Ginsburg was reported to have said, “I am really cheered on by this #MeToo (movement). Because these #MeToo complaints–every woman of my vintage has not just one story, but many stories. But we thought there was nothing you could do it. Boys, will be boys, so just find a way to get out of it. #MeToo was also an example of women coming together in numbers. Women nowadays are not silent about bad behavior.”

Ginsburg was nominated to the Supreme Court by President Bill Clinton in 1993. Clinton was accused by numerous women of rape, adultery, sexual assault and workplace sexual abuse. Clinton was impeached, disbarred and found in contempt of court for perjury and obstruction of justice when he tried to fix a sexual assault in the workplace lawsuit while president.
Georgetown Law live tweeted some of Ginsburg’s comments.
Justice Ginsburg on the new women's movement: "The more women that are out there doing things, the more women will be encouraged. And we will all be better for it. Men, women and children."
(Dean Treanor notes that women make up 59% of the 2018 #GeorgetownLaw entering class!)
