Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought to the end, through her cancer, with unwavering faith in our democracy and its ideals. That’s how we remember her. But she also left instructions for how she wanted her legacy to be honored. My statement: obama.medium.com/my-statement-o…
@BarackObama According to Jewish tradition, a person who dies on Rosh Hashanah, which began tonight, is a tzaddik, a person of great righteousness. “Baruch Dayan HaEmet." (Blessed is the righteous judge.)
@BarackObama The republicans have no respect for her wishes nor for the moral thing to do. I have 2 words for them: Merrick Garland.
@BarackObama "instructions" Seriously dude, just go away.
@BarackObama We honor her by voting for Biden and flipping the Senate. Game on.
@BarackObama "Hope is the bedrock of this nation; the belief that our destiny will not be written for us, but by us." – Barack Obama
@BarackObama Her “instructions” have zero legal bearing. The Supreme Court isn’t an inheritance to be passed down.
@BarackObama She left “Instructions”, which don’t supersede the document she swore to uphold. It’s time to appointment a new judge.
@BarackObama In regard to the SCOTUS seat she was occupying, it doesn’t matter what Ginsberg wanted It’s not like she owned the seat and can ‘will’ it to someone else.
@BarackObama If I put in my will that I’d like Congress to pass a balanced budget amendment, does that mean they’re obligated to enact one?
