More than two decades after her majority decision opened the all-male bastion of the Virginia Military Institute to women, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Wednesday told a packed hall of the school’s cadets that she knew her ruling “would make VMI a better place.”
Ginsburg’s visit came less than 24 hours after President Donald Trump named Judge Neil Gorsuch of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit to fill the vacancy created by the death of Ginsburg’s close friend, Justice Antonin Scalia.
