U.S. Representative Chuck Fleischmann (R-TN-03) released the following statement on the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg:
"Brenda and I extend our prayers and deepest condolences to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's family and loved ones. She was a model for civility in a world filled with divisiveness, seeing beyond politics in her friendships with others on the Supreme Court. While we did not agree on judicial philosophy and I did not agree with her judicial decisions, her role on the court was historic."
