I am trying to find a legitimate source that proves Ruth Bader Ginsburg said age of consent should be lowered to 12. I saw a claim it was taken out of context from her book where she sighted law. But I don’t necessarily believe those refutations. Any reliable solid source?

While I was looking around I found an old article from National Review saying the Orrin Hatch recommended both RBG and Breyer for consideration on SC. Isn’t that awesome. He was helping Clinton find judges that could make it through confirmation.

Here's a pretty good source -

1. The age of consent for sexual acts must be lowered to 12 years old.
"Eliminate the phrase 'carnal knowledge of any female, not his wife, who has not attained the age of 16 years' and substitute a federal, sex-neutral definition of the offense. . .
A person is guilty of an offense if he engages in a sexual act with another person, . . . [and] the other person is, in fact, less than 12 years old." (p. 102)
