One could almost feel the collective, international gasp at the breaking news of the death on Friday of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, at the age of 87, from complications related to pancreatic cancer. Justice Ginsburg was first diagnosed in 2009, beating back for years a demonic malignancy that claims most lives in less than half that time. She was a warrior—a warrior for civil rights, for gender rights, for constitutional rights, to be sure. But in this moment of American history when democracy itself hangs by a thread, with a yawning crevasse of authoritarianism menacingly before us, perhaps her most important contribution is a reminder of a life lived with an unflinching value system—a value system defined by civility, compassion, critical thinking, decency, and grace. She was exactly what the soul of America is lacking right now.
Famously, RBG and the late Justice Antonin Scalia were close friends. Upon his unexpected death, her remarks modeled the kind of integrity and friendship that we hope for our own children:

Where has RBG’s spirit of respect and tolerance gone? Does it still live amid the purple mountain majesties and amber waves of grain?
To be sure, Justice Ginsburg was not alone among members of the Supreme Court in her penchant for putting civility and professionalism over politics—it is an ethos of that institution that, so far, has survived this dark era of American history. But as a woman who, despite her top grades at Harvard and Columbia Law Schools, took a job teaching law when no law firm would hire her, Justice Ginsburg occupied a Supreme Court class by hersel.

First, someone with competence to do the job. With all the upset over the confirmations of Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, no one can accuse either of lacking the intellectual chops for the job. Second, refuse to confirm a divider, a splitter, a fearmongerer. Have a shred of compassion for the millions who quake at the thought of what generations of a solidly conservative 6-3 majority will mean for themselves, their families, and the less advantaged of society.
Good gracious...please end the charade and just join the DNC already.
Thirty million dead babies were unavailable for comment.

This is the first I have heard that she is among the Covid-Trump’s Fault death count.

“One could almost feel the collective, international gasp at the breaking news of the death on Friday of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader”
Now that’s journalism....of the yellow kind.
>> Second, refuse to confirm a divider,
So someone NOT like Ginsburg then?
She represented everything wrong with our judicial system. She was an awful person.
>>Have a shred of compassion for the millions who quake at the thought of what generations of a solidly conservative 6-3 majority will mean for themselves, their families, and the less advantaged of society.
Less advantaged under the law?
Courts are supposed to be blind to the parties bringing suit and being charged.
And what society does she speak of? US citizens? Illegal immigrants in violation of numerous laws (unlawful entry, identity theft, tax evasion...)?
“a solidly conservative 6-3 majority” .... LOL
2 Constitutional Conservatives
2 Usually Situational Conservatives
1 Deep seated Never Trumper and a judicial Social Worker with a soft spot for Commies
3 Moonbat Commie Socialists
An additional Conservative of some flavor would make make for 5-4 and kicks Roberts out of the Swinger Seat.
shes a murderer and a pedophile and wanted 12 yr olds to have sex...shes burning in hell
IOWs she is a deepstate leftist.
The Civility movement years ago was coopeted by the left who tried to tell conservatives that Civility required conservatives to shut up.
So I don't let anyone lecture me about civility. Whenever they do, I assume they are a Marxist, and, as a check of Sweet Kimi's bio show, it was true.
The author. Surprised?
Schumer? Shifty? Kamala? Whitehouse? Koons? Stolen Valor? Mazie? CCP Spydupe? Hairblow Nanzi? That's where the left's so-called spirit of respect and tolerance has gone.
What a crappy sjw propaganda bs article.
RBG was certainly a divider. She was also selfish and put her ego ahead of the national interest by refusing to retire even though she had a fatal illness.
“civility“
“A model for civility”
Just before roe v wade passed, I leaned about abortion. On the school yard in a group of nice school girls we were amazed. We discussed how they would do it, kill a fetus, a human, with the mother hiring someone to do it. The no-filter language of a group of sixth grade New Yorker catholic girls separated from authority put the image in my mind, no, burned it in, in a way sympathetic to the baby, as I am certain every human should think of it. I always Consider this first when I see a democrat operative of any kind but most especially, and by far most of all, Supreme Court justices whe voted in or in any way perpetuate the mass murder of well over fifty million babies in this country.
Civility is the opposite of what they do. And it is what they primarily do.
Anyone who writes these sycophantic pieces are disposable.
Buuuulllechhhh!
This harpy sanctioned putting babies to death.
I hope she burns for eternity.
“I leaned about“
Grrr. I learned about
Democrats never were about civility!
“ disposable”
Despicable is what autocorrect changed into that otheR word.
“But as a woman who, despite her top grades at Harvard and Columbia Law Schools, took a job teaching law when no law firm would hire her, Justice Ginsburg occupied a Supreme Court class by herself.”
So... nobody wanted to attend her SC classes either ?
