    No matter what side you’re on, you can’t deny her impact for women in this country and that this is a loss for the country.

    And for men too. In the early 1970s my dad’s cousin’s wife died in childbirth. She was a teacher and he was an artist. So she had a pension. At the time a widow could collect their husband’s pension but not the other way around. My dad’s cousin (my second cousin?) wanted to be a stay at home dad to the baby and Ruth Bader Ginsburg took his case to the Supreme Court and won and changed the law. Many years later when that baby (my third cousin?) got married RBG was already on the Supreme Court but kept in touch with the family all those years and officiated his wedding.

    Fuuuuck.  Guarantee Mitch will fast track another one through because they are all hypocrites to the worst degree, and there are basically no rules any more.  This really sucks.  RIP RBG

    anyone think that trump will (be forced to) nominate (by his much smarter team) someone in the middle or slightly left to try to snag up some of the undecided vote?

    He will wait until the election to entice moderates and independents to vote for him but by the end of Nov will nominate a new judge if he loses to Biden.
