Let's Give It Up for RBG! Such an Amazing Person!

She’s just announced that she’s been under chemo for Liver Cancer for months, all while doing her job to the fullest. Her statement made just now indicates that she’s fine and has no intention of slowing down!

Thank you Justice Ginsburg!

By that time, Republicans controlled the Senate.

But Harry Reid was the Majority Leader for Obama's first six years.
