US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dies at age 87

Champion of women’s rights dies at home after battle with cancer

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a trailblazing feminist icon and a steadfast liberal voice on the United States Supreme Court since the early 1990s, died on Friday aged 87 after a lengthy battle with cancer.

Known to her legion of fans as RBG, Ginsburg was lauded for her decades-long commitment to justice and women’s rights, drawing praise from across the political divide, including from President Donald Trump, who dubbed her a “titan” with a “brilliant mind”.

Such non-partisan displays may be short-lived. Ginsburg leaves behind a vacant seat on a key judicial body in a high-stakes election year, offering Mr Trump the chance to expand the court’s conservative majority with a rare third appointment in his four-year presidential term.

“Our nation has lost a jurist of historic stature,” the court’s Chief Justice John Roberts said in a statement.

“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.”

Within hours of the court’s statement, crowds gathered outside the elegant marble edifice in Washington to pay their respects, lighting candles, waving rainbow flags for sexual and gender rights and chanting "RBG".

Ginsburg was born to Jewish immigrant parents in Brooklyn, New York City, in 1933. She rose from her working-class background and fought sexism and stereotypes to study at a male-dominated Harvard Law School.

Despite finishing top of her class, Ginsburg struggled to get work upon graduation — which she attributed to being “Jewish, a woman and a mother”. She took several law jobs in the 1960s and in 1972 founded the women’s rights project of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and became Columbia Law School’s first tenured woman professor.

Anthony Romero, ACLU’s executive director, lauded Ginsburg’s legal activism in the early 1970s, when she led more than 300 workplace suits that “established the foundation for the current legal prohibitions against sex discrimination” in the US.

“She leaves a country changed because of her life’s work,” he said.

Ginsburg joined the Washington DC court of appeals under the Carter administration in 1980. In 1993, then US president Bill Clinton appointed her to the Supreme Court – the second woman ever named to the body after Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.

There, the 1.5m-tall lawyer played an outsize role in shaping policies on hot-button issues with progressive votes in landmark rulings on rights for women, gays, minorities and on safeguarding access to abortions and preserving the Obamacare healthcare law.

Over a six-decade legal career, Ginsburg achieved unlikely celebrity status for a jurist. She was admired for her sharp legal instincts, her withering put-downs and – for those on the left – her progressive votes on divisive social issues.

In recent years, she became a cult figure among #MeToo-era feminists for her decades-long crusade for women's rights. In the 2018 documentary about her, RBG, she said: "I ask no favour for my sex. All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks."

Ginsburg suffered from bouts of cancer from the late 1990s and grew increasingly frail. Democrats had long feared that her death could tip the balance of the nine-member court, which already had a 5-4 conservative majority, further to the right.

According to the court, Ginsburg, a widowed mother-of-two, died on Friday evening from complications of metastatic pancreas cancer surrounded by her family at her home. She will be buried in a private ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.

She was praised by several former presidents. Jimmy Carter called her a “beacon of justice”; George W Bush said she had "inspired more than one generation of women and girls"; Barack Obama called her a “relentless litigator and an incisive jurist”.

“Justice Ginsburg helped us see that discrimination on the basis of sex isn’t about an abstract ideal of equality; that it doesn’t only harm women; that it has real consequences for all of us,” Mr Obama said in a statement.

But as the epitaphs were being emailed to journalists, US politicians quickly became embroiled in a debate over who would fill the court's empty seat – a job-for-life on a powerful body that both main parties seek to stack with political bedfellows.

Mr Trump, who seeks re-election on November 3, has already appointed two conservatives to the court. Supreme Court placements require confirmation by the Senate, where Mr Trump’s fellow Republicans have 53 of the chamber’s 100 seats.

There has been bad blood between the main parties over appointments since 2016, when the Republican-held Senate blocked Democratic President Barack Obama’s nomination of a moderate court judge in an election year.

Mr Trump’s Democratic challenger, Joe Biden, said that Ginsburg should not be replaced until after the coming election, telling reporters: “The voters should pick the president and the president should pick the justice for the Senate to consider.”

Prior to her death, Ginsburg even weighed in on her own succession. According to a National Public Radio report, she wrote in a statement to her granddaughter: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”

Haircare resolutions 2021

From Beirut and Amman to London and now Dubai, hairstylist George Massoud has seen the same mistakes made by customers all over the world. In the chair or at-home hair care, here are the resolutions he wishes his customers would make for the year ahead.

1. 'I will seek consultation from professionals'

You may know what you want, but are you sure it’s going to suit you? Haircare professionals can tell you what will work best with your skin tone, hair texture and lifestyle.

2. 'I will tell my hairdresser when I’m not happy'

Massoud says it’s better to offer constructive criticism to work on in the future. Your hairdresser will learn, and you may discover how to communicate exactly what you want more effectively the next time.

3. ‘I will treat my hair better out of the chair’

Damage control is a big part of most hairstylists’ work right now, but it can be avoided. Steer clear of over-colouring at home, try and pursue one hair brand at a time and never, ever use a straightener on still drying hair, pleads Massoud.

Important questions to consider

1. Where on the plane does my pet travel?

There are different types of travel available for pets:

  • Manifest cargo
  • Excess luggage in the hold
  • Excess luggage in the cabin

Each option is safe. The feasibility of each option is based on the size and breed of your pet, the airline they are traveling on and country they are travelling to.

 

2. What is the difference between my pet traveling as manifest cargo or as excess luggage?

If traveling as manifest cargo, your pet is traveling in the front hold of the plane and can travel with or without you being on the same plane. The cost of your pets travel is based on volumetric weight, in other words, the size of their travel crate.

If traveling as excess luggage, your pet will be in the rear hold of the plane and must be traveling under the ticket of a human passenger. The cost of your pets travel is based on the actual (combined) weight of your pet in their crate.

 

3. What happens when my pet arrives in the country they are traveling to?

As soon as the flight arrives, your pet will be taken from the plane straight to the airport terminal.

If your pet is traveling as excess luggage, they will taken to the oversized luggage area in the arrival hall. Once you clear passport control, you will be able to collect them at the same time as your normal luggage. As you exit the airport via the ‘something to declare’ customs channel you will be asked to present your pets travel paperwork to the customs official and / or the vet on duty. 

If your pet is traveling as manifest cargo, they will be taken to the Animal Reception Centre. There, their documentation will be reviewed by the staff of the ARC to ensure all is in order. At the same time, relevant customs formalities will be completed by staff based at the arriving airport. 

 

4. How long does the travel paperwork and other travel preparations take?

This depends entirely on the location that your pet is traveling to. Your pet relocation compnay will provide you with an accurate timeline of how long the relevant preparations will take and at what point in the process the various steps must be taken.

In some cases they can get your pet ‘travel ready’ in a few days. In others it can be up to six months or more.

 

5. What vaccinations does my pet need to travel?

Regardless of where your pet is traveling, they will need certain vaccinations. The exact vaccinations they need are entirely dependent on the location they are traveling to. The one vaccination that is mandatory for every country your pet may travel to is a rabies vaccination.

Other vaccinations may also be necessary. These will be advised to you as relevant. In every situation, it is essential to keep your vaccinations current and to not miss a due date, even by one day. To do so could severely hinder your pets travel plans.
