In a Dissenting Voice: Justice Ginsburg's FederalismRussell MillerWashington and Lee University - School of Law January 10, 2012 New England Law Review, Vol. 43, p. 771, 2009 Washington & Lee Legal Studies Paper No. 2011-36 Abstract: This article argues that Justice Ginsburg has strongly advocated for state autonomy during her tenure on the Supreme Court. This conclusion results from a careful examination of Justice Ginsburg's dissents in cases involving federalism issues. Justice Ginsburg's nuanced, pro-states approach has two central characteristics. First, she defends states' governing autonomy and shows respect for the state agents that realize that autonomy. Second, she advocates judicial restraint in reviewing federalism issues, crediting the states as intersubjective actors engaged in the pursuit of their interests through political processes.
