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.

Oh, go fuck yourself. Melania is nothing more than Trump's wife, and you hate Trump, so you hate Melania.

Melania is a Trump enabler , fully complicit in his lies. Or did you miss her speech at the RNC nomination?

You need a funny bone transplant. I submitted the story when there was nothing in the subs queue about Ginsberg. Got beaten out, but that's okay.

So I didn't know much about RBG's history. Looked it up and figured out why a Republican would post something so hateful.
A woman, one of only two to ever be on the Supreme Court, AND she was JEWISH!
Don't you know "da jews" killed Jeebus????/s
Seriously, you Republicans are so fucking evil and you hide it behind The Bible. We non-brainwashed types see exactly what you are doing, you are only fooling the sweet gullible grandmas that actually believe the insanely hateful rhetoric and lies the GOP uses to manipulate you duncecap wearing drool machines.
