We have nine justices usually but one of our most beloved, and notorious,
Ruth Bader Ginsberg, RBG, has gone to the Summerland, across
the Rainbow Bridge, to the afterlife—wherever that is for her, she’s
gone there. May her memory be a blessing. May her memory be a revolution.
And we are left with eight, five conservatives and
three liberals. RBG was liberal. Our current Pennsylvania Avenue occupant has already
nominated someone to replace RBG. This someone believes that god
speaks to the wife through her husband, the wife is submissive to the husband in all things,
she must submit in all things to her husband.
Sigh. As someone joked, this someone is walking through and slamming shut,
all the doors that RBG kicked open.
This nominated replacement believes that a woman has no choice in the matter of pregnancy,
and being gay is (once again) a sin in the eyes of the law, as well as her church.
This RBG replacement is Catholic, I guess.
I’m Catholic, too.

She is an American patriot, hero, champion for women’s rights, and for many she was the stalwart bastion of justice and ‘liberal’ rulings. She was a Supreme Court Justice for 27 years. Her life has been put into books, a movie, and the most notorious memes around. She became known for elaborate collars over her Justice robes. We mourn the lost of her, we celebrate her memory, and we must pull up our boots and continue the fight.
