R.I.P. RBG

[lbpesq]

What can I say.  We’re f**ked.  An amazing and brilliant advocate for women’s and human rights.  This is so depressing.

And our children and grandchildren, as well.

This is so bad, on so many levels.

She was certainly the best advocate on the court for women's and human rights. I have been feeling ill since hearing the news earlier.

R.I.P Justice Ginsburg

A true champion of the rights of women, people from diverse backgrounds, and other groups whose rights have been trampled on by the system. In RBGs memory, people need to ensure a fair and bipartisan process of selecting her replacement.

As an attorney, she one of my greatest heroes. And I loved that she put the law above all. She was never petty.

Her friendship with Antonin Scalia was a fascinating study on how people with strongly held diverse views can still get along.  They could not have been further apart on the political spectrum, yet they thoroughly enjoyed each other’s company.   How did they do it?  First, they treated each other with respect, in a professional manner, and with civility.  No name calling.  I’ve missed that.

The NOTORIOUS RBG.

Rock star status no denying.   I was pleasantly surprised to see my niece posting a lot about RBG.   She has paved a path of high standardS and her title of Justice is very deserved, if the youth of this country are paying attention Then there is hope for us.

As they said about Brenda Lee, I'd say it applies to Justice Ginsberg as well:
