Gratitude Monday: Righteous one

It is somewhat difficult today to haul up gratitude, given not only the loss of Ruth Bader Ginsburg as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, but also the probability that the Kleptocrat and his Repugnant senatorial lackeys will jam through the confirmation of some Kavanagh-level troglodyte ideologue to replace her. 

I mean—I have no words to express my sadness, fear and rage.

So what I’ll focus on Ginsburg’s grace and courage, her meticulous arguments as an attorney and her sharp questioning of lawyers as a Justice. Her 27 years on the Court were preceded by an impressive career as an advocate against gender discrimination. So many people—women and men alike—owe her a debt of gratitude for the work she did for decades. She personified the term “public service”.

As far as I’m concerned, she is indeed a Tzadik, and her memory is a blessing.
