I don’t remember where I was when my dad nominated Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the Supreme Court, but I do remember how I felt: very excited and a little surprised.
This was 1993. I was thirteen years old. In elementary school, I had learned about Sandra Day O’Connor, who had been confirmed twelve years earlier as the first woman justice of the Supreme Court. But until Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I didn’t realize so many years had passed without there being a second.
I was like this as a kid. I believed the world was fairer than it was. Which is why I admired Justice Ginsburg so much: She was the rare adult who made our country live up to a child’s inherent sense of fairness.
Justice Ginsburg served on the court for 27 years. She wrote 483 opinions, many of which were intent on making every American who felt excluded—women in particular—belong.(snip)
Because of her work, not only as a Justice but also as a lawyer, you cannot be fired for being pregnant, or denied a credit card or a spot in a public university because of your sex, or rejected for a marriage license because of who you love. She was a 5’1 legal giant. Who could possibly replace her?
One of the final cases Justice Ginsburg heard was about birth control. The Trump Administration had a new regulation that would roll back coverage for contraception—it was a bad rule, which Justice Ginsburg argued against. But she lost, and countless women lost with her. The president got what he wanted.
If President Trump succeeds in placing Amy Coney Barrett as Justice Ginsburg’s successor, I expect that he will get even more of what he wants—with disastrous consequences for the country.

Look at me. I got a wooden spoooooon.
Suck it, Chelsea.
It’s not FGB’s seat. She’s dead.
Speaking of not deserving a seat, how did she get that cushy msnbc job for 50,000 per episode with no experience?
Don’t tell her to do that. She will.
Exactly what qualification does Chelsea have to write an article for Cosmo? Cosmo used to have standards. Now they let any butt ugly girl between their covers. Gawd, she is hideously ugly to the bone.
No one cares what you have to say. Just disappear with your ill gotten gains and a face that can sink a thousand ships, is that clear Mrs. Hubbell?
It’s an empty seat not Ginsburg’s
It’s OUR Seat, Bitch!
If Chelsea keeps this up, she is going to deserve her parents.
Butt ugly Chelsea needs to give back the donations she stole from the poor Haitians before commenting on anything DOJ/court related.
Isn’t the opposite of what he wants and is what she wants? Why is she bitching? Chelsea got da privilege.
Hey Chelsea, GFY.
Nobody cares what she thinks.
>> I expect that he will get even more of what he wants
Jobs are far better than your mobs, jackass.
Who?
Butt ugly Chelsea needs to give back the donations she stole from the poor Haitians before commenting on anything DOJ/court related.
I still can’t believe someone got her pregnant.
