It is just too upsetting, so today we have a group of tributes to Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Photo by Lynsey Addario @lynseyaddario / Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in her chambers in the Supreme Court building in Washington, DC on July 27, 2012. The Supreme Court Justice died on Sept. 18, 2020 due to metastatic pancreatic cancer. She was 87. I remember when I was assigned to do this shoot (for Glamour Magazine), and I was so excited, though very intimidated to be photographing such an icon of feminism, of justice, integrity, and equality. Suddenly I felt my life was completely inconsequential in the face of a woman who had changed the course of history for so many of us, with her lifelong fight for all the right things. When she entered the room, she seemed so physically small compared to her professional stature. I photographed her in the Supreme Court Building, and then asked to go with her to her chambers. We went in, and she removed her robe to reveal a lemon-colored dress and matching shoes. She immediately started reading documents on her desk. I asked her to pose briefly, but I didn’t want to take her away from her work for too long. All I really wanted to do was spend the afternoon with her, listening to her stories. I didn’t say anything, though, because I knew the nation, and her family, needed every ounce of her time.

I wanted to end with this latest ad from Biden:

    Also, an impeached president should not be appointing justices especially one for SCOTUS since he is likely to show up in front of the courts for all his crimes eventually.

    Aunt Lydia for SCOTUS? Look at this woman! She’s a bigger nut than Pat Robertson and Michelle Bachmann!
