You god answered me with expanse. In the chambers of Justice Ginsburg hangs a framed piece of , justice,eads justice, you must pursue. Meaning toon finds every single word in the torah. There must be a reason why justice is written twice. Teaches, even ezra, a medieval rabbi, that time and time again, all of the days of your life, you must pursue justice. This was how Justice Ginsburg lived her life. Justice did not arrive like a lightning bolt, that rather through dogged persistence. All the days of her life real change, she said, enduring change happens one step at a time. Many obstacles in her life even from a young age. So chosen as valedictorian of her High School Class she gave no graduation speech. Instead she grieved at home with her father after burying her beloved mother one day before graduation. Her family had already suffered terrible loss with the death of justiceer when ginsburg was only 14 months old, but Justice Ginsburg kept rising. A full scholarship to Cornell University and only one of nine women in her Harvard Law School class. After transferring to Columbia Law School she graduated first in her class, yet she could not find a job. No firm in new york would hire her because she was a woman. Deterobstacles did not her. She pressed down. As she said in an interview with her dear friend Nina Totenberg i quote, i get out of law school with top grades. No law firm in the city of new york will hire me. I end up teaching. That gave me time to devote to the movement of evening out the throat] clears excuse me, of women and men. Vacancy onated to a the d. C. Circuit judge. Justice oconnor once said to me, suppose we had come of age and a time when women lawyers were welcome at the bar. You know what . Today we would have been retired partners from some large law firm. Ute was not the ro open to us we had to find another way in both end up on the United States supreme court. All the days of her life she pursued justice. Even in illness she fought five bouts of cancer and supported her beloved marty through his battle with cancer as well. Each time she pressed forward. She returned to work, to the bench, to the court, with focus, each and every time. Nothing was given. Pursuing justice took resilience, persistence, a commitment to never stop. Equality forhe won women and men not in one swift case, but through meticulous, careful lawyering. She changed the course of american law. Even when her views did not prevail she still fought. In recent years, Justice Ginsburg became famous for her dissents. Option. Was not an dissentsnd i quote, speak to a future age. It is not simply to say, my colleagues are wrong and i would do it this way. But the greatest dissents do become Court Opinions and heirually, over time, t views become the dominant view hope isthe dissenters they are not writing for today, but for tomorrow. Her dissents were not cries of defeat. They were blueprints for the future. Justice ginsburg loved her family. Her grandchildren, her dear colleagues, and her court family. We all send our love to you. Justice ginsburg also loved the court to which she so devoted her life. A court for all of us. It was Justice Ginsburgs tenacious hope to preserve the integrity of the court. Today she makes history again as the first woman in the first jewish woman to lie in state. Today we stand in sorrow and mustrow we, the people, carry on Justice Ginsburgs legacy. Even as our hearts are breaking we must rise with her strength and move forward. Our northr prophet, star, i were strength, for so strength for so very long. Now she must be permitted to rest after toiling so long for us all. Justicememory of Ruth Bader Ginsburg forever and ever be a blessing. Strength andthe bless us with the courage, the intelligence, the bravery, and the unbreakable result to pursue justice. Amen. Ladies and gentlemen, miss denise graves, accompanied by miss laura ward. All weve been given by those who came before the dream of a nation where freedom would endure the work and prayers for centuries have brought us to this day what will be our legacy . What will our children say .
