87-year-old Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died Friday evening at her Washington D.C. home due to complications of pancreatic cancer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a news release<\/strong><\/a> by the Supreme Court of the United States on Friday, Chief Justice John G. Roberts shared his thoughts on Ginsburg\u2019s death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur Nation has lost a jurist of historic stature. We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn, but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her — a tireless and resolute champion of justice.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement<\/a><\/strong> issued on July 17 she had started a round of chemotherapy for a recurrence of cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cImmunotherapy first essayed proved unsuccessful. The chemotherapy course, however, is yielding positive results. Satisfied that my treatment course is now clear, I am providing this information.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Justice Ginsburg served on the nation\u2019s highest court for 27 years, starting in 1993 when she was appointed by President Bill Clinton. She was the second female to be appointed to the court. The first was Sandra Day O\u2019Connor in 1981. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the news release, a private memorial will be held at Arlington National Cemetery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
