I know I’m not alone when I say this—but those damn, dirty Republicans have made it almost impossible to properly mourn the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
And almost immediately thereafter President Donnie will announce his nominee to fill her vacancy—undoubtedly some far-right, anti-choice, union-busting Federalist Society soldier of fortune, whose assignment will be to undo all the good that RBG managed to accomplish during her long and productive legal career.
McConnell then: “Give the people a voice in the filling of this vacancy . . . ”
OK, so RBG was a supreme court justice. And my mother was a Chicago Public Schools teacher and teachers union activist.
My mom, in contrast, was the life of the party. She swore like a sailor and got right in your face when it came to arguing politics.
I’m getting sick to my stomach just anticipating it.
