The recent passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has left a void in the world of law and politics.

Ginsburg, also known as “RBG,” was a trailblazer who dedicated her life to fighting for gender equality and social justice. Her death marks the end of an era and has sparked a national conversation about her legacy and the future of the Supreme Court.

Ginsburg’s career as a feminist icon began in the 1960s when she faced gender discrimination firsthand as a law student. Despite the odds being stacked against her, she graduated top of her class at Columbia Law School and went on to co-found the Women’s Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Through her work at the ACLU, Ginsburg argued six gender discrimination cases in front of the Supreme Court, winning five of them. Her cases paved the way for gender equality in areas such as employment, education, and insurance.

In 1993, Ginsburg was appointed to the Supreme Court by President Bill Clinton, becoming the second-ever female justice. During her 27 years on the bench, she became known for her sharp legal mind, pragmatic approach, and unwavering commitment to justice. She was a staunch advocate for women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and racial equality, always standing up for the marginalized and oppressed.

But perhaps what made RBG such a beloved figure was her resilience and determination. She faced numerous health battles throughout her tenure on the Supreme Court, including two bouts of cancer, but she never let it slow her down. She continued to work tirelessly, often staying up late into the night to complete her work and never missing a day on the bench. Her unwavering dedication to her work and her passion for making a difference in the world earned her the nickname “The Notorious RBG.”

Ginsburg’s passing has left a significant void in the Supreme Court, and her death has created a political battle over her replacement. With only weeks left until the presidential election, the debate over whether President Trump should fill her seat or wait until after the election has sparked heated discussions on both sides. Many argue that Ginsburg’s dying wish, to hold off on her replacement until after the election, should be honored, while others believe it is the President’s duty to fill the vacancy as soon as possible.

As the discussions continue, one thing is clear: RBG’s legacy will live on. She inspired a generation of women to stand up for their rights and fight for equality. She showed us that change is possible and reminded us that one voice can make a difference. Countless tributes and memorials have poured in from across the country, and her impact will be felt for generations to come.

In the words of Justice Ginsburg herself, “Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time.” She may no longer be with us, but her legacy and impact will continue to inspire us to keep fighting for a better and more just society. Rest in power, RBG.
