After nearly twenty years after the Supreme court case United States v. Virginia,  Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg visits VMI to discuss the case. Her argument began with the fact that the service academies, as government institutions, were forced to accept women almost twenty years before VMI, and that the reaction over time was not what everyone thought it was going to be: the academies were still alive and well. She also noted the case, Mississippi University for Women v. Hogan, in which a man wanted to apply for the all female institution because it was the best school for nursing in his area. The verdict was that no public institution is allowed to accept only one sex. When United States v. Virginia came to the Supreme court, these past occurrences were sufficient in making VMI accept women, as it is also a public institution. Ginsburg uses this evidence to develop her one-sided argument. This type of argument is evident because even though she addresses Scalia’s argument, she merely used his first sentence in his dissent argument, “VMI is dead,” instead of going into more depth of his argument.
