The big headline today, of course, is the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Ginsburg had been sick for many years. Sadly, she passed yesterday at 87 years old.
It was horrific to see the almost glee among many Trump fans. There is one college classmate that I have who's a Trump fan. He apparently thought it would be hilarious to put an imitation poster of the old movie "A Weekend at Bernie's" involving Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
On the day that she died. Just hours after she died, really.
Not to be outdone, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell - the same man who insisted early in 2016 that a new Supreme Court nominee should by rights wait until after a new president came to power - made sure everyone understood that they intend to rush through a nominee to be the next Supreme Court Justice.
Stay classy, Trump fans.
For once, Trump himself actually sounded respectful, which was a bit of a surprise. It must have been hard for him to keep the hatred and the cynical, vengeful remarks locked up.
Today, however, we should remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and her contributions to the Supreme Court, which she had sat on since 1993. Almost three full decades.
Very sad news, both for the loss of an honorable and intelligent leader for the Supreme Court, and the loss of intelligence, objectivity, and frankly, real patriotism as far as the country is concerned.
