This morning, Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams kicked off Ruth Bader Ginsburg's 86th birthday with a damn fine proposal (which we first heard about last September): renaming the Brooklyn Municipal Building on Joralemon Street after the Associate Supreme Court Justice and native New Yorker.

Why this building? "It is one of the most prominent buildings in Downtown Brooklyn and one that will soon house Housing Court so given its future legal use we thought it would be appropriate," a rep for Adams told Gothamist.

Following today's Rally For Ruth, Adams told us, "Justice Ginsburg is a daughter of Brooklyn... What better way to honor a monumental legal legend than with a monument of her own and what better birthday gift can we give her than a Building!" Hear hear... and can we get a statue with that?

As for what happens next, a rep for Adams told us, "Our understanding is that Mayor de Blasio needs to sign off akin to the action that he took to rename the Manhattan Municipal Building after former Mayor David Dinkins."

RBG knows about the proposal, and her office released a statement earlier this week saying that she "is honored that her name was put forward" as a name for the building.

On Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s 86th birthday, I joined @BPEricAdams to renew our call for NYC to honor her trailblazing work by naming the Brooklyn Muni Building after Brooklyn-born #RBG!

Late last year, RBG spoke at the Museum of the City of New York, where she discussed growing up in Brooklyn (and much more). You can watch that here.

Happy Birthday RBG, and many many many many many more (please).
