We Must Honour Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Wish!

by Catherine Wylie

On September 18, 2020 we lost our fierce defender of Equality for every life, Supreme Court Judge of 27 years, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. For centuries women were owned by men through the Patriarchal Paradigm of power over, domination and control.

It wasn't until our brave Suffragette sisters won women the vote that we began to take back control of our lives.  In Canada, it was our Alberta famous five that forced the Supreme Court of Canada to declare women people. But we still required men to sign papers on our behalf until the mid-'70s.  We MUST NOT allow ourselves to go backward and be owned again!

Born March 15, 1933, Ruth grew up in Brooklyn, New York City.  Ruth In the fall of 1956, Ginsburg enrolled at Harvard Law School, where she was one of only 9 women in a class of about 500 men. The dean of Harvard Law reportedly invited all the female law students to dinner at his family home and asked the female law students, including Ginsburg, "Why are you at Harvard Law School, taking the place of a man?" When her husband took a job in New York City, Ginsburg transferred to Columbia Law School and became the first woman to be on two major law reviews: the Harvard Law Review and Columbia Law Review. In 1959, she earned her law degree at Columbia and tied for first in her class. (Wikipedia)

Ruth fiercely fought for equality for everyone. She recognized the Patriarchal power over, domination and control that kept people from being sovereign.

The Patriarchy for over 6000 years has diminished all things feminine, including owning women.  We are now in the 6th mass extinction event that will eliminate humanity unless we continue to honor and respect every life, every species and our planet.  This is why it is imperative we STOP  the GOP rush to confirm Poser 45's choice, Amy Coney Barrett until Joe Biden is elected  Stacking the Supreme Court to tilt it to the right is not representative of all the people of the United States.  A Supreme Court is about upholding the constitution for every life, not just the rich elite.

So drop your gloves and peacefully, fiercely work with Congress to stop this nomination's confirmation.  The GOP set the precedent when they refused to confirm Obama's choice in 2016.  So hold the GOP to their words.  We cannot be owned ever again!

Honour Ruth's Wish.  We owe her and she deserves to have her replacement chosen by the New President after Nov. 3, 2020!

And so it is!
