RBG is Notorious

This comes via our FB friend Kathy Shaidle:
On the Basis of Sex, a feature film on the pioneering legal work of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, is due to roll out in theaters nationwide on Christmas Day. With Felicity Jones’ portrayal of Ginsburg as a hot, young ACLU lawyer, the canonization of “Notorious RGB” will be officially complete. The 85-year-old justice’s celebrity status as a badass feminist has never been higher. CNN, which earlier this year produced a Ginsburg documentary titled RBG, has declared her the “face of the resistance” against President Donald Trump’s agenda, and a new Ginsburg biography was published in October to coincide with the 25th anniversary of her confirmation. A retail store opened recently in Washington DC, stocked almost exclusively with RBG merch: yoga mats, water bottles, T-shirts, action figures, magnets, and pins designed to look like Ginsburg’s lace “dissent collar.” The store is called The Outrage.

But no amount of swag or hagiography can obscure the fact that, while Ginsburg is responsible for a great number of landmark legal decisions, her legacy may be sorely tarnished by one truly terrible one: refusing to retire when President Barack Obama could have named her replacement. That decision came into stark relief this month when Ginsburg fell and broke three ribs—and half of the nation took a collective gasp. Women took to Twitter to offer the justice a rib.
Kathy rightly points out the folly of 'women can do anything' feminism. Our response to this insanity is usually, 'OK, lets see you get those lug nuts off...' 

Anyone whose watched old people decline, and we've watched three of them do that in the last 18 months, knows RBG ain't long for this world. 

We apologize for being macabre, but we buried our mother two days ago and death has been on our mind lately. 

Mother Jones is right, this bizarre cult of RBG and the woman's own selfishness in remaining on the bench were a huge mistake for the left.

Yuuuger still was the attempted character assassination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Don't believe me? Just watch former GOP squish Lindsey Graham, now right, fierce and terrible:

'Lindsey said hello.'
