#40 RBG 逝く

ただただ、ショックです。

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Champion Of Gender Equality, Dies At 87

87歳で、ご自宅で亡くなられたとのこと。
ご冥福をお祈り申し上げます。

以下のNPRの記事にも書かれていますが、上院の院内総務のマコーネル上院議員は、ギンズバーグ判事の後任選びを進めるのに意欲的。

At the center of the battle to achieve that will be Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. In 2016, he took a step unprecedented in modern times: He refused for nearly a year to allow any consideration of President Barack Obama's Supreme Court Nominee.

Back then, McConnell's justification was the upcoming presidential election, which he said would allow voters a chance to weigh in on what kind of justice they wanted. But now, with the tables turned, McConnell has made clear he will not follow the same course. Instead he will try immediately to push through a Trump nominee so as to ensure a conservative justice to fill Ginsburg's liberal shoes, even if President Trump were to lose his re-election bid. Asked what he would do in circumstances like these, McConnell said: "Oh, we'd fill it."

大統領選の大きな争点となります。。。

ああ、このタイミングで。。。

ただひたすら、ショック。。。
RIP, RBG...
