What do you respect about RBG?

We honor and respect Ruth Bader Ginsburg and we hear of her liberal stances to advance equal justice for all.

We also respect her discipline and persistence in whatever office she was in. Let's remember and teach to our younger friends. There is no great end result without study, contemplation, planning, discipline and hard work.....and all those separate tasks are done many times with no fanfare or support. It is personal dedication that wins.

multiple illnesses - ones that would sideline almost anyone. She was keenly aware of how her position on the court held democracy in balance for the US. She wanted to retire in 2016 and have the first woman president replace her on the court. When that didn't pan out, she stayed put, working until her body just gave out. Her spirit, her patriotism, her intelligence, the fierceness of her fairness...all are worthy of awesome respect. But her resolve to serve us, uncomplaining, through illness and aging...she deserves to be sainted.
