The U.S. Embassy in Georgia released a statement over death of US Supreme Court Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

“Today, we mourn the loss of a trailblazer, not only in the field of law, but in the history of our country. Ruth Bader Ginsburg served more than 27 years as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States and was an inspiration to all Americans. She worked tirelessly for more than 34 years as a litigator and jurist and, in 1993, she became just the second woman to sit on the Supreme Court of the United States.

Renowned for her powerful dissents at the Supreme Court, Justice Ginsburg epitomized powerful yet respectful argument; that you can disagree with someone without being disagreeable to them. Justice Ginsburg’s work helped bring about greater equality for women, secure rights for the disabled, and will continue to influence our nation for generations to come,” reads the statement.

US Supreme Court Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on September 18 due to complications of metastatic pancreas cancer, the court announced. She was 87.
