Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the vacuum she left behind

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was an American jurist who served as an associate justice of the supreme court of the United States from 1993 until her death in September 2020. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a pioneer of women’s rights and a liberal icon of the US supreme court. Her death last week will change the political balance of the court and has rocked the US election campaign with just weeks to go.

The liberal icon on the supreme court was at the centre of the expansion of women’s and LGBT rights and voting rights for African American but her now vacant seat is likely to be filled by a far more conservative figure picked by Donald Trump.

It has led to a wave of anguish among liberals who fear that changes , particularly on abortion rights, could be rolled back.

Americans gathered infront of the US supreme court after the inspirational Ruth bader Ginsburg passed away.

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden called Ms. Ginsburg “ not only a giant in the legal profession but a beloved figure.”.
