Thought For The Night

A Sad And Dark Day For America

September 18, 2020

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, one of the greatest Supreme Court justices in this nation’s history, has left us after finally succumbing to pancreatic cancer. Ginsburg was only the second female justice appointed to the Court and the first Jewish woman to serve. She was one of the most accomplished and capable candidates for the Court and a life-long tireless champion for the rights of the underdog and for the Constitution of the United States. And a champion, period.

Ginsburg’s accomplishments around civil liberties, minority rights and women’s rights prior to earning her seat on the highest court are too many to mention, and well known to many. Her work on the Supreme Court was incomparable.

No one on either side of the philosophical divide can fill the discarded shoes of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

May she rest in peace and power.
