Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died. She passed away Friday from complications related to cancer. She was 87.
Ginsburg served 27 years on the Supreme Court.
Reactions:
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. said in a statement to The New York Times: “Our nation has lost a jurist of historic stature. We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn, but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her — a tireless and resolute champion of justice.”
Ruth Bader Ginsburg stood for all of us. She was an American hero, a giant of legal doctrine, and a relentless voice in the pursuit of that highest American ideal: Equal Justice Under Law. May her memory be a blessing to all people who cherish our Constitution and its promise.

The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.
