ACLU President, activist honored by Justices

Posted by Staff on June 10, 2008 |

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) held the closing luncheon of its 2008 Membership Conference honoring retiring President, “Our Lady Liberty” Nadine Strossen.

Strossen, a civil rights activist, professor at the New York University of Law, and a powerful attorney in her own right, spoke at the luncheon, as did U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Ginsburg spoke on behalf of the three Justices in attendance at the luncheon, including herself, Justice David Souter, and Justice Antonin Scalia. She commended Strossen on 17 years of success as the head of one of the most influential civil liberties groups in America.

Ginsberg described Strossen as an “ardent advocate of civil liberties” and said that her efforts with the ACLU and as an attorney have been influential in shaping court decisions and the lives of females all across our country for over a decade and a half.
