In this BONUS episode, Mary speaks for herself and Lee, who is unable to appear on this episode. Mary pays homage to the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg who recently died of pancreatic cancer. Celebrating the life of this iconic legal trailblazer who dedicated her career to challenging the patriarchal world and fought against gender discrimination in all forms. A few hours after Justice Ginsberg's death Mitch McConnell publicly announced that he will ignore Justice Ginsberg's dying wish, which was for her seat to not be filled until the next President is installed. You will hear Trump, the very next day at a rally in Fayetteville, N.C. vow to fill her Supreme Court seat quickly. This is GOP hypocrisy laid bare after they refused to fill Justice Scalia's seat 11 months before the 2016 election claiming the voters needed a say in who was nominated. The GOP is aware of the stakes and they have never been higher. The GOP donors are so close to a complete power grab. True to form, Trump says the quiet part out loud when he admits that he is counting on the captured federal courts to hand him the election by limiting what ballots actually count. The fear for democracy is real and the fight is very much on. May Ruth Bader Ginsberg's life inspire a revolution.
