New York will erect a statue honoring the legacy of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg in her native Brooklyn, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Saturday.
“Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg selflessly pursued truth and justice in a world of division, giving voice to the voiceless and uplifting those who were pushed aside by forces of hate and indifference,” Cuomo said in a statement.

“As a lawyer, jurist,and professor, she redefined gender equity and civil rights and ensured America lived up to her founding ideals -- she was a monumental figure of equality, and we can all agree that she deserves a monument in her honor," Cuomo said.
The governor said he will appoint a commission "in the coming days" to come up with ideas for the design and location of the memorial.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted "I couldn't agree more," after Cuomo's announcement. "Her memory will live on. I promise you that."

When do we get to tear it down?
No doubt made up by the governors friends to each of whom he will pay six figure salaries out of the taxpayers pockets.
And he cries for federal funds.
Here’s What RBG Said About Filling a SCOTUS Vacancy in an Election Year
When a similar scenario occurred four years ago, following the death of Antonin Scalia, the Republican-controlled Senate blocked Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court. It was a controversial move, and Ginsburg had something to say about it: Ginsburg publicly called on the Senate to go through with the nomination.
“That’s their job,” she said in July 2016. “There’s nothing in the Constitution that says the President stops being President in his last year.”
“Eight is not a good number for a collegial body that sometimes disagrees,” Ginsburg said on the issue a few months later during an event at the Smithsonian Museum of American History in Washington.
Hasn’t Louis Farrakahn and Jessie Jackson been claiming that for 30-40 years?
What’s one more gargoyle?
She deserves one. In fact the Republicans should erect a statue of their own at GOP headquarters. Who would have guessed out of all the justices that have come and gone she would be the one that has possibly finally broken the leftwing/swing grip that has held on the Court since before the time the modern conception of Right and Leftwing existed and heralded in a new age of conservative dominance. Shes a heroine!
As a bike rack
Well, that should last at least one generation before a mob tears it down.
Awesome! I hope I don’t have to climb too high to relieve myself.
GREAT idea but erect it near a garbage dump.
Cuomo gets an erection.
Not federal, but state, so it can be torn down, correct?
Ooh, can we tear it down like they did with statues of Columbus, Washington and Jefferson?
Statues honoring communists should be toppled.

How many years will it be before some bunch of rioters and insurrectionists try to pull down the statue of RBG? The precedent has already been set....
History being destroyed almost as fast as it is created.
How fitting, as they take down Teddy Roosevelt’s.
They can put her and St. Floyd right next to each other!!
Where are those peaceful protesters when you really need them?
