Yes, it’s a tragedy. What a loss. RIP.
The balance of the US Supreme Court is now leaning decidedly to the right.
Let’s hope the new appointee to the court, is indeed in the purview of a new President after November.

There’s a great film on Amazon Prime about Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s struggle and her successes, called ‘On the Basis of Sex’. It’s well worth watching.

Dying on Rosh Hashanah is so fitting.

RIP a fine fine woman. I’ll say no more at the moment as she deserves a brief period of respectful silence and thought

Interesting piece from the statement and one important to us now.

“ A basic principle of the law — and of everyday fairness — is that we apply rules with consistency, and not based on what’s convenient or advantageous in the moment. The rule of law, the legitimacy of our courts, the fundamental workings of our democracy all depend on that basic principle.”

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought to the end, through her cancer, with unwavering faith in our democracy and its ideals. That’s how we remember her. But she also left instructions for how she wanted her legacy to be honored. My statement:
