Obama says RBG 'fought to the end, through her cancer, with unwavering faith in our democracy
and its ideals' and calls for the next president to fill her vacancy
"Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought to the end, through her cancer, with unwavering faith in our democracy and its ideals. That's how we remember her," former President Barack Obama wrote in a blog post Friday, honoring the late Supreme Court justice, who died earlier in the day.
"She was a warrior for gender equality someone who believed that equal justice under law only had meaning if it applied to every single American," Obama wrote, praising her trailblazing career as both a "relentless litigator and an incisive jurist."
Obama said that Ginsburg "inspired the generations who followed her, from the tiniest trick-or-treaters to law students burning the midnight oil to the most powerful leaders in the land," including he and former first lady Michelle Obama.
Obama also referenced Ginsburg's dying wish, which was reportedly that she "will not be replaced until a new president is installed," in calling on Republican senators not to fill the vacancy she left on the Supreme Court.
