world, and indeed throughout the entire nation, which now grieves alongside her family, friends, and colleagues."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
"The loss of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is devasting. Justice Ginsberg embodied justice, brilliance and goodness, and her passing is an incalculable loss for our democracy and for all who sacrifice and strive to build a better future for our children.
"Every family in America benefited from her brilliant legacy and courage. Over the course of her quarter century as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsberg became an icon, inspiring people around the world with her tenacity, towering intellect and devotion to the American promise of equality and opportunity for all. Her tireless advocacy in the fight for gender equality, whether working at the ACLU, arguing cases before the Supreme Court or authoring thoughtful and historic opinions and dissents as an Associate Justice, leaves an enduring legacy of progress for all women. Her opinions have unequivocally cemented the precedent that all men and women are created equal.
"We must honor Justice Ginsburg's trailblazing career and safeguard her powerful legacy by ensuring that the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court upholds her commitment to equality, opportunity and justice for all. May it be a source of comfort to her children, Jane and James, her grandchildren Paul, Clara, Miranda and Abigail, and loved ones that so many people around the world mourn their loss and are praying for them at this sad time."
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
"Tonight, we mourn the passing of a giant in American history, a champion for justice, a trailblazer for women. She would want us all to fight as hard as we can to preserve her legacy."

She was a brilliant and successful litigator, an admired court of appeals judge, and a profoundly influential Supreme Court Justice. For all her achievements in those roles, she will perhaps be remembered most for inspiring women in the legal profession and beyond. She and I did not agree on every issue, but her legal ability, personal integrity, and determination were beyond doubt. She leaves a towering legacy, and all who seek justice mourn her loss."
Rep. Katie Porter
"I'm thinking today about Justice Ginsburg's remark that there will be enough women on the Supreme Court when there are nine. History will remember #RBG as a trailblazer and a voice for liberty and equality."
