The show debuted on the Du Mont network in 1947.[4] (http://www.emmytvlegends.org/blog/?p=1047) Early sitcoms featured more character driven story-lines than the variety programs which preceded them.

Examples of 1950's family sitcoms include Ozzy and Harriett and Leave it to Beaver and I Love Lucy. id at 159-161.
I love Lucy, which premiered on October 15, 1951, helped to shape the early development of the sitcom and establish the sitcom as a dominant genre of comedy.[3] https://books.google.com/books?id=kAKPw1POOXsC&pg=PA78&lpg=PA78&dq=innovative+sitcoms&source=bl&ots=VjXvDvX9yA&sig=j5dTX4Wtp60pl2z7e7WEKaOjAEE&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiFlPq0l7TJAhUCbD4KHeuUDLQ4ChDoAQhLMAk#v=onepage&q=innovative%20sitcoms&f=false at 28.

Good source for retirement talk: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/22/opinion/sunday/gail-collins-ruth-bader-ginsburg-has-no-interest-in-retiring.html?_r=0, Good source 2 http://www.cbsnews.com/news/why-justices-ginsburg-and-breyer-should-retire-now/
In 2011, Harbard Law School Professor Randall Kennedy raised the specre of Ginsburg, and fellow Clinton appointee Breyer, retiring while democratic president Barack Obama was still in office. Ginsburg dismissed the talk arguing no justice who could be nominated and confirmed could better champion her causes. See above.
During the President Obama's presidency, some democrats and liberals began to call for Ginsburg to retire.[6][7][8] They argued Ginsburg's voluntary retirement would ensure Present Obama would have the ability to appoint a like minded successor, particularly while the democratic party held control of the Senate.[9] Supporters of this argument pointed to Ginsburg's age and past health issues as factors making her longevity uncertain.[7]
Ginsburg openly rejected these pleas. Ginsburg affirmed her desire to remain a justice as long as she was still mentally sharp enough to perform her duties as a justice.[10] Moreover, Ginsburg argued that the political climate would prevent President Obama from appointing a just like herself.[11]
With the retirement of Justice Stevens, Ginsburg became the senior member of what is sometimes referred to as the Court's "liberal wing."[10][12] When the Court split 5-4 among ideological lines with liberals in the minority, Ginsburg has the authority to assign authorship of the dissenting opinion.[10] Ginsburg has been a proponent of the liberal dissenters speaking "with one voice" and, where practicable, presenting a unified approach to which all of the dissenting justices can agree.[10]
During the last week of the 2013 term, Ginsburg read three dissents from the bench.[12]
For much of her tenure, Ginsburg has found herself part of the Court's ideological minority.

Commerce Clause
[edit]Justice Ginsburg wrote the majority opinion upholding the Affordable Care Act as a permissible use of governmental powers under the Commerce Clause.
Death Penalty
[edit]Ginsburg joined Justice Breyer's dissent in Glossip v. Gross asserting the death penalty should be abolished.[13]
Civil Procedure
[edit]Equal Protection
[edit]Gender Discrimination
[edit]Ginsburg authored the Court's opinion in United States v. Virginia (VMI) which struck down the Virginia Military Institute's male only amdissions policy as violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.[14] http://scholarship.law.berkeley.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1020&context=facpubs VMI was a prestigious state run military institution which did not admit women. Ibid. For Ginsburg, a state actor such as VMI could not use gender to deny women the opportunity to attend VMI with its unique educational methods. Ibid. The opinion is also notable for imposing a heigtened scrutiny on classicifications based on sex.
Ginsburg found herself in dissent on Ledbetter v. Goodyear. Ginsburg called upon Congress to take action. Following the 2008 election, which elected Barack Obama to the presidency and democratic majorities in both houses of Congress, the Ledbetter Act became law. Ginsburg was given credit for helping to inspire the law.http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/07/31/ginsburg-female-justices-no-shrinking-violets-/2606239/
International law
[edit]Ginsburg has expressed the view that looking to international law is well ingrained in tradition in American law, counting John Henry Wigmore and President John Adams as internationalists. Ginsburg's own reliance on international law dates back to her time as an attorney as during her first argument before the court, 1971's Reed v. Reed, she cited to two international cases. In her concurring opinion in Grutter v. Bollinger, a decision upholding Michigan Law School's affirmative action admissions policy, Ginsburg noted there was accord between the notion that affirmative action admissions policies would have an end point and international treaties designed to combat racial and gender based discrimination.[15]

Her nails also garnered attention for their length and designs.[22][23] Her nails were four inches long with tiger stripes at the 1988 Olympic trials before switching the fuschia.[22] For the Olympic games themselves, Griffith Joyner had six inch nails painted red, white, blue, and gold.[23]
