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 Clinton doesn’t deserve anything she has.
Webb Hubble will not be happy with your post...
Just say’n.
Thank You for including the barf alert but IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN CAPITAL LETTERS.
It was ever RBG’s seat, it isn’t ACB seat. It is a seat allocated by our constitution and held by the will of the people.
Partisan Media Shills update.
Ruth Ginsburgh allowed over 30 million babies to be aborted. Amy Barrett will not allow that in the decades to come.
So Web!
FU - you’re the very definition of privilege.
You don’t deserve your position or your voice. You’ve not earned it, you haven’t struggled for it and it’s probably not even your opinion.
RBG did not deserve the seat —she replaced a conservative judge who has been rolling over in his grave for decades while she mis-interpreted the constitution.
And ABORTION is NOT contraception-it’s deliberate killing of the most innocent lives on earth—how is that FAIR? spit.
Just try saying that to Alyssa Milano or Cher. Just try./s
Ginsburg replaced Byron White. The left didn’t care much about it being anyone’s seat when the Marxist witch took the place of that moderate Democrat.
Absolutely great post!!!!! It says it all about all the pukes which are Clinton!!!!!
They make me sick!!!!
This fugly privileged kept arrogant dangerous azzhole !!!!
It’s NOT “RBG’s Seat”.
It’s America’s seat.
RBG sat on it for a while, and now it is somebody Amy’s turn.

The Clintons deserve life in prison.
Chelsea’s husband is George Soros’ nephew, right?
My definition of fair will never match what any liberals/socialists definition of fair is.
