Ten current and former Supreme Court Justices released statements Friday evening following the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, praising the late justice for her trailblazing life and talking about her role on the court and in their own lives.

Justice Clarence Thomas, an appointee from a Republican president who has served on the court since 1991, referred to Ginsburg as “the essence of grace, civility and dignity,” and a “superb judge who gave her best and exacted the best from each of us, whether in agreement or disagreement. And, as outstanding as she was as a judge, she was an even better colleague – unfailingly gracious, thoughtful, and civil.”
