RBG fought for MEN’s “equality under the law” as well as women’s. Two cases – one was a man trying to get survivorship benefits for his child when his wife, the main breadwinner, died in childbirth. She also fought for a man to get an IRS deduction for caring for his elderly mother when it had been limited to women and widowers.
We must honor her by carrying on the fight outside the court. Vote, fight for what is right at the ballot box and in our lives. Take your daughter/s fishing, to a ballgame, anything you would do with your son/s. Give them Lego, and not just the “friends” stuff they are putting out. One of my girls wants the Baby Yoda set. I might have to buy it and hide it for the next three months. And teach your sons how to cook, change a diaper, and darn a sock.
That didn’t apply to land ownership. She ruled in Kehlo that it was OK for governments to seize your land so it can be handed over to the rich for gentrification. I guess the right of ownership only applies to the rich, in her world….

We will miss her, but I’m sure she wasn’t Tiny’s type.

This admin doesn’t believe in justice or the law. They only believe in rigged rules of the day.

“Justice and Equality”? On the Supreme Court? That won’t do. We must nominate a Conservative instead.
