We lost a great lady. That's really a misstatement. This great lady spent the last sixty-one years massaging the law so that women and minorities could have the same rights as men. Sixty-one years of labor in today's world is a long life, and sixty-one years of fruitful labor is a celebrated life, so I don't think we should be saying we lost anything. I think we should be thankful that we gained so much from RBG.
How do we replace her? Honestly, we would be really greedy to assume we can. RBG's don't come along every day, much less be in the right place at the right time.
The democrats are going to wail that the republicans should wait until next January to select a replacement. That's ridiculous. If the democrats were in power, would they wait? If you think so, I've got some real estate on the moon I'd like to show you.
Democrats, shame on you for losing the Presidency and the Senate. Suck it up, and get back in the game. You know the rules. If you're tired of losing, convince the voters you should be in office. And when you're back in office, convince the voters you should stay in office. Try making decisions that work for minorities and those without power or money. Try acting like Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and maybe you will match her run of sixty plus years of fruitful labor.
