Politicians and celebrities mourned the death of Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the longest serving justice on the United States Supreme Court and leader of the liberal wing. Ginsburg died on Friday (18), at the age of 87, from complications of pancreatic cancer.
Ginsburg was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year, but it was not the first time she underwent serious treatments. In 1999, she was treated for colon cancer and also faced pancreatic cancer in 2009. In December 2018, she also received treatment for lung cancer.
In 2018, the judge was honored with the film ‘Suprema’, a feature film with Felicity Jones in the lead role that accompanies Ginsburg’s story during her youth and her attempted career as a lawyer in the 1960s and 1970s.
- Republican hypocrisy in the future of the Supreme Court
“Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought cancer to the end with an unshakable faith in our democracy and its ideals. This is how we remember it. She left us instructions on how she wanted her legacy honored.
“We lost one of the most extraordinary justices of all time who served on the Supreme Court. The life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her strong opinions brought us closer to a more perfect union.”

“Please work your ultimate magic, brilliant mind, and heavenly courage! Help us here! Thank you for your service, Queen! Rest in glorious peace.”
“Thank you for fighting for us. May your legacy be our motivation to actively seek true justice for all.”
“Fight for the things that interest you, but do it in a way that others will join you.” RIP, RBG
“Women belong wherever decisions are made”, Ruth Bader Ginsburg
In a note signed by President Luiz Fux, the Federal Supreme Court (STF) stated that it “receives with regret” the news of Gisnburg’s death. “His work in the defense of gender equality, minorities and the environment is one of the marks of his career, both in law and in the Judicial Branch of the highest court in the United States of America.”
Minister Luís Roberto Barroso reflected on Twitter the death of the Minister of the Supreme Court of the United States, Ruth Bader Ginsburg:
“Ruth Ginsburg marked her time as a lawyer and as a judge. History is a collective social process. But there are people who make a difference.”
