ELINOR CARUCCI
“This is my dissenting collar. It’s black and grim.” RBG wrote over a hundred dissenting opinions—opinions that, while carrying no force of law, are filed along with the majority opinion as a record of the court’s thinking. Ginsburg exercised her prerogative to bear witness to injustice from the highest seat in the land, mincing no words in her reproach for the majority. This was the collar she wore to admonish her colleagues, and she wore it to appeal to Congress in her opinion on fair pay—an appeal which yielded the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, the first bill President Obama signed into law.
