Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg compared to Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes

On the Basis of Sex and Ruth Bader Ginsburg: The manufacturing of a “living legend”

 

[ Former Israeli Supreme Court President Aharon Barak made a similar statement, calling Ginsburg “one of the great legal minds of our time; an outstanding Jewish jurist whose fearless pursuit of human rights, equality and justice for all stems from her Jewish values.” ]

This from a July 5, 2018 article by Sam Sokol ( under " Israel ") titled:

 "In Jerusalem Ruth Bader Ginsberg celebrates her commitment to TIKKUN OLAM " ( " repairing tears in the community and making things better for the less fortunate ) . Clearly TIKKUN OLAM prevails in Apartheid Israel today. Ask the Walled- Off- Palestinians.

               For BRAINS I was more impressed by a condensed biography of Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes - branded a RADICAL in his day for defense of civil liberties- like FREE SPEECH.

  Holmes observed that the American constitution did not authorize any particular economic system. Influenced by Darwinism in a century of CHANGE and PROGRESS, Judge Holmes did not want to see the American Constitution become a dried up fossil interpreted by fossilized legal minds.

              No American judge like Oliver Wendell Holmes is around today.
