Ruth Bader Ginsburg Is The Queen Of The Internet. And That's Pretty Much The Law.

A new book on the most "notorious" justice on the Supreme Court leaves no doubt as to why she's an icon of equal citizenship for all.

One of the most tired clichés in Supreme Court lore is the idea that today’s dissents are tomorrow’s majorities.

It's a thing. Ruth Bader Ginsburg knows it.

Dissents are often lonely, loud and legally insignificant. The person dissenting is hardly celebrating. On occasion, the dissent may offer a call to action, or maybe a few words of guidance for lawyers, lawmakers and legal minds wanting to try new things or bring about reform. Dissents may get quoted for clicks; at worst, they fall on deaf ears.

In life and in law, Ginsburg has experienced dissent, and now there's a book to show for it. In Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, MSNBC reporter Irin Carmon and recent law graduate Shana Knizhnik trace some of the justice’s greatest dissenting moments -- both from on the bench and off -- and what they mean in the larger scheme of Ginsburg’s quest for “equal citizenship stature” for everyone under the law.
