Ruth Bader Ginsburg symbolized everything that"is best about America," former President Bill Clinton said while reflecting on the life and legacy of the justice he nominated to the Supreme Court in 1993.
Former President Bill Clinton says he did not expect Justice Ginsburg to become"a cultural icon," but"the more I think about the less surprised I am, because in a time where people are so cynical, symbolizes everything that's best about America." https://t.co/OfUtBIA6uh pic.twitter.com/Ir9hjhy6IQ "The country became more and more polarized, but she maintained her relationships with Justice Scalia and cordiality with the others, even when she was clearly in deep disagreement with them over a variety of cases. And I think that's important. If we quit talking to each other, it's going to be very difficult to ever knit the country back together again," Clinton said.
— This Week September 20, 2020 The sudden Supreme Court vacancy has triggered a political battle to fill Ginsburg's seat in an election year. President Donald Trump told supporters at a campaign rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on Saturday that he plans to put forth a nominee in the next week.
" said we had to trust the American people and give the voters a voice in the last Supreme Court selection when President Obama nominated Merrick Garland, 10 months before the election. There has never been a rule on that," Clinton told Stephanopoulos. "Their position is do whatever maximizes your power … Ruth Ginsburg was just the reverse." https://t.co/OfUtBIA6uh pic.twitter.com/6s7fbzX2TT
