Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Champion Of Gender Equality, Dies At 87

[AKing]

Source: NPR.org

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the demure firebrand who in her 80s became a legal, cultural, and feminist icon has died. The Supreme Court announced her death, saying the cause was complications from cancer.

Architect of the legal fight for women's rights in the 1970s, Ginsburg subsequently served 27 years on the nation's highest court, becoming its most prominent member. Her death will inevitably set in motion what promises to be a nasty and tumultuous political battle over who will succeed her, and it thrusts the Supreme Court vacancy into the spotlight of the presidential campaign.

1. OH NO.

[lastlib]

118. WE. ARE. SO. SCREWED!

Shitgibbon won't wait for her seat to cool to trot out another Beer-Boy Kavanaughty clone to fill it. And MoscowMitch will shove it through with all the speed he denied Merrick Garland before the American people have spoken.

RIP, RBG--cross gently. We earnestly await your next dissenting opinion from the HIGH bench.

=================================
Is there ANY way to stop these futhermuckers??

[AZ8theist]

124. We are fucked on so many levels it's hard to comprehend....

RIP, RBG.....rip.....
Thank you for everything. I'm happy you won't be around to see the destruction of the democracy you so loved and cherished.

[beaglelover]

2. RIP Ruth!

[hkp11]

3. RIP RBG

tremendous loss

[softydog88]

4. We are truly fucked now.

[Woodycall]

100. No

Joe Biden will make it clear that he WILL expand the court if Nazi Mitch McConnell tries to push through a nomination before the election OR the inauguration. HE MUST!

[Dios Mio]

109. Yes we are.

[Woodycall]

152. Then go and hide somewhere

I'll stay and fight...

[List left]

161. This... Her determination and grit should be an inspiration for us all! nt

5. Oh my!

6. No more justices

Until after the election. Nice avatar. RIP justice g

[kansasobama]

7. Damn it

There goes ACA and Choice

[Laura PourMeADrink]

67. Not if Biden wins? Surely they couldn't possibly ramrod a judge

Thru now? Although it will energize the wingnuts huh

[leftieNanner]

79. Are you kidding???

Mitch will have the next Justice teed up on Monday morning!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

151. No, but thanks for the charm. Since I wrote, it's not just holding off

Til Nov. It's holding off until Jan 20 or whenever inauguration is.

Time for true out of the box thinking and acting. If Trump was in this situation, hell, he'd have it somehow tied up in court. Course we have Barr headwinds too.

Trump submitted 21 names to Mitch last month.

[leftieNanner]

165. This will all be very tricky

Let's hope the Dems have lots of maneuvering ideas to slow this down as much as possible.

This is all just too much to bear. Trump, Covid, the Economy, Fires, (we just found out our up hill neighbor's sewer line runs under our house and is possibly failing), and RBG.

Good grief!

[SergeStorms]

93. Who's going to stop them?

With Moscow Mitch riding herd in the Senate they'll do anything they damned well please. The Supreme Court is now hopelessly fucked.

[SayItLoud]

106. I'm afraid those who are anti abortion but were

going to vote for Joe will now swing back to tRUMP just to get a judge. Evangelicals, indies and rePUKES .

[yuiyoshida]

126. Watch them pick a q'Anon asshole to fill the spot

No one will ever trust the Supreme court again

[whopis01]

148. Of course they will. They will be ecstatic about this. n/t

[barbtries]

8. she's earned her peace,

but omigawd that news struck a blow to my heart.

[BrightKnight]

73. She will be missed. nt

[irisblue]

9. 🕯️

[George II]

10. How sad. She was spunky to the end. The country is going to miss her dearly.

[babylonsister]

11. Tragic. RIP and thanks, Judge Ginsberg.

Now, Dems, DO NOT LET THEM PICK ANOTHER SCJ!! Per Joy Reid, can't nominate a judge during an election? I hope, not that they follow rules.

[Rebl2]

41. They won't

RIP RBG 😢😢😢

[trc]

72. the rethugs will have a nominee by monday

and a confirmation hearing by the end of the month and a new justice by the end of october. Joe will need to pack the court with 2 new justices once he is inaugurated.

[COL Mustard]

82. Cruz or Cotton?

God, I hope not.

[trc]

104. I would guess neither of those

Mcconnell will already have a name of some really rightwing nut job he will tell fuckstick 45 to nominate. If he gets it done before the election he will claim that it was legit because fuckstick 45 had not yet been defeated and so still had a 2nd term due.

[Hamlette]

147. crazy ass Mike Lee.

[quakerboy]

128. If they ram someone in

why do you think that joe will be inagurated?

The court gave Bush the presidency in spite of the votes. With a 6-3 majority, why do you think they would hesitate even an instant in declaring trump the winner, regardless of any voting?

[COL Mustard]

137. If You Were On The Fence About Voting.......

I hope this drives home the fact that election have consequences. We all have to vote, because I guarantee that the Evangelicals will be energized to get another RW justice. And, especially in this election, a vote for anyone other than Biden is a vote for Trump.

I hate to sound melodramatic, but our country is really on the line this time.

[AlexSFCA]

156. absolutely, the court may step in to stop mail in ballot counting

it’s quite possible that trump mayy win on election night with millions of mail-in ballots yet to be counted which can take many weeks. Throughout all those weeks trump will claiming he won along with his senators

[jb5150]

12. Oh My God .....

Oh MY Fucking God!

15. She lived her life to the fullest. What a great role model she was.

[gristy]

16. OMG

We must prevail. For ourselves, for our democracy, and now for Justice Ginsburg. May she rest in peace.

[bluestarone]

17. WOW

[beachbumbob]

26. We are so screwed

[callous taoboy]

28. RIP RBG

[gademocrat7]

29. R.I.P. Justice Ginsburg

A true legend.

[rickyhall]

30. The fucking turtle will have a new justice in there tomorrow.

The wrong people are dying. RIP RBG

[bucolic_frolic]

88. This may shake up Turtle's race as his hypocrisy moves to the front

I'm not sure Republicans want the Supreme Court front and center right now

[BrightKnight]

94. I don't think that he can get anything through the House. nt

[SeattleVet]

107. The House has nothing to do with it.

tRump nominates someone and the Senate confirms.

Unless several GOPper senators hold firm against it they can push it through. It will probably cause major political and societal damage, but they can do it, and I definitely wouldn't put it past them.

[whopis01]

155. You are correct.

But it is only the Senate who has to confirm Supreme Court Justices.

[Kahuna]

112. Tom Cotton, FCOL...but first...

R.I.P. Justice Ginsberg. Well done.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

131. "The wrong people are dying."

Truer words...

[Red Mountain]

31. Much respect to her

She did all that she could.

No attempt to nominate a successor will be tolerated.....as per McConnell's precedent.

That choice is up to the American people.

[DippyDem]

32. Now I am really sad and scared!

[Bayard]

33. Shit! Shit, Shit, SHIT!!

I kept saying she was hanging in there to piss off trump, but I guess she couldn't wait any longer.

What a great woman! A great intellect, hero, and role model. 2020, indeed sucketh.

trump does NOT get to appoint someone. McConnell set the precedent, and now he has to live with it.

and

[Beacool]

34. This year can't get any worse.

RBG was a great woman, she will be sorely missed. May she rest in peace.

[Marthe48]

35. She tried so hard

She is a champion, no matter what side of the transition she is on.

I feel terrible hearing this news.

R.I.P. Justice Bader. Thank you. I love you.

[packman]

36. She held on hoping to make her passing counted

in the nomination of the next Supreme.

Good and gentle passing - a soul missed

[FailureToCommunicate]

37. Rest In Peace Justice Ginsburg.

Go to hell Trump, Barr, and the rest of your cabal, if you think we're going to let you exploit this turn of events.

[Tommymac]

91. +1 Doomsayers be damned.

We shall overcome.

Biden will have his first Justice.

If McConnell tries to ram a Trump choice through he will fail. Simple as that. Too many on The Hill will be against it.

[FailureToCommunicate]

101. I hope to God you are correct.

[BigDemVoter]

38. WE are so FUCKED.

She was one of a kind. Oh what terrible news.

[Desert_Leslie]

39. Rest in Power ...

... beautiful soul.

THANK YOU for all you have done for us all.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

53. +1

[volstork]

40. This is the worst possible news.

[Totally Tunsie]

42. God speed, Justice Ginsburg.

You did your best for us here on Earth. Please watch over us from Heaven. We still need you.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

48. Amen. No human should have to suffer as she did. My true hero!

[Habibi]

80. One of the most heroic people I've ever known of.

May she rest, finally, in peace.










Also, goddammit.

[salin]

83. +100!

[Politicub]

43. Oh my god. I'm shaking.

[Mickju]

44. How horrible!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

45. Omg..bet she pushed as hard as any human to stay alive until Nov. May she RIP nt

[hamsterjill]

46. Strength. Courage. Honor. Dignity.

She tried so hard to hang on. She is my hero.

No words..,

[Happy Hoosier]

47. A true American hero.

Now we’re fucked!

[grantcart]

50. A 95 pound giant

[Upthevibe]

51. I am literally having chest pains....

I just took a Xanax....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Hip2bSquare]

52. Heartbreaking

Such sad news...she was a warrior in every way. May she finally rest now. We must continue her fight and have faith.

Whatever happens...we won't let them win! The Notorious RBG demands it!

[Warpy]

54. FUCK 2020

Democrats need to use every procedural trick in the book to block Dumdum's nominee. They need to use dirty tricks that even McConnell didn't think of. They need to stonewall and it that doesn't work, walk out and go into hiding. I don't care what they do, as long as they stop the process cvompletely,.

RIP, Justice Ginsburg, and thank you so much for your wonderful years on the bench. You have earned both our gratitude and a long rest.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

130. Yes.

Fight fire with whatever it takes.

[cp]

55. Our hero!

Rest in peace, dear soul. Thank you for your brilliant work.

[trof]

56. fuck

[pat_k]

57. I feel sick

A terrible loss for her friends and family.

And the consequences for the nation are horrific.

We were already looking at decades to repair the judicial branch.

I want to cry.

[rockfordfile]

58. 87

[Laura PourMeADrink]

59. The stakes in Nov just got multiplied times a million.

[ramapo]

81. Republicans will push thru a replacement

It’ll be a war. Fuck

[dameatball]

60. How much more? She was fearless. So shall we be. Pause then begin anew.

[Withywindle]

61. I'm just sick at heart.

She tried so hard to hang on. A fighter til the very end.

But she shouldn't have had to. So much depended on her.


Fuck. I'm crying. For her and for our country.

[Maxheader]

62. RIP Ruth...

You did well while on this planet...real well...

[Highway61]

63. Oh No!!!!!!

Safe passage to this true hero

[angrychair]

64. Fuck

[Nazipuncher]

65. I'm crying for her family and our country.

I'm so tired of all of this. I'm 53 and have been politically active since my teen years. I feel hollow.

[cab67]

66. For what it's worth-

when asked a year or so ago about a vacancy in this election year, Grassley indicated he wouldn't hold hearings. We'll see.

[bucolic_frolic]

68. No Supreme Court Justices in a Presidential Election Year, right?

RBG, we love ya. America is being tested but you have shown us the way. RIP.

[Ferrets are Cool]

69. This makes me so farking sad.

[Fiendish Thingy]

70. RIP- Biden must expand SCOTUS to 15 seats nt

[Rebl2]

71. I think

trump knew this was coming because he came out with a list of people he might nominate for Supreme Court just last week.

[mtngirl47]

74. It's one of those times when you know you should be thinking

about her and celebrating her life....but right now I can only think of me, us, our country.

We are truly fucked.

[COL Mustard]

75. RIP RBG

[SergeStorms]

76. Oh no.

Rest in blissful peace. I wish you could have hung on four more months.

[Iggo]

77. A great woman. A great American. A great human being.

[salin]

78. I am crying. Sending deep condolences to her family, friends, colleagues and the whole country.

I hate that we don't just have the space to grieve, but that a sense of dread of what the Deplorable in Chief will do.

May he choke on bile for each and every nasty comment he utters and tweets about Justice Ginsburg and her passing.

[kacekwl]

84. Another Giant lost. RIP RBG Rest peacefully you deserve it.

[Hiawatha Pete]

85. This is terrible news. Rest in power RBG

I don't know much about the process of selecting her replacement, but hopefully Democrats will somehow be able to 'hold the line' until a worthy replacement can be found and hopefully prevent the rethugs from stacking the courts even further....

From north of the border, my condolences, and in spite of your loss, best wishes & best of luck to you all going forward.

RIP, Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsberg

[blueseas]

86. Oh you will be missed

Rest In Peace.

[lonely bird]

87. And the prick McConnell with rush a fascist through

FUCK.

[rdking647]

95. if he does biden needs to expand the court by 3

[IngridsLittleAngel]

89. Rest in peace, RGB... Thank you so much for putting up the good fight.

And god help us all.

[BusyBeingBest]

90. Oh, how sad. She hung on as long as she could.

RIP.

[mcar]

92. Fck, fck, fck, fck, fck

Blessings on her for holding out so long. A great American.

[Calista241]

96. 2020 sucks.

I hope Mitch McConnell falls while he's dancing his jig tonight.

[sarge43]

97. Lady Liberty weeps tonight.

A champion of human and civil rights has left us and we are the poorer for it.

Rest in light, Justice Ginsburg. Thank you.

[SammyBrown]

98. Very Sad news

Rest In Peace

[Initech]

99. I am sick right now. RIP.

[TygrBright]

102. We. Are. Fucked. n/t

[NoMoreRepugs]

103. Notorious RBG - there will NEVER be another like her.

[Tommymac]

105. Godspeed Justice Ginsburg

Your courage and service to humanity will not be soon forgotten.

We The People will see this through. No doom and gloom here, we owe her that.

We will now have an eve greater tenaciousness to fight back with everything we have against the evil Killer Clown and his minions.

Just try it Turtlehead.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

108. The nominee will be announced by Monday. The hearings will take place by early October.

The nominee will be confirmed and sworn in well before election day.

It doesn't matter who wins on November 3. There will be no vacancy on the Supreme Court by then.

[TeamPooka]

110. Get ready for Tom fucking cotton

[Le Roi de Pot]

111. Oh No!

[Galraedia]

113. "The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice...

Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.”

--Mitch McConnell, February 2016 (within an hour of Justice Scalia's death)

[Tommymac]

114. Godspeed Justice Ginsburg. We have lost a National Treasure.

You were an inspiration to all humanity.

Now let's put aside the doom and gloom and go out and continue her work. Trump be damned.

We Shall Overcome.

[Liberty Belle]

115. Mobilze - We need national protest as with BLM - they blocked OBama's last nominee,

Make them afraid of consequences if they do this. Make it the talk daily on every national news outlet how they refused to allow an Obama nominee in his last year, and they are hypocrites if they ram through a replacement for RBG.

Part 2 of the message is wait until after the election and let the winner choose this critical nominee.

They will probably do it anyway but at least it should be at the expense of going against millions and millions of Americans taking to the streets.

[fwvinson]

116. TIME TO RIOT DEMS.

If Moscow Mitch tries to replace RBG now, he needs to be delt with violently!

[COL Mustard]

145. Don't Riot......

Vote! Mobilize your friends and vote.

[turbinetree]

117. Call me extremely worried but the New Deal programs will now come under further assault........

with her death................

[AngryOldDem]

119. I am devastated.

Heartbroken. Gutted.



Coming to the conclusion that life is indeed not fair.

This hurts.

[rdking647]

120. murkowski of alaska

just seen on twitter


NEW: Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) announces she will NOT vote to replace RBG on SCOTUS until after Election Day. "Fair is fair," she says.

[connecticut yankee]

134. God Bless you, Lisa.

I hope enough of your fellow Repubs feel the same.

[MoonchildCA]

158. Bless her, but I'd prefer she said Inauguration Day.

[EllieBC]

121. Baruch Dayan HaEmet. She was truly a tzadeket.

May her memory be a blessing.

[Mick Travis]

122. Horrible news!

As if 2020 couldn't get any worse. I loved her, and we KNOW Moscow Mitch is ready to push through some right-wing assclown ASAP. We all know how she tried to hang on until after the election.

RIP

[raccoon]

123. Damn. Why Don't those on the Darkside ever die? NT

[AngryOldDem]

135. Like cockroaches.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

125. WOW

I miss her already


they better not even try to confirm anyone.....you fffffferrs

[pandr32]

127. Oh no! I just saw a media banner with the news.

We lost a legend. Hopefully she will be properly honored. Her loss is a devastating one--she fought so hard to survive Trump. The sick bastard is probably thrilled.
RIP RBG

[Aviation Pro]

129. Calm down

Right now, Chuck Schumer is talking to Turtle McFuckstickTurtleFace and telling him, "You push through a nominee, we pack the court after President Biden and a bulletproof Senate is sworn in. Take that to the bank, motherfucker."

Rest in Peace, you giant of an American woman.

[Sapient Donkey]

141. Even if so, could Trump use that a carrot to convince disillusioned conservatives to vote for him?

"Vote for me and you'll another conservative justice"

[Aviation Pro]

146. Shitbag has tapped out on any more voters

He is stuck with his moron base.

[JohnnyRingo]

132. Supreme Court Justice Tucker Carlson.

He'll be in before the funeral.

[Sapient Donkey]

133. Even if everyone decides to wait until after the election, this could be used by Trump

to try to bring disillusioned conservatives vote for him in order to ensure a conservative justice is selected. That might be a convincing enough carrots for some conservative to swallow their disgust for Trump. Is this a valid concern?

[BlancheSplanchnik]

Now our hearts will truly be broken.

She held on so long for us....

[lordsummerisle]

142. This sucks

RIP

[MarcA]

143. Again, the USSC has No Enforcement authority.

If the hypocritical rethugs ram through another Justice, Biden and the new Congress should just
Refuse to enforce their decisions. Actually, the force of the USSC is Long Overdue for a rollback.
President and Congress can simply refuse to enforce their decisions. It will be legal and there is nothing they can do about it.

[SCantiGOP]

169. What?

You are advocating the destruction of the Constitution. Why not just go all out for autocracy?

FUCK 2020!

Not the way to start our New Year.

[ancianita]

154. The irreplaceable one. The very best of America. May America live up to her legacy.

But first...

[EndlessWire]

157. Shocking news...

Condolences to everybody! She was very beloved, and deserves to lie in State.

You just knew this was going to happen. Why else rush a list of nominees? But, we are not doomed. Don't let this pull you off center. Our job and duty is to vote the Orange Monster et al out of office!

What terrible news on this first day of voting! But, we can't give up! We have lost an icon, but "Let's punish the Repubs!"

I can go 33 hours without sleep. Every blasted time I sleep and wake up, something horrendous has happened. Sh*t, this sucks...

[BainsBane]

159. It's going to be very hard to stop Trump

from getting another appointment. Moscow Mitch will get it right through. We are well and truly fucked. Thanks to the Never Hillary assholes who insisted the Supreme Court didn't matter. Of course, it didn't matter to them due to their privilege, and god forbid they think about anyone but themselves.

[pazzyanne]

160. I am in tears!

Rest peacefully, RBG. You were a shining light on the Supreme Court and your fighting spirit did much for our nation and it's citizens. You will be missed.
