🏛 Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s time on the Court was often characterized as a pitched battle between the principles of equality and individual liberty. Conservative majorities have tended to elevate individual autonomy rights over equal treatment and equal opportunity in our politics, our workplaces, and our schools. The liberal bloc, by contrast, has tended to oppose this subversion of equality to liberty, and pushed to recuperate equality as the primary value guiding constitutional law.
露絲貝德金斯伯格擔任美國大法官期間，平等原則和個人自由的硝煙四起瀰漫不絕。佔多數的保守派陣營往往著重個人自主權利繼而忽略政治、工作及教育場域中的平等待遇和平等機會。反之，自由派陣營則反對保守派意欲讓平等凌駕於自由之上的作風，一直以來努力不懈的希望讓平等原則再次成為憲法的主導價值。
🎭 Justice Ginsburg was in a camp of her own. She long grasped that these two great principles of American democracy are not at odds, but rather integral to each other. She recognized that equal opportunity is vital to self-determination, and that personal liberty is secure only insofar as society respects each of us as equals. In short, she did not fall victim to the false dichotomy of equality and liberty, but worked to advance equal liberty under law.
大法官金斯伯格卻獨樹一幟、自成一派。他確信這兩條深植於美國民主的偉大原則並不相悖，甚至缺一不可。金斯伯格認識到平等機會對於自我決定至關重要，而個人自由則必須在普羅大眾接受人人平等的大前提下才能獲得保障。簡而言之，他並未被平等及自由的偽二分法所蒙蔽，而是致力於在法制體系內持續推動平等自由。
🗞 In case after case, this Court’s conservative majority bloc has confused its own viewpoint-based objections to equal treatment and nondiscrimination with actual discrimination against conservative viewpoints. As a formidable and indelible civil-rights advocate, Ginsburg knew better.
大法院的多數保守派陣營一直混淆概念，針對平等待遇和反歧視的一些以自己觀點為主的反對意見視為歧視保守觀點的主張。然而金斯伯格作為可敬且不可撼動的民權擁護者，始終能夠擇善固執。
