Ruth Bader Ginsbirg is 85. She has fought colon and pancreatic cancer. I really thought she would pass or retire first. I didn't even consider anyone else retiring.
Election night 2016, I was most worried about federal judgeships and the Supreme Court.
I knew Trump would court big business and the top 1% of the rich but he has surpassed my worst fears in all possible ways.
I wish that I had been worried for nothing.
