RBG

* Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Champion Of Gender Equality, Dies At 87

* Saturday Night Live – ‘RBG Rap' | YouTube

* Mia Weinberger – ‘The Notorious RBG' | YouTube

 

 

The Supreme Court announced at 7:28 p.m. on Friday that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died from complications of pancreatic cancer. NPR reported that the 87-year-old liberal lioness dictated this statement to her granddaughter as she lost strength in her final days: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced at 8:51 p.m. that “President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor.” That was almost the exact amount of time it took McConnell to announce after Justice Antonin Scalia died in February 2016 that whomever President Barack Obama nominated would not receive a vote. – Washington Post
