Statue of Ruth Bader Ginsburg to be unveiled in Brooklyn on her birthday
CBS "News" ^ | October 15, 2020 | By Caitlin O'Kane

A bronze statue of late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be unveiled in her hometown next year. The statue, which was created with Ginsburg's participation and approval, will be located at City Point Brooklyn, the commercial and residential complex announced this week.

The statue will be unveiled on March 15, 2021, which is Ginsburg's birthday and also falls during Women's History Month. Ginsburg, who died last month due to complications of metastatic pancreas cancer, would have turned 88 on her next birthday.

The statue was created by artists Gillie and Marc as a part of their "Statues for Equality" project. The artistic duo has created and commissioned dozens of statues of famous women for public spaces in cities around the world.

The couple said their final statue of Ginsburg, "which she endorsed, reflects her wish to be depicted in a dignified manner."

"With the two steps on its large base representing the Supreme Court and the climb she made to get there, the work is designed to provide the public with an opportunity to stand at her side, and gain inspiration from her journey fighting for equal rights," the artists said.

To mark the occasion, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams will declare March 15 Justice Ginsburg Day in Brooklyn, City Point Brooklyn said in a press release. "No one can dispute the towering achievements of this judicial giant and the value of adding her likeness to the landscape of our city," Adams said in the release.

Really.

Wonder what the response would be if someone were to throw blood or red paint with a few dismembered dolls for good measure on it.

I must have missed Men’s History Month... when was that, again?
All of human history.

And I would have sworn it was right after White History Month (and before Heterosexual Pride Month). Hmm.

Topple it once it is up.
After all, it’s okay to topple anti-slavery monuments.
It should be okay to topple pro-slavery monuments.

Oh, I am breathless just thinking of this:

I want to be there when Gillie and Marc finish the statue of “Heels Up!” I would like to be the first person to hang his laundry between her two legs, (pointing to the stars.)
There might be a few other “niceties,” instore.
The true depiction will have Willie Browns hat stuck in her crotch! Kamala, you be a nasty ho!

Men are too busy making history to worry about their part in it being recognized and taking selfies to assure they’re remembered.

How did they get this so quickly?
Did they pot her carcass in silicone to make a mold?

Like I said, a Leftist straight from Central Casting. She was not known as a great legal mind. Her area of expertise was civil procedure, the nerd table of legal academia.

It should be toppled, beheaded and dumped in the Hudson.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Didn’t Understand Her Job. If RBG wanted to be a lawmaker, she should have run for Congress.

. “Ruth Bader Ginsburg had a vision for America,” Linda Hirshman argues in the Washington Post. What was her vision? “To make America fairer, to make justice bigger.” THAT IS NOT A JOB FOR HE JUDGE — that is a job for a legislator. The job of making law properly belongs to — some people find this part hard to handle — lawmakers.

MAKING LAW IS NOT THE JOB OF THE JUDGE, even so some misguided judges think so. The job of the judge is to see that the law is followed and applied in a given case. It does not matter if the law is unfair or if the law is unjust — that should not be the judges concern. If you have a vision for America, and desire to make the law more fair or more just, then there is a place for you: Congress. That is where the laws are made.

The left doesn’t like its idols mocked. Tear down statues of patriotic Americans, OK. Tear down those statues of ghouls and other vile creatures ? Unacceptable !

Dismembered and different parts sold off for scrap or recycling. More fitting.

It should be one of her sleeping while “hearing” a case.
