RIP: RBG

So sad to see that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died. Her last wish ...

We all remember when Justice Antonin Scalia died in 2016 during President Obama's term, and Mitch McConnell refused to allow a vote on Obama's choice for the Court, Merrick Garland, becasue only eleven months remained of Obama's term. There was no precident for that decesion - McConnell just did that to benefit his party because he had the power to do so, saying "The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president,".

Now, when there are only a few months left of Trump's term, McConnell has said he will go ahead with a vote for Trump's pick for the Court.

This is the kind of unfairness that will sow hatred and tear our country apart.

RBG was a dedicated and brave public servant. She will be missed. I hope her last wish will be honored. But I'm not holding my breath.
