Ruth Bader Ginsburg
It has been almost EIGHT YEARS (a correction from the episode) and YANF had never covered Ruth Bader Ginsberg on the show... Until NOW.
She is known as the Notorious RBG, and for fighting for gender equality as an attorney, a professor, and as a Supreme Court Justice. On the other hand, she also really screwed us over when she didn't listen to Obama about stepping down, and also made some problematic statements in her time, but we'll get there.
Do you have a topic that you want the show to take on?
