please rise

Just yes­ter­day Dar­cy Tot­ten and I were watch­ing the West Wing episode where a Supreme Court Jus­tice al­most died.

They thought the jus­tice was dead but he laid in the hos­pi­tal for a week and re­cov­ered. Toby was ex­press­ing how rare and im­por­tant it was to be in an ad­min­is­tra­tion who gets to choose a Supreme Court mem­ber. For a brief mo­ment my mind turned to RBG and said a sub­con­scious prayer.

Now is now and I’m crushed.

The only thing giv­ing me so­lace is this thing I heard just re­cent­ly, when a leg­end dies it’s be­cause they know they can do more good on the oth­er side of the veil then they could here. 

I have to be­lieve that when she let her last breath go, she was al­ready plot­ting about what good trou­ble she was about to get into with John Lewis on our behalf.

I must be­lieve that she is 2000% about to put a wrench in all of the plans of these shame­ful politi­cians who have de­nied jus­tice for so many.

I hope she’s ready to can­cel Christ­mas for all those who think they can break Democ­ra­cy and get away with it. My heart goes out to her fam­i­ly and to those who knew her.

Rest now Ruth – your’s was a life well lived.
