U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut said about Justice Ginsburg - "She will always be an American icon, breaking barriers from the courtroom and the classroom to every place in America and leaving her mark on immigration, gun violence prevention, gender equality, civil rights and civil liberties," Blumenthal added - "I will always remember the incisive, strong questions she asked when I was arguing before her, but also the compassion and caring that she demonstrated."
Blumenthal, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee says the American people should have a voice in the selection of the next Supreme Court Justice.
