Dies At 87
Equity Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the coy troublemaker who in her 80s turned into a
legitimate, social and women's activist symbol, kicked the bucket Friday. The
Supreme Court declared her passing, saying the reason was complexities from
metastatic malignant growth of the pancreas
The court, in an announcement, said Ginsburg kicked the bucket at her home in
Washington, D.C., encompassed by family. She was 87
"Our country has lost an equity of memorable height," Chief Justice John Roberts
said. "We at the Supreme Court have lost a valued partner. Today we grieve yet
with certainty that people in the future will recall Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we was
already aware her, a vigorous and fearless hero of equity
Modeler of the lawful battle for ladies' privileges during the 1970s, Ginsburg in
this way served 27 years on the country's most elevated court, turning into its
most noticeable part. Her passing will definitely get under way what vows to be a
frightful and wild political fight over who will succeed her, and it pushes the
Supreme Court opportunity into the spotlight of the presidential
mission... s burg's
death would have dire consequences for the court and the country. Inside the
court, not only has the leader of the liberal wing gone, but as the court nears the
opening of a new term, the chief justice no longer has the controlling vote in
highly contested cases
Although Roberts has always had a conservative track record in most cases, he
has broken up with fellow conservatives on a few important issues this year
casting his vote with the Liberals, for example, to protect so-called Dreamers
from deportation by the Trump administration. At least temporarily. , To uphold
the key abortion precedent and support a ban on large church gatherings during
the corona virus pandemic. But with Ginsburg gone, there is no clear legal
majority for these results

An upcoming political battle
In fact, a week after the upcoming presidential election, the court is set to hear
for the third time the Republican challenge to the Affordable Care Act, known as
Obamacare. In 2012, the Supreme Court upheld the law in a 5--4 ruling, with
Roberts casting the decisive vote and writing the majority opinion. But this time
the result may be different
That's because Ginsburg's death gives Republicans a chance to tighten their grip
on the court with another appointment by President Trump so that the
Conservatives get a 6-3 majority. This means that even a defection from the
right
would leave the conservatives with enough votes to win the Obamacare case and
many more
At the center of the battle to achieve this will be Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell. In 2016, he took an unprecedented step in the modern era: for nearly
a year he refused to allow Supreme Court nominee
At the time, McConnell's rationale was the upcoming presidential election, which
he said would give voters a chance to contemplate the kind of justice they want
But now, with the tables turned, McConnell made it clear that he would not follow
the same path. Instead, he will immediately try to pressure through the Trump
candidate to ensure conservative justice to fill in the liberal shoes of Ginsburg
even if Trump loses his re-election bid. When asked what he would do in such
circumstances, McConnell said: "Oh, we'll fill it
So what will happen in the coming weeks will be just plain barren politics on the
stage of the presidential election. It will be a fight that Ginsburg was hoping to
avoid, telling Judge John Paul Stevens shortly before his death that she hoped to
serve as long as he did - until age 90
