(p.s.  this is gonna be ugly)

Hopefully this can be more about remembering the person and her contributions and PPP can be for the fight to replace her, which I understand 7 weeks before a contentious election is going to be ... something. But, her family deserves some time before that all takes off imo

This is incredibly stunning and sad news.  She was my hero!  Such a stalwart champion for equality in this country.  The movie "On the Basis of Sex" captured her early life and career when she argued a gender discrimination tax case.  The plaintiff was a male bachelor who wasn't allowed to take a tax deduction for care-giver expenses because he was a single man.  Her career had so many roadblocks because of her gender.  She channeled her energy and efforts to insuring fairness for all regardless of gender.  A huge loss to our justice system.

Awful and surprising news, even knowing that she was ill. Rest In Peace Justice Ginsburg.

Not  surprising. Not being morbid, just a realist.  I'm surprised she hung on this long with the pancreatic cancer and other problems.  I said last year she should have retired and spent the tike she had left with her loved ones.

I get it, but when I found out my jaw still dropped.
