For nearly 30 years, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg served as a counterpoint on a Supreme Court long dominated by conservative jurists. She was always a reliable voice for the downtrodden and disenfranchised and that's why her passing feels so devastating to so many Americans. She held the trust of countless women who admired her unwavering defense of reproductive rights and gender equity. With less than two months until the election, the Senate should not confirm anyone for this seat until the voters have spoken. Senate Republicans refused to consider President Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court at the end of his presidency and President Trump should be given the exact same treatment. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
