U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died Friday at the age of 87. This hour, we talk with Vermonters — from sitting senators to past state officials who knew her — to reflect on her judicial legacy and the political ramifications of filling her court seat during the presidential election.
Our guests are:
- Sen. Patrick Leahy, Vermont's senior U.S. senator
- Deb Markowitz, former Vermont Secretary of State and Agency of Natural Resources Secretary who, with Ginsburg's help, wrote In Pursuit of Equality: One Woman's Work to Change the Law, an overview of Ginsburg's strategy as a litigator to outlaw sex discrimination, published in the Rutgers Women’s Rights Law Reporter journal in 1989
- Matthew Dickinson, political science professor at Middlebury College
