Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Supreme Court justice who was as pioneering as she was brash, died on Friday, the court said. She was 87.
The court said Ginsburg, a lifelong champion of women's rights and a fierce advocate for gender equality, died "surrounded by her family at her home in Washington, D.C., due to complications of metastatic pancreas cancer."
Chief Justice John Roberts said: "Our Nation has lost a jurist of historic stature. We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn, but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her — a tireless and resolute champion of justice.”
Despite her diminutive stature, Ginsburg was larger than life, both on and off the bench. Viewed as a feminist icon, she broke countless barriers, never shying away from making contentious comments along the way — with everything from her high court opinions to her octogenarian workout routines, earning her the nickname the "Notorious R.B.G." by her rabid fan base.

I'd like to hear the dissenting opinion.

I really wish that everyone could wait on starting the “food fight” over replacing her on the Supreme Court until after her funeral.

You couldn’t see all the other threads on this, or did you post this because NBC News had a super unique spin?

Trump now has 3 SCOTUS appointee’s going into the 2020 election. This could indeed be huge!

At the very least this should get antifa back on the warpath. We need them to show the electorate what they will be voting for if they vote Harris.

She should have retired 5 years ago, but she wanted to have Hillary appoint her successor. She than had 3 battles with cancer and yet she still wouldn’t step down, to do anything to avoid giving the choice to Trump
She was a leftist political hack to her last hour.
