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.

Did “Ruth” ever say, “In the name of Lori and every other Democrat, I will retire!”

No. No she didn’t.

If Ginzy wasn't so goddamned selfish and egotistical she would have retired during the Obama reign of terror when they wanted her too. Thank you Ruth-less!😀

“It’s like Jesus Christ was just re-crucified...”

If Jesus was re-crucified, the Left would would be holding mass parties and Lightfoot would be giving free blow jobs to demons. My prayer for this election is that God would take from those who hate Him what they value most: political power!

That would be poetic justice - truly divine..
