Suburban women grieve Justice Ginsburg, brace for political fight over replacement
In small towns and leafy suburbs hundreds of miles from Washington, the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has unleashed remarkable expressions of grief and gratitude among Americans of all political stripes.
“I cried,” said Susan Gibbons of Minneapolis of her reaction to the news. “I’m almost crying again now.”
As mourners paid their respects Wednesday at the U.S. Supreme Court where Ginsburg lies in repose, the national outpouring of affection for a woman who spent 27 years at the pinnacle of the legal world remained profound.
“We had been praying a long time that Ruth could make it through; she didn't,” said Bruce Scoggins, an African American retiree who volunteers at an alcoholism recovery center in the Twin Cities. “I have great prayers and comfort for her family, and for the nation too as a whole, because she had that kind of an effect on the nation.”
