RBG

 My industry, the now defunct entertainment industry has known RGB since the advent of color tee vee. Sadly, we lost a Supreme Court Justice who has become known as just three letters, RBG. The most cutting insult, FDR, JFK and MLK are just a few more to refresh your memory. I have never heard of RMN as a replacement for Richard Millhouse Nixon, or either Bush distilled down to just three letters. A lifetime of challenges met and to be reduced to three letters, it is almost laughable if it were not so sad. The fascist regime that has always existed just below the surface in our nation. Interestingly, the Kluxes were reduced to three letters, bu tin their supposed "anonymity" they thought themselves absolved of their transgressions. Heck, come to think of it, they didn't even see themselves as transgressors, oppressors never do. One thing that remains very strong in our culture is the concept of, don't speak ill of the dead. In Ruth Bader Ginsburg's case that surely makes sense. She served as a beacon to hundreds of millions of womyn, letting them know that their educated and compassionate opinions actually counted as much as their male counterparts. Instead of using three colors that blend in our eyes, she shined the bright light of prudent truth on more decisions of substance than many of us confront in a lifetime. Her contribution to our nation cannot be overstated.

It is insane to allow a new Justice to be seated when Senator "Moscow" Mitch McConnell refused to hold a vote on President Obama's nomination. Our racist and fascist power brokers are in the desperate death throes and are grasping at anything they can to prop up their decrepit lies. The majority understand that "All men are created equal" meant something completely different nearly two hundred and fifty years ago. The oligarchs are only using the racist network that exists, the institutionalized racism to continue their fight against the impoverished.

When we look to the future, we don't need more people who like beer and throw fits sitting on our august bodies in halls of justice. We need more people who behave respectably and whose credentials and ethics are beyond reproach. The fact is, any valuable traits to have as a judge, the current Administration hates. They want opinionated idiots who bought their way through law school and have, for the most part avoided prosecution for deceitful fraud and tax or draft dodging. We have a current President who pardons war criminals, accuses the innocent and defends the guilty. We need a full Court system of honest Judges, people who believe in our nation and the Constitutional Rights that so many have fought and died for, not conspiracy theorists, gun fetishists or religious zealots. If we let the current idiot-in-charge pick the next Justice, it will be like inviting homegrown terrorists to inflict their demented holy war on all of us. 293 days Obama's Supreme Court Justice Nominee sat on Moscow Mitch's desk. Racist did all he could to stop the Black man from doing good for our nation, but now that we have a dyed in the wool, genocidal racist doing the nominating? Let 'er roll!

The early reports have four Republican Senators saying that they will not vote for a replacement until the new President is sworn in. At least a portion of our leaders exhibit some level of morality and ethics.

The fire will burn tonight in honor of RBG!
