May she rest in peace. A truly remarkable career as a jurist known for equality, women's rights and racial justice. Unfortunately, it is a dark day for the Supreme Court almost in the same sentence. The fear we all have is that the Republican majority in the Senate will seize this very moment to push for a conservative replacement . We will not know who Trump may fancy ,certainly not a nominee of R.G.B"s views. Obviously, Trump will try to get his nominee through whether or not he wins or loses this November's election. Let us all hold our collective breathe and hope not. Another lifetime appointee will greatly change the character of the Supreme Court. Should we consider changing the term of Supreme Court justices? Isn't it time to change? Why should any one President have the power to stack the court? Wouldn't it wise to have shorter terms, twelve years let's say, to give other Presidents the opportunity to nominate justices. Ruth Bader Ginsburg leaves us to contemplate the importance of her role as a member of the Supreme Court.
