Mr. Coons i ask proceedings under the quorum call be vitiated. The presiding officer without objection. Mr. Coons mr. President , on this past friday evening, on rosh hashanah, our nation lost a giant on the Supreme Court. We lost a trailblazer for womens equality, a woman who although diminutive in size was a giant and a force for justice. For my daughter, for all americans. I am so grateful for the work and the service and the life of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg. Having passed on rosh hashanah, the tradition of the jewish people teaches that she is especially blessed, particularly righteous. Its heart breaking that her dying wish dictated to her granddaughter was that the voters should choose the next president and that next president , her successor, and that already there are some who are racing to undo that wish. This was her wish because she understood the consequences of this decision for the senate, for the American People, and for the Supreme Court to which she d

These past few days have been painful and hard, and i, like you, have been heartbroken. Justice ginsburg was a giant in the law, a champion of justice ad equality, and she was also treasured member of the Georgetown Law Community for many years, beginning with her husband martys joining the faculty. She was remarkably generous with her time. I will never forget walking into on so many occasions. Every year she spoke to our first year class. Walking with her out onto the stage, looking out at hundreds of students, many of them wearing notorious rbg tshirts and seeing their faces light up and uploading ecstatically as , eventered the room though her Security Team always told us that she would leave right after her talk, she always stayed to talk to students and since friday, i have received so many photos from our students of the selfies they took with her. Notes about what a wonderful memory it was. It has been so lovely to see them. It is so hard to believe that she is gone. Askednight

Were all forever indebted to her. Brooklyn born daughter of working class jewish parents, young girl would become just the second woman to serve on the Supreme Court. Knew from early on, shed have to fight for her place in the world. And what a fighter she was. When she entered Harvard Law School in 1956, just one of nine women in a class of over 500, the United States was truly
