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.

Ah, the esteemed jurist Chelsea Wendell Holmes weighs in . . .
Chelsea Clinton does not deserve to be living anywhere but a trailer park....every nickel she has came from the Clinton Crime Family.
Nope - she wants another baby killer supporter to take her seat.
Try to stop it. Haha, you can’t.
RBG did not deserve to replace Byron White.
Listening to this minny you’d think we pick new scouts members every 2 years
And Chelsea doesn’t deserve much of anything she has because she didn’t earn it, along with her parents she stole it and was raised on the people’s dime. Amy Coney Barrett, had a full academic scholarship, and earned everything along with the accolades she has been given.
Was she left back?
ML/NJ
I would argue she was the very common (female) adult who - upon gaining a position of power - tried to misuse it to reduce the entire USA to grateful recipients of participation trophies.
The pile of sh*t doesn’t fall far from the horse’s A$$!
Seats are not owned, Princess.
So, who goes to Cosmo for hot takes on political topics?
Tucker Carlson on the BU professor’s Twitter comment regarding Barrett “a moron who can barely write English.”
It’s not RGB’s seat.
Somewhere, Web Hubbell agrees with his daughter.
another unaccomplished dingbat with an opinion...
Does anyone pay any serious attention to Chelsea Clinton’s opinion?
Chelsea my dear - starting a pissing contest over WHO deserves WHAT, coming from where YOU are - not a really good idea.
