Today, SCOTUS Chief Justice John Roberts said the words that best describe the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg are “tough, brave, a fighter, a winner” but also "thoughtful, careful, compassionate (and) honest.”
Roberts spoke Wednesday during a private ceremony in the Great Hall of the Supreme Court.
