Hundreds mourn Ruth Bader Ginsburg at downtown vigil as Lightfoot declares ‘In the name of Ruth, I will fight’
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 9/19/2020 | Sam Kelly

The sense of loss was palpable Saturday night as hundreds came together in downtown Chicago to mourn the death of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg — but so too was the spirit of perseverance.(snip)

Mayor Lori Lightfoot led the crowd of about 150 in a fist-raising chant, calling out, “In the name of Ruth, I will fight. In the name of Ruth, I will vote. And in the name of Ruth, we will win.”

Deborah Harris, executive director of the Chicago-based advocacy group Action Now, likewise urged the crowd to mobilize.

“Tonight the common thread has been that RBG held the line and she fought like hell,” Harris said. “This is not something that should be washed over. This is not the time for America to be timid.”(snip)

Members of the crowd were encouraged to hang personalized tags on a memorial that was erected between two trees in the plaza bearing the letters R.B.G.

Near the memorial, a sign was placed that seemed to capture the spirit of the night.

“Thank you RBG, we’ll take it from here,” it read.

These lunatics openly view a seat on the Supreme Court as a a position for an activist, not a position for a judge.

“These lunatics openly view a seat on the Supreme Court as a a position for an activist, not a position for a judge.”

What scares them is they don’t realize an originalist won’t change things to suit the right. They think that an originalist will do the same kinds of things as an activist judge. That is, legislate from the bench.

Culturally, the American Left is clearly descendants of the riotous French Revolution, guillotines and all, while American Conservatives are truly following the American Revolution, which unlike the French did not end in a dictator like Napoleon.

Lightfoot can’t stop her own city from being like Mogadishu, but she’s going to fight for a dead woman’s legacy. Ok, yeah...

They’re getting that whole “Sieg Heil” salute down pretty good, now.

I hope we don’t let this get too out-of-hand, this time around.

These people are completely hollow inside, desperately searching for something to fulfill themselves with.

“In the name of Ruth, I will fight. In the name of Ruth, I will vote. And in the name of Ruth, we will win.”

And, in the Name of Almighty G-d, and the American people, we will prevail over YOU and the forces of evil!!

Not one of them is actually upset over her death. They are upset she died giving Trump a chance to nominate her replacement.

In America’s 3rd largest city, they can only attract 150 people.

There are more that 150 people in a single bar on Rush St.
