Where flowers, candles, notes and spontaneous demonstrations have clogged the sidewalks for four days straight to know her impact on this country. We will honor her this week and by all rights, we should honor her dying wish imparted to her granddaughter that she quote, not be replaced until the next president is installed. All the words, and encomium for Justice Ginsburg from the other side ring hollow if they wont honor her last dying wish. Yesterday the republican side though often President Trump seems to make it worse. President trump mocked Justice Ginsburgs dying wish insinuating his granddaughter was a liar. Once again confirming every terrible thing we know about our president. He said Justice Ginsburgs statement was something that sounds like i schumer deal or maybe a policy or shifty schiff. Thats the president baselessly suggesting democrat fabricated the dying wish of the late Justice Ginsburg. It was a coarse, shameful, lying insult to the late Justice Ginsburg and to her
