Tanksley says she's feeling the loss less than a day after Ginsburg's death.
She says, no matter her politics, Ginsburg was and continues to be an inspiration to women in the legal community.
"While I'm not notorious at all, she was definitely notorious," Tanksley says.
She says that even as the country mourns Ginsburg's death, she's still seen as a beacon of hope for equality.
