A vigil in honor of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg last Saturday evening brought 300 people out (masked and socially distanced) to the Santa Barbara Courthouse, with many more joining via live-stream. Speakers at the event, including CA Representative Monique Limon, highlighted the importance of Justice Ginsburg’s accomplishments and how to continue her critical work for human rights.
The Vigil included a memorial area with roses and candles, and projection of images of RBG on the Courthouse wall, and was organized by Women’s March Santa Barbara, Planned Parenthood Central Coast Action Fund, and Santa Barbara Women’s Political Committee, to join with others nationally to honor Justice Ginsburg.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was one of a kind. A fighter, a pioneer, a legal genius–a legend. We stand in gratitude for her and her work, and we are getting ready to fight to protect that legacy, our rights, and our journey toward collective liberation.
Barrett is on record saying she wants to end church/state separation and make the government a theocracy. That species of reactionary will be spit on by history
There were female judge’s in the US before Ginsburg was even born
Since 1789, there have only been 459 female judges appointed to the federal bench versus 3325 male judges. The first woman to be appointed to any federal judicial position was in 1908 to the U.S. Customs Court. It then took another 26 years for another woman to appointed to the federal judiciary in 1934. Ginsburg was born in 1933.
It wasn’t until Gerald Ford that there were even 10 women to ever serve as federal judges, so I don’t think this point is as strong as you think.

You’re so right. Amy Coney Barrett is her name.
The only correct thing about Conserv’s comment is that Barrett would not be able to be a judge if it weren’t for Ginsburg’s work. If only Barrett remembered that.
My point was to solely refute the quote: “Barrett would not be able to be a judge if it weren’t for Ginsburg’s work”. There is not a scintilla of proof that this is the case.
