Ginsburg abused the court to press her personal political agenda.
I don't feel sad when an 87 year old dies, when they have had the ultimate white privilege like RBG.
I feel sad when an 18 year old soldier dies in war, or an innocent kid dies of cancer.

AGREE
I also feel sad when an 87 or a 107 year old dies, sad as the passage of a life well lived.
Ultimate white privilege? Not in anyway, you are completely out of order; and you know it. She was Jewish, and a woman: she had many opportunities denied to her for either or both reasons, and you know it.
I, and most conservative people, disagree with her political thinking. But, if one stops to think about it, there is a justification behind it. While I disagree with the far left opinion of late term abortion, I do agree that women should have a right to decide when they want to have children. I believe that the political involvement with this type of question is inappropriate: it should be a discussion with the medical profession not the political left or right.
The tactic RGB used for the rights of women was to defend the discrimination of men: Such as, men were obligated to serve on juries and women were not.
Today, boys still have to register for the selective service (draft) when they turn 18, women do not. Is that fair to the boys, or just a indication that boys are different from girls?
RGB was correct in much of what she said about the need for women's rights. RGB was wrong when she stuck with the strict every more socialistic leaning of the Democratic Party, that party that is totally different from the Democratic Party of the 1940s and 1950s. But like most people who will vote against Trump this fall, Ruth did not recognize the negative changes in the Democratic Party because she was stuck with it. The Republican pasty needs to have a worthy opposition which can only come after the total collapse of the Democratic Party. The re-election of Trump will bring about many more needed changes for both parties. The Republican Party will survive with whatever the outcome, but the Democratic Party will not survive for long. A swift change in the Democratic Party would be beneficial for a needed pragmatic future, much better than a slow death which would be demanded by those who hold on to power with one hand, clutching to life with the other, while watching death stand over them.
