In reply to the discussion: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg dead at 87 [View all]Onward AND Upward
(122 posts)55. And Thomas could stroke out after Biden gets in...
That's only possible if we Dems maintain our determination to keep up the fight.
There are also enough senators up for re-election that may agree to let the next president choose. Any number of surprises could happen.
Give up = they win easily by default
Stay determined = it's possible to turn the tide
Right now, focus on replacing despair with determination. It's the least you can do to thank this courageous, iconic, woman who just put herself through HELL, staying alive and on the job, in an attempt to better our lives.
RBG would not have let this scenario stop her. She would have tried to create a solution. If the front door was slammed in her face, she would have found an unlocked window.

I could feel my heart fall as I just read that RBG passed. I am actually speechless--just sorrow.

We're going to fight as hard as she did. She gave measure to how committed to justice we need to be.
