RBG’s official portrait, 2016
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on Sept. 18, and it wasn’t long before members of the music world shared their respect for the judicial titan.
“She was small in stature but even the tallest looked up to her,” Dolly Parton wrote via social media. “Her voice was soft but her message rang loud and clear and will echo forever.”
Stevie Nicks penned an even lengthier memorial for the late justice, calling Ginsburg a “political rock star” and saying her loss felt similar to “the night [Nicks’] own mother died.”
“She fought for me, and all women… I feel like someone punched me in the stomach,” Nicks wrote. “My tears have not stopped since a friend tip toed into my room and said ‘Stevie, Ruth died.’ (No need for the last name…) I so believed that she would live for a few more years. I wanted to meet her. I wanted to hold her hand and give her a huge hug and thank her for all she had done for women, and for all she would continue to do.”
Nashville’s Margo Price also shared her sadness, writing, “We have lost a feminist icon and a just and historical leader. thank you Ruth Bader Ginsburg for your passion and your fight to hang on for us all… let’s rise against anyone trying to fuck with our democracy in her name.”
Janelle Monet added, “The baton has been passed to us . I will keep fighting your honor. Thank you Ruth Bader Ginsburg.”

September 22, 2020 at 12:40 amRBG was an activist judge who died with hatred for Prez 45 in her last words. TDS much?! What a selfish act to incite hysteria among the media and brain washed liberals who are rioting no doubt as I type this… mob rule is not democracy. We need conservative scotus judges to save the USA from Marxism.
Keep trying, you’ll catch something sooner or later

September 21, 2020 at 4:46 pmShe, like many liberals, truly “wrote the book” as she went to ensure her own success and legacy!??! Legacy of KILLING unborn and going against the Constitution and Bill of Rights ALL the way thru her career that is…. RGB was a True Hypocrite of a liberal, that we know!!!

September 21, 2020 at 4:22 pmYes, what a believer in the constitution, bill of rights and a free people she was….NOT!
Ginsburg said the disappearance of that purpose eliminates the function of the Second Amednment.
“It’s function is to enable the young nation to have people who will fight for it to have weapons that those soldiers will own,” she said. “I view the Second Amendment as rooted in the time totally allied to the need to support a militia. So … the Second Amendment is outdated in the sense that its function has become obsolete.”

September 21, 2020 at 2:45 amShe screwed democrats by not retiring during the Obama years, thinking that Hillary had it in the bag in 2016. Look what happened instead, and now the Bad Orange Man gets to fill the vacant seat. Hubris, arrogance and a smug, elitist attitude will ultimately be her legacy.

September 21, 2020 at 11:02 amYou should retire now from life. Make the family happy. RBG will long be remembered about and written about after YOU are just a long gone blip on the human consciousness. A believer in civil rights, a great believer in women’s rights and the workers, she was all of that.

September 22, 2020 at 2:40 amPretty cute Jim, wishing someone else would die because they have an opinion that differs from yours. Such tolerance! Now take your meds, eat a nice big bowl of Count Chocula and settle in for a Robot Chicken marathon. You know you want to. Oh, and please GFY.
Jim
September 22, 2020 at 8:49 amSorry no need to GFY, I got a wife of closing in on 50 years. You can degrad RBG but I can’t degrade YOU. I wished YOU dead where? Nowhere duuh, I just stated that YOU will die just like everybody else . Facts hurt? Retire from life like YOU claimed RBG should have.

September 22, 2020 at 11:22 amThen it’d be best to skip the Count Chocula Jim, I wouldn’t want it to affect your diabetes. And I’m sure the Robot Chicken reference was lost on someone of such an advanced age like yourself. But definitely make sure you take your meds, sounds like you need ’em. Dinah out!
