On Friday, September 18, 2020, an icon of her time and an advocate for gender equality, women’s rights, and American Civil Liberties Union, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RBG), died in her home in Washington, D.C., from complications of metastatic pancreatic cancer, at age 87. As the second woman to sit on the highest court of the nation, Ginsburg was one of the more liberal Supreme Court Justices. With her being gone, the Supreme Court is now split between 3 liberal and 5 conservative justices. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dies at 87 and the U.S. will soon surpass 200,000 deaths from Covid-19, in the video “NBC Nightly News Broadcast (Full) – September 18th, 2020, NBC Nightly News“, below: Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died. The second woman to serve on the Supreme Court, she had powerful opinions that made her a cultural icon. She was 87, in the video “Remembering Ruth Bader Ginsberg, NYT News“, below: On the evening of September 18, 2020, mourners gather outside of Supreme Court, in the video “Mourners gather outside of Supreme Court to honor Ruth Bader Ginsberg“, below: Just days before RBG died, she told her granddaughter that “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.” After Ginsberg’s passing on Friday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer tweeted: “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president” (a direct quote of what McConnell tweeted after Scalia’s death). On this edition for Saturday, September 19, remembering Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg who died due to complications from Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer on Friday — and the political battle her election-year vacancy brings. Hari Sreenivasan anchors from New York, in the video “PBS NewsHour Weekend Live Show, September 19, 2020“, below: For better understanding of RBG, please refer to the excerpt from wikipedia, in italics, below: Ruth Bader Ginsburg (/ˈbeɪdər ˈɡɪnzbɜːrɡ/; born Joan Ruth Bader, March 15, 1933 – September 18, 2020),^[2] also known by her initials RBG, was an American jurist who served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020. She was nominated by President Bill Clinton and was generally viewed as belonging to the liberal wing of the Court. Ginsburg was the second woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court after Sandra Day O’Connor. Following O’Connor’s retirement in 2006 and until Sonia Sotomayor joined the Court in 2009, she was the only female justice on the Supreme Court. During that time, Ginsburg became more forceful with her dissents, which were noted by legal observers and in popular culture. Ginsburg authored notable majority opinions, including United States v. Virginia (1996), Olmstead v. L.C. (1999), and Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services, Inc. (2000). Ginsburg was born and grew up in Brooklyn, New York. Her older sister died when she was a baby, and her mother died shortly before Ginsburg graduated from high school. She then earned her bachelor’s degree at Cornell University, and became a wife to Martin D. Ginsburg and mother before starting law school at Harvard, where she was one of the few women in her class. Ginsburg transferred to Columbia Law School, where she graduated tied for first in her class. Following law school, Ginsburg entered into academia. She was a professor at Rutgers Law School and Columbia Law School, teaching civil procedure as one of the few women in her field. Ginsburg spent a considerable part of her legal career as an advocate for the advancement of gender equality and women’s rights, winning multiple arguments before the Supreme Court. She advocated as a volunteer attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union and was a member of its board of directors and one of its general counsels in the 1970s. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, where she served until her appointment to the Supreme Court. Ginsburg received attention in American popular culture for her fiery liberal dissents and refusal to step down, leading to her being dubbed “The Notorious R.B.G.”, a play on the name of rapper The Notorious B.I.G.^[3] Ginsburg died at her home in Washington, D.C., on September 18, 2020, from complications of metastatic pancreatic cancer, at the age of 87.^[4][5] Gathered, written, and posted by Windermere Sun-Susan Sun Nunamaker More about the community at www.WindermereSun.com Any comments, suggestions, concerns regarding this post will be welcomed at info.WindermereSun@gmail.com
