NT

[underpants]

12. First reaction. She was clearly hanging on.

If Hillary had ...uh been President she would have been done. She tougher it.

🕯

[cwydro]

5. Ditto.

With much, much sadness.

[Mr. Ected]

America lost a tour de force.

[mzmolly]

6. :(

[ARPad95]

[underpants]

14. 🕯

No shit.

[harumph]

11. Then the number of justices must be increased.

[Botany]

13. She was one of the good ones.

No SCOTUS politics on this thread for me tonight only good thoughts for Ruth,
her family, and friends.

BTW she hung on for a long time with pancreatic cancer.

[spanone]

15. Goodbye America...

[Blecht]

40. There is still hope

1. Impeach the daughterfucker again -- impeachment "trumps" all other Senate business.
2. Win the election.
3. Impeach again and again and again until January. It's not like there isn't enough to try him for.

[bdamomma]

41. oh crap

trump is doing a happy dance. tRump should NOT NOT be allowed to pick someone like how McConnell said NO to Obama, and Merrick Garland.

Crap.

[Crunchy Frog]

53. Yup.

[Disaffected]

16. Apparently reported on NPR as well.

Horrible news indeed.

[Yavin4]

17. That's why Trump announced his SCOTUS picks last week.

He knew.

[Drunken Irishman]

23. There was speculation that she was nearing an end due to some specific drugs they put her on.

Basically the type of drugs they give someone when there's nothing more they can do.

[Bev54]

18. I feel sick

[BigmanPigman]

21. I've felt sick, now I am thoroughly ill!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. I have looked through Google and I find this is not true. ON EDIT:

I was mistaken. She has indeed died.

What a mess.

I am going to miss her.

[MustLoveBeagles]

52. She deserved happiness in her final years

not the clusterfuck we have now.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

31. Damn it!

"Tit for tat" over SC hearings, with an election coming up? Or is that impossible because McTurtle is the majority leader?

Thank you for your years of service, Justice Ginsberg!

[Peacetrain]

32. NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nolabear]

34. Oh God. I don't even know what to say.

I’m undone.

[Crunchy Frog]

35. Fuck!

I guess they'll fast track a a new fascist judge on the SCOTUS and then they can make a ruling declaring Trump to be President For Life.

I really, really, really wish that she had let Obama choose her replacement.

I'm going to have to get myself some hard liquor now.

[bdamomma]

36. She was our

Angel, now she is gone. Justice Ginsberg you were our legal mainstay.

Rest in Peace. You were a devoted patriot.

[mvd]

37. Oh no. Could this year get any worse?

First thoughts, very sad after the death of a great justice. She held on as long as she could.

We must refuse to allow any nominees. Very important,

[Dem2theMax]

39. One can only imagine how hard she tried to hold on.

We were so blessed to have her on the court.
We have to fight even harder, in her honor, to put Biden in the White House.

[MoonRiver]

42. OMG, heartbreaking for all of US!

[crickets]

43. Oh, no. This is terrible.

My heart goes out to her family and colleagues.
