CLEVELAND, OH – U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) today released a statement on the passing of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg:
“Justice
Ginsburg shattered glass ceilings for women who haven’t yet been born, and
brought our country closer to living up to our founding ideals. Her intellect
and passion and commitment to justice were simply unmatched,” said Brown. “I pray that the same force of principles to
which she held herself will help guide the leaders of this country. The
American people deserve a voice in the momentous decision we now face, and it was her dying
wish, according to her family, that we wait for their choice to lead us to take
office in January to confirm a new justice. We honor Justice Ginsburg best by
fighting as hard as we can to preserve her legacy and ensure that women are in
all places where decisions are being made.”
