The sudden death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg left the nation in mourning Saturday, as tributes came in from across the country. Ginsburg, 87, died Friday from complications of metastatic pancreas cancer, according to a court spokeswoman. President Bill Clinton nominated Ginsburg to the high court in 1993, making her the second female justice in the nation's history. Ginsburg became a cultural icon of sorts during her career, appearing on T-shirts, in a Lego set, and was portrayed in shows such as "Saturday Night Live."
