Breaking News: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Dies At 87
And this is the New News Newshour, with some breaking news.
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg has died at the age of 87, due to complications of metastatic pancreas cancer, the court announced.
Ginsberg was appointed in 1993 by President Bill Clinton, and in recent years, served as the most senior member of the court’s liberal wing, delivering progressive votes on the most divisive social issues of the day, including voting rights, immigration, eta.
And now, because of her death, there is one justice missing, so with Trump currently in power, he’ll choose a Republican for the job, and with Ginsberg a Democratic supporter, there will be 6 Republican and 3 Democratic justices in the court, and even if Biden is president, there would likely be a vote of 6 to 3, so any executive orders and such would almost never be approved, so the Democrats will have a hard time for the next 20 years or so, because even if every president for the next 20 years are Democratic, the justices, who serve for life, will probably always vote 6 to 3.
