and does. Such a positive role model for women of all ages. There was a Kickstarter project that I helped fund this past summer, 'Persistent Sisters'. They have all sorts of RBG merchandise for sale, along with other women leaders in all other areas of expertise. I bought them for my daughter for Christmas, and I know she's going to be excited. She's a huge RBG fan. I also want my 6 year old grand-daughter to get to know women leaders in every field. Hopefully she'll grow up knowing there's nothing a woman can't achieve with hard work and determination. Just like Ruth Bader Ginsburg!

Not that i care about the independence of the court, but the recent additions to the court make it look biased, and that's not what the court is supposed to be. Perhaps Justice & you can convince the newbies partisanship on the court is unacceptable
