In the race to fill her seat, with consistently meek Democratic opposition, the GOP has enough votes to confirm and we expect that confirmation to occur before the election. She was appointed by conservative New Democrats President Bill Clinton in 1993.
She was 87 when she passed, after serving nearly 27 years on the highest court in the land. She was a staunch democrat, staying alive in office till just 46 days before election day, throwing the entire nation into paroxysms of rage and worry. While she was remembered in memorials as a champion of gender rights, others remembered her for anti-native rulings. SCOTUS justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg just passed.
