Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett paid tribute to late Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg during her speech accepting the nomination to fill the vacancy on the nation’s top court.

“Justice Ginsburg began her career at a time when women were not welcome in the legal profession. But she not only broke glass ceilings, she smashed them. For that she has won the admiration of women across the country and indeed, all over the world,” Barrett said during an event at the White House on Saturday, where President Donald Trump announced his nomination.
