Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death sets in motion a battle for the future of the Supreme Court, the rule of law and the concept of an independent judiciary. It will be a battle without a victor, and American democracy will be the loser.
Throughout her life, Bader Ginsburg (aka, the Notorious RBG) was the embodiment of how the rule of law, manifested through the vehicle of the Constitution of the United States, could (and should) serve the interests of the American people by ensuring that the playing field that is American society was as level as possible. Whether one agrees with her politics or not, RBG’s defense of the constitutionally based principles of individual liberties and freedoms was the personification of what the judicial process in America should be about.
RBG’s death is not expected to bring about the kind of somber celebration of life and legacy that she deserves. Nor will it give pause to the self-destructive processes underway in the US today, which would allow those on both sides of the political spectrum – who through their actions destroy that which they claim to defend – to take a time out and reflect on the consequences of their actions.
