Bader ginsburg who died friday night. She died on the eve of the jewish new year, the first jewish woman on the Supreme Court and a very interesting thing about individuals who die right before the new year. They say they suggest very righteous people die at the very end of the year because they were needed until the very end. Under jewish tradition those who die on the new year holiday, a title given to the righteous and saintly. Certainly Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg was entitled to this honor, being righteous and saintly. At her confirmation hearing she talked about her immigrant experience was her father was a jewish immigrant, her mother was a secondgeneration american, she talked about American Values and then she said what has happened over me could only happen in america and then she spent her entire career protecting those values that make america a great nation it is in the reason people come here in order to reach their full potential.

This is an institution that rests on the trust and reverence of the American People. Losing that trust and reverence is dangerous is dangerous. Its dangerous for millions of people who will lose the Affordable Care act protections. Its dangerous for the women who could lose their right to choose and all of us who do not want to turn back a half a century of progress. Its dangerous for our economy at a time when American Workers and consumers find themselves at the mercy of corporations that have grown larger and more powerful than at any other time since the gilded age. Its dangerous for the future of our planet and safety of our climate, at a time when the west is burning, seas are rising, and the earth is warming faster than ever before.

And we owe the memory of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her seat on the Supreme Court more than jus
