She graduated first in her class at Columbia U. Law School and couldn't get a job at a NYC law firm because she was a woman. She argued six landmark gender discrimination cases before the SCOTUS and won five of them. So, yes, she is a progressive icon, whatever any Canadian woman thinks.

as a canadian i'm confused as to why she's considered a progressive hero. she was one of the most progressive scotus justices but that isn't saying much.

of course we care about the brutal violence and suffering that this has enabled, but in the end i truly do not care what canadians like you think. because this stuff is being done to us, you can judge in like a 'haha americans' but this stuff is being done to us. you are mildly immune... we are captive and not doing well. give us a break. and shut the fuck up

The public has a right to know what justices think. And they have a right to express themselves. Annoying paternalism from Katie Couric.
