On August 3, 1993 Ruth Bader Ginsberg was approved by a vote of 96-3 to serve as the second female Supreme Court Justice, and the first Jewish woman to serve on the court.
The timing is appropriate, since Judge Sotomayor (who would be the third female justice on the court) is set to be voted on by the Senate as soon as this week.
