I don’t remember where I was when my dad nominated Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the Supreme Court, but I do remember how I felt: very excited and a little surprised.
This was 1993. I was thirteen years old. In elementary school, I had learned about Sandra Day O’Connor, who had been confirmed twelve years earlier as the first woman justice of the Supreme Court. But until Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I didn’t realize so many years had passed without there being a second.
I was like this as a kid. I believed the world was fairer than it was. Which is why I admired Justice Ginsburg so much: She was the rare adult who made our country live up to a child’s inherent sense of fairness.
Justice Ginsburg served on the court for 27 years. She wrote 483 opinions, many of which were intent on making every American who felt excluded—women in particular—belong.(snip)
Because of her work, not only as a Justice but also as a lawyer, you cannot be fired for being pregnant, or denied a credit card or a spot in a public university because of your sex, or rejected for a marriage license because of who you love. She was a 5’1 legal giant. Who could possibly replace her?
One of the final cases Justice Ginsburg heard was about birth control. The Trump Administration had a new regulation that would roll back coverage for contraception—it was a bad rule, which Justice Ginsburg argued against. But she lost, and countless women lost with her. The president got what he wanted.
If President Trump succeeds in placing Amy Coney Barrett as Justice Ginsburg’s successor, I expect that he will get even more of what he wants—with disastrous consequences for the country.

Chelsea, ACB is a better woman than RGB was, and will be a far better follower of the Constitution than RGB was.
It’s not RGB’s seat. She didn’t own it.
So stick your childish commentary in a pipe and smoke it.
Chelsea and her parents deserve prison time.
All I can say is she’s damn lucky her mama didn’t snuff her ugly a$$ out.
Not ever was Ginsburg’s seat.....the seat belongs to the people of the U.S.A.
I’m sure Bubba has plenty of spawn walking the Earth but she ain’t one of them.
RBG’s seat? Like, she owned it or something?
Ruth who??...sorry but we have moved on....you should too...
...Buzzie Ginsburg is still dead."
RBG filled Byron White’s seat. He was one of the two justices to vote against Roe vs Wade.
If you don't vote democrat, you ain't black.
Now, if you don't oppose Trump, you ain't a woman.
Hear that, ladies?
Thanks for your opinion Hody Doody and BTW who cares what you think?
She has all the writing skills of a middle-schooler.
She’s a very unattractive woman. I’m surprised she hasn’t transitioned and become Charlie Hubbell.
Chelsea doesn’t believe that the seat belongs to the American people.
“””or rejected for a marriage license because of who you love””
I guess Webbs daughter forgot that her parents signed the Defense of Marriage Act.
The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was a United States federal law passed by the 104th United States Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton. It defined marriage for federal purposes as the union of one man and one woman, and allowed states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages granted under the laws of other states.
Let the little wig flap her gums...
Was Ugly Chelsea swinging her upside down cross while printing this bullcrap?
“I don’t remember where I was when my dad nominated Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the Supreme Court,“
That’s because your Dad didn’t, Bill Clinton did.
