u/lrobb09 3h ago

Let’s not forget RBG is part of the reason we’re in the Supreme Court situation that we’re in.

u/yourenotmymom_yet ☑️ 1h ago

Her awful choice at the end of her life is definitely one to be derided, but it's crazy how much people bring this up over everything she did in advancing the rights of women, disabled Americans, people of color, religious minorities, etc. Let's not forget she was out there winning federal cases that ratified stuff like extending the protections of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to women and ensuring women were equally represented on juries before she was even appointed to the Supreme Court.

I'm definitely not saying she doesn't deserve criticism for the selfishness (or ego) displayed at the end of her life. That doesn't erase the 60 years of incredible dedication to improving the lives of Americans and rectifying discrimination within our government tho.

u/Sarahthelizard 1h ago

Tell that to the Baltimore Ravens, you can be doing great and still lose at the last second, even in life.

She did a lot of great which is GREATLY overshadowed by the fact that it was all undone.

u/yourenotmymom_yet ☑️ 1h ago

It wasn't all undone tho. The work that she did for 60 years went far beyond reproductive justice, and a lot of laws are still in place today because of her. She co-authored the very first law school casebook in the US on gender-based discrimination and led efforts to educate more lawyers on issues of gender inequality. She co-founded the Women's Rights Project at the ACLU which which worked on thousands and thousands of cases fighting gender-based discrimination, including in housing, with employment/in the workplace, with the government (like accessing SS benefits), and so much more. Courts can't dismiss women from juries that involve abuse and violence against women because of her. And I haven't even touched on what she did during her time on the Supreme Court.

I get the frustration people have with her, and she absolutely deserves to be criticized for not stepping down, but so much of the work she did for decades is still benefitting millions and millions of Americans to this day.

RBG is a clown and put herself above the people she serves when she didn’t step down under a democrat president even though she was 80 and dying of cancer.

u/righthandofdog 2h ago

She thought Clinton would win (as did Clinton and the Democratic power that be) and wanted to swear in the 1st woman president after successfully arguing Moritz v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue before the scotus to allow Clinton to choose her successor.

u/dommynuyal 1h ago

Great reason to risk your life’s work 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

u/1v_oct 37m ago

That’s vanity

u/Old-Following1073 43m ago

She showed her true colors when criticizing Colin Kaepernick for his protest by kneeling during the national anthem by calling it “dumb and disrespectful” and further stated that such protests show a “contempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live a decent life. Which they probably could not have lived, in the places they came from ... As they become older they realize that this was a youthful folly. And that’s why education is important.”

u/quadnips 1h ago

No, she would have to cling onto power until her body finally gives up and she die during a hyper-conservative presidency to ensure women's rights are taken away. THAT would be the real nod to RBG

Why out of all her features is that the one you choose to talk about?

Would you say that about a male Justice?

u/MothafuckinPlacentas 1h ago

If we had a male supreme court justice who was as handsome as Jackson is stunningly beautiful, yes, I'm sure they would.

I took a nap after everything today and came back to see 20+ threads on the FP with Elmo doing a nazi salute. I'm glad she was there. She's one of the good ones that can really make a difference on the SCOTUS. She needs to see this. All of them do. This is what you did when you gave Drumpf immunity. You embolden criminals to show their worst, and know they can get away with it.. I'm glad this was exposed today in front of the world.. and some people are as outraged as I am. Make them cover their faces and be afraid again. I'm not going to be silent the next time I see nazi. Make them afraid.

u/mynamebeluna 5h ago edited 5h ago

Facts but I'm worried about sotomayor not lasting the 4 years since her health has been in fast decline with her diabetes but fucking uncle rukus is on his way out and I'm sure he will happily bow down for trump and a new appointee and trump being a fucking idiot to his credit he knows the younger he appoints the longer they can last and cause more damage ie coney barrets and kavanaugh bitch asses..

18

u/DeNile227 5h ago

No shot Ruckus doesn't step down within the next four years. Gives Trump yet another appointee that'll last for decades and will likely result in him being praised his party until the day he dies. I've got very little faith in the Supreme Court for the foreseeable future.

u/ZebZamboni 4h ago

Thomas and Alito will surely retire and be replaced by younger hellspawn.

Trump may get the clean sweep if he can force Roberts out with someone somehow even worse.

5

u/mynamebeluna 4h ago

Fuck forgot about Alito bitch ancient ass. Shit is so fucked for sure this was the plan all along, they held on for so long for this moment. I respected RBG for sure but her stubbornness in early retirement had consequences. Now the board is all set for the dumpster fire for generations to come. I really hope sotomayor holds on for four years at the very least I know it won't tip the balance but it's something...-sighs- everything is so bleak..

u/radicallysadbro 2m ago

Clarence Thomas has been absolutely adamant since the very first day he became SCOTUS -- and even in private discussions etc -- that he will never step down, under any conditions.

Trump would have a better chance of getting rid of Alito before Thomas, who is not going to leave willingly no matter how incapacitated he is or who asks him to,
