  1. with Bader Ginsburg, nominated in 1993 by President Bill Clinton,
  2. was the first Jewish woman and second woman to serve
  3. on the Supreme Court.
  4. She was born to Nathan and Celia Bader on March
  5. 15th, 1933.
  6. She was a second born daughter, and her mother, Celia,
  7. always stressed the importance of going to school and ex
  8. selling in school.
  9. Ruth was a great student, and in high school she
  10. succeeded. Unfortunately, one day before she graduated high school, her
  11. mother, Celia, passed away from cancer in 1954 youth went
  12. to Cornell University and graduated as first in her class.
  13. The first memorable bull case I want to talk about
  14. that Ruth Bader Ginsburg was involved in was the US
  15. United States vs Virginia in 1996.
  16. There was one college left that was for Onley males,
  17. and Ruth Toe said that it was against the 14
  18. Amendment, which making that all male school unconstitutional.
  19. The second bill I want to talk about is whole
  20. woman's health versus had there's death, which was in 2000
  21. and 16.
  22. Home Woman's Health attacked Helder Stat because of the Abortion
  23. Act, which impose restrictions and requirements for people who performed
  24. abortions, which impose strict restrictions such as doctors performing abortions
  25. would have to have privileges.
  26. Admitting patients to nearby hospitals and clinics would have to
  27. do the same.
  28. The Supreme Court justices struck down the bill from 5
  29. to 3, and Ruth was one of the five, saying
  30. that it's beyond rational belief that HB two could generally
  31. protect the health of women and certain that the law
  32. would simply make it more hard for women to attain
  33. abortion. The third case I want to talk about is
  34. Ledbetter versus Goodyear tires and Rubbers, where Ledbetter in 2007
  35. sued Good Year tires and rubber for paying her less
  36. than her male counterparts.
  37. She sued Goodyear Tire and Rubber for gender discrimination, and
  38. that would go under Title seven of the Civil Rights
  39. Act of 1964 and Goodyear Tire invited the clause by
  40. saying, Ah, you have to report the clause 180 days
  41. after the violation occurs.
  42. So basically saying that Ledbetter could Onley complain 180 days
  43. about the discrimination of her pay a que stating that
  44. men should be paid more than women.
  45. Unfortunately, Lilly Ledbetter lost the case 5 to 4 in
  46. favor of Goodyear.
  47. Ruth did not like that at all.
  48. Fortunately, in 2000 and nine, President Barack Obama signed Ah
  49. Ledbetter act as first thing as president.
