RACHEL MADDOW, MSNBC HOST: I think a lot of the emotion around that in the country was in part that the Republicans and Mitch McConnell had done something that really did feel like it broke the system, that really did feel like just a small D, anti-democratic assault on the process.But it also felt like a feminist catastrophe and -- and you not becoming the first woman president, despite Justice Ginsburg's fervent belief that you would be. That was part of how she explained that she didn't retire during the Obama years. But also then for that Supreme Court seat to go and for the court to go that much further to the right, and then for us all to be praying for Justice Ginsburg's health in the way we had before because of the balance of the court.
It all just feels mixed together with so much emotions beyond the politics here. ....
CLINTON: No, I'm devastated by this, Rachel. Just losing her is such a massive hole in -- you know, my -- you know, young adulthood, my becoming a lawyer, both practicing and teaching law, looking up to her and following her career. But much more than that, it is such a devastating loss for justice and equality.
What -- what Ruth Bader Ginsburg did was to make it abundantly clear that the Constitution had to explicitly, wherever possible, be interpreted as providing for the equal rights of men and women. She was extremely clever in the way she began her litigation march because she brought cases on behalf of men. ....
And now with her loss, it is not only a personal loss, but it's a real threat to the steady march toward progress that we need continue.

Saint Ruth dying is a blow to abortion.
Along with comments about how people are in the basket of deplorables.
That comment was extremely offensive to tens of millions of people. I have to believe that moved a few votes over to Trump.
I wake up every morning smiling because Hillary is not President.
Honestly, all this would be true if mail in ballots weren’t in the picture.
Is there a video link? Radical meltdowns lift my spirits.
Post #22 has it. Didn’t stay for whole video, just awesomeness of sobbing liberals.
Twice Hillary KKKlinton thought that the American People should reward her with the Presidency because she stuck beside Bill during his impeachment, which was counter to shrieking we have heard from butt ugly feminist for decades! No matter how much she screams about Russia, Russia, Russia it still will not cover the facts that she was defeated by a Novice Black Senator from Chicago, a Real Estate Developer from New York and that enough real Americans detested her so much in key voting areas. As far as Madcow, her brand of feminism is rooted in weirdo conspiracy theories.
Thanks, TM!

“...I think what will enrage the liberals more is when they focus on the fact that Ginsburg could have retired back in 2015 at the age of 82, Obama could have nominated a liberal to replace her and they probably would have been confirmed by the Senate. Instead, RBG probably wanted to hang on until 2017, certain that Hillary would win in 2016 and you would have the precedent of the first woman president appointing the female justice’s replacement. Now, RBG’s timing has achieved the exactly the opposite of what they desired! This becomes the major campaign issue to Trump’s advantage, will probably stir up more city riots, and will hopefully end with the confirmation of a female justice equally conservative as RBG was liberal.....”
Very insightful post.
It sorta reminds me of the story in Biblical book of Esther where Haman sought to destroy the Jewish people only to end up with his own neck in the noose instead.
What Satan has meant for evil & destruction, God can turn around for good.
President Trump is 10x the feminist that she is.
Thank you, don’t know how I missed it! If the chick in the car was not overacting, she’s already gone off the deep end and had to laugh at the one who was told she was “overreacting.” As to the one who fears Trump is now going to take away all her queer rights...what rights has she lost in the last 4 years due to her sexuality?
