Wait, I’m confused, it says she was a Supreme Court justice until 2006, but only died now. I don’t understand, I thought Supreme Court justices preferred to die in their seat at the worst time imaginable?
On the supreme court, her votes were key in cases about abortion, affirmative action and campaign finance as well as the Bush v Gore decision that effectively settled the disputed 2000 election in favour of George W Bush.
died ... of complications related to ... a respiratory illness
Extremely ironic and funny that a woman who was appointed by Ronald Reagan and then helped steal an election for George W Bush, who had that both had less votes than his opponent, and only won on the electoral college due to her decision, gets a presidential medal of freedom and honoured like this. So much for America being a shining light for democracy and freedom.
What? The land of the free? Whoever told you that is your enemy!
She just died? Wow. I didn't know that. She led an amazing life. What else can you say? She was an amazing woman, whether you agree or not. She was an amazing woman who led an amazing life. I'm actually sad to hear that.
