NEWS ALERT:
Ruth Bader Ginsburg died today (9/18). She was one of the U.S. Supreme Court Justices -- and its only female justice. She was 87, and had struggled with ill health for some time. (More about her here.) [Update: my readers have my back -- she wasn't the only female justice, but she did predate her colleagues by some years. See reader comments for the other justices.]
I didn't always agree with Ginsburg's politics, but I admired her verve, can-do attitude and thoughtful comments very much. She made me think -- that is a high compliment I can not always give.
She will be missed.

A gentle correction: Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor are also women who are current U.S. Supreme Court Justices.
Elena Kagan and Sonya Sotomayor are women on the U.S. Supreme Court.
You're both right! Thanks for the correction. Ginsburg preceded them by quite some years, but she wasn't the only female member.
President Trump has already said that he'd nominate a woman to succeed her. Which seems only fitting.
Thanks for writing.
