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.

HorseFace Clinton, she sounds just like her abortion-loving fat HAG mother. As if anyone anywhere cares about her dumb@ss dumbsh*t opinions.
Anytime a libtard talks about the country getting worse, 1 they are lying, and 2, it usually means things are getting back to original constitutional meanings and settings.
What’s it like to have a father who is a sexual predator and a rapist?
She is really NOT a bright woman. Lucky she has grifter parents who have political clout. She would be bereft of income, if she wasn’t the spawn of high up Dems.
Why do we care what Chelsea thinks about anything?
Except.. it’s not her seat.
It’s not RBG’s seat, Chelsea.
Nobody cares about your opinion Chelsea. Take care of your kids and shaddup.
Perfect!
RBG didn’t deserve RBG’s seat. Or more better-> America didn’t deserve RBG in that seat.
It’s Byron White’s seat...
It's NOT anyone's seat. The seat belongs to The People of the United States of America.

Fairness? From Children?
bwahhajaha
You moron
Bill is not her father, Webb Hubbell is.
Oh, oh, oh, little tiny worthless and useless Chelsea has spoken.
