Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Champion Of Gender Equality, Dies At 87
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the demure firebrand who in her 80s became a legal, cultural and feminist icon, died Friday. The Supreme Court announced her death, saying the cause was complications from metastatic cancer of the pancreas.
The court, in a statement, said Ginsburg died at her home in Washington surrounded by family. She was 87.
"Our nation has lost a justice of historic stature," Chief Justice John Roberts said. "We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her, a tired and resolute champion of justice."
Architect of the legal fight for women's rights in the 1970s, Ginsburg subsequently served 27 years on the nation's highest court, becoming its most prominent member. Her death will inevitably set in motion what promises to be a nasty and tumultuous political battle over who will succeed her, and it thrusts the Supreme Court vacancy into the spotlight of the presidential campaign.

If it was civil war, then the rioters would be attacking Republican communities, not trashing their own.

You don't understand what is going on. They aren't Democrats either -- Democrats moronically seek to ally themselves to the regressive left thinking that neoracism, censorship, authoritarianism, and looting are progressive, but the Democrats are shooting themselves in the head. The regressive left seeks to destroy every enlightenment principle, every liberal ideal that went into the fabric of this country and remake it into something else. They're telling you quite clearly: "Liberals get the bullet too" https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C3otTkPVMAEBiEb.jpg [twimg.com]

The Protesters managed to scare the "Karens" in Missouri! Even got them a spot in the RNC! To bad all their neighbors know they are just assholes, and lawyer assholes, Republican lawyer assholes. Am I seeing a pattern here?

They try to get out of their containment zones. Bordering counties aren't having any of their shit though and the cops there do not answer to them, they answer to their local voters.

Every day shows how stupid you Republicans are. Very stupid, and dangerously violent.
It is rightwing radicals who are going to cities to stir up violence with false flag attacks, who dtive around shooting people with paintballs and are lucky liberals are hair trigger pussies who shoot people when they get scared
As usual we have hypocrisy and projection from Republicans no doubt inspired by Fox News' propaganda telling hou insane lies about how liberals are coming to get you. So you excuse all the actual rightwing violence and murder.
You people make me sick.
