then it says, p.s., quite unprovoked, ruth bader ginsburg is a very capable and knowledgeable justice. just fyi, senator goldwater. >> she did an incredibly generous thing when ginsburg was pretty junior justice and o'connor was assigned the vmi case. she said to justice stevens who assigned it, no. this opinion should be ruth's. that is an incredibly generous thing. that is a big deal opinion. and when justice ginsburg announced the opinion she cited that mississippi case and she lacked do looked down the bench at ginsburg and the two of them had this moment that probably no one else in the courtroom noticed but they did. that was all that really mattered. it sort of, i always thought it was kind of important. linda, your book, you know, let me just say this outright. you're a lefty. and you're more -- [ laughter ] -- you're more in sympathy i think with justice ginsburg's over arching way of approaching the law. but you came to believe that o'connor was the perfect first as you put it. why? >> so this was o'connor's personal impact on me. right? when i was writing the book about her

we're extraordinarily grateful to justices ruth bader ginsburg and sonia sotomayor to join us to honor sandra day o'connor. it turns out that justice ginsberg and justice o'connor share an unusual distinction and that is interesting nicknames. when justice o'connor was confirmed she earned the moniker fwotsc for first woman on the supreme court. justice ginsburg has been kroub crowned the notorious rbg. i'll leave it to you to decide which one is catchier. they share a lifelong commitment to expanding opportunities for women. it makes sense when justice ginsburg joins justice o'connor on the bench in 1993, the two bonded over their historic role in transforming the supreme court. both justices had to overcome discrimination and professional rejection, but justice o'connor once put a helpful spin on it if they had come of age when women could easily be lawyers, she told justice ginsburg, they would probably end up as retired partners at some law firm. but because that route was not open to us, justice o'connor explained, we had to find another way and we both ended up in the united stat

>> ruth bader ginsburg did have to do the great work around also.while she was at harvard law school, one of the very few women in the class her husband was also there. she was applying and she was asked why she wanted to go to law school. i'm sure she wanted to throw up when she said that because of course it's not why she wanted to go to law school so she could understand what her husband was doing she wanted to be a lawyer. and she wanted to become supreme court justice. she knew that's what she needed to say. she knew that's what she needed to say to get into law school. if you're able to do something like that and it leads to your being the powerful person you are, i think you have to recognize the times. >> it's interesting to see i think the ways we can think about biased and how people interact on a daily basis but there's the unwritten ways i think things that saturate our lives. you point out at one point in the book some examples, i think at the very beginning, that something like wikipedia only has like 15 percent of it focuses on women

like every election, absentee voters here, they have to get them in, that's the thing that got ruth bader ginsburg who wrote the main defense here for the liberals, that's what triggered her. she was kind of in disbelieve that the conservatives here would say, this is like any election. she wrote in this dissent, the court's suggestion that the current situation is not substantially different from an ordinary election boggles the mind. she also wrote, she was writing last night, she said, the court's order requires absentee voters to post mark their ballots by election date, april 7th, even if they did not receive their ballots by that date. that is a novel requirement. she's dripping with sarcasm. unlike the majority, she really focused on the pandemic and said, look, there are a thousand cases. there are deaths here. voter are going to be disenfranchised. and more of these cases, even without the pandemic, we already knew they were going to be more challenging to voting rights. now you have this pandemic going on, more of these cases in other states are going to go through the lower courts and h

in her dissent to that ruling, ruth bader ginsburg laid out how insane this is. >> now, you might be sitting there watching all of this, and wondering why? why the hell would wisconsin republicans, who have already used anti-democratic gerrymandering to stay in power, why are they insistent on holding this primary election today? gerrymandering to stay in power, why are they insistent on holding this primary election today? and here's the answer. it's because there's a conservative state supreme court justice on the ballot, who they really, really want to win. in part, they want him to win to stay on the supreme court, and help them purge voters. and they think a low turnout election amidst a pandemic will probably help them. the scene in milwaukee today, where the population is largely black or hispanic, would seem to back that up, all right? milwaukee is the epicenter of the outbreak in the state of wisconsin. it also has 16% of the state's population, but half of the coronavirus cases in the state. there were long lines to vote in milwaukee today. largely because the city opened j

he's the author most recently of a great book called "conversations with rbg, ruth bader ginsburg, on law." jeffrey, what are is the usual practice? they told argument it's on monday, tuesday, wednesday, release transcripts and you correct me if i'm wrong, but the audio doesn't come until a couple days later? >> that's almost always the case. there have been a couple of big cases where they released the audio two hours after the argument. but never before in u.s. history have they done live streaming from the audio, which the court says they will now do for 11 cases that will be argued in may. so this is historic. and for the first time ever, citizens will have an opportunity to hear supreme court arguments live. >> so, they are publicity shy is my point. because by the time the audio comes out on a friday from a monday argument, we've all moved on five times over with the news cycle. and although they're going to allow us, we hope, to hear these arguments in realtime, as they do them telephonically, they are a step shy of zoom, which all of our kids are now being educated on. >> no q
