Ruth Bader Ginsburg's husband died today

WASHINGTON – Martin Ginsburg, the husband of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and a prominent lawyer in his own right, died Sunday from complications of metastatic cancer. He was 78.

The Supreme Court said in a statement that Ginsburg died at home.

The Ginsburgs celebrated their 56th wedding anniversary last week. They met on a blind date as undergraduates at Cornell University.

Martin Ginsburg was an expert in tax law and taught at New York University, Columbia University and Georgetown University over the course of his career.

7. I thought of that too. Many spouses die very shortly

after they lose their mate even when their health is not overtly compromised. Her intellectual engagement may over-ride that though.

8. Condolences to Justice Ginsburg

on the loss of her husband.

She's a real fighter. Has been fighting pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest cancers for quite awhile now.
