The Implications of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Failure to Retire

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a trailblazer in her field. She is as close to single-handedly responsible for building up gender discrimination laws to where they are as any one person could be. Her jurisprudence on the court was very strong. Certainly one of the, maybe, most liberal two or three justices of all time. Now her spot on the court will almost certainly go to a far right-wing psycho appointed by Donald Trump. That decision will likely eventually erode whatever legacy she has impressed upon American law.
