Remembering Ruth Bader Ginsburg

There was a huge number of people paying tribute to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who lost her battle with cancer on Friday. She tried so hard to hang on until the current administration was out of office, but sadly for her and for the country, that wasn’t to be.

This was a drive-by shot, although we were later able to park the car and get at least somewhat close to the Supreme Court building, which was difficult because of the crowds.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

A wonderful documentary style capture honoring this great American hero. Beautifully composed with your angle of capture and feeling of spontaneity. A sad day in our country as we seem headed to the abyss. VV

Amazing woman; many times "taller" than her human stature. V

The passing of a diminutive figure who was a giant for the Court, Justice and the rights of women. She will be missed.

So sad, after the lost pf Mr. Lewis, now RBG ... the instant I heard of her passing, I immediately saw what the GOP will do and how hypocritical they are ... what a mess it'll be. But it'll be their last move before being sent to history as for what they are ... to be forgotten for years to come. So go ahead Trump, McConnell et al, comes November, the people's turn to speak will come, all 330 million of them and you'll see so much blue, no other color will exist, it'll be unanimous.

I thought you might be there - was looking for you in the crowd !!! As a neighbour we worry about our American friends - and the future. What a great lady she was. V

When I heard the news of her passing I was very, very saddened. What a woman she was, a force for good against the hypocrisy and lies we see too often now. I remember her saying she was determined to hang on to the end of this term, but very sadly it was not to be. I echo Don's comments wholly. V

An excellent candid moment of these gathered people, Helen. V

The loss of Ginsberg at this time is devastating news even in Canada. The blatant hypocrisy of what McConnell is trying to do is beyond the pale. I hope the Republican senators get voted back to the stone age, along with Trump.

Very sad to read the news. And worried. The whole concept of a Supreme Court separate and independent of the Executive seems at risk.

She deserves a big tribute. Good to see people taking precautions against covid. V

A sad thing indeed. She might have been tiny but her influence was mighty. V

Wonderful capture, like your use of the trees for framing v
