Across the spectrum, White House Correspondent kevin corke is live for the cuts are gathering and good evening, kevin. You spent numerous hours here into my arch better circumstances but i can tell you weve been joined by thousands here tonight and mostly celebrating the life and the legacy of the late Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg. Fell by pancreatic cancer, and this is something that i know very well. It is still a shock because even though at her advanced age, you may be saying that, you know, she was so strong. Indeed, she was buried and she seemed almost indestructible and yet tonight she comes to cancer.
