September 18 marked the devastating death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Ginsburg was appointed to the Supreme Court under President Bill Clinton in 1993, and after nearly 27 years of judicial service, she lost her battle with pancreatic cancer at age 87.

Throughout her career, Ginsburg channeled her judicial power to further humanitarian rights. Ginsburg’s activism elevated her status as a popular culture icon, becoming one of the most prominent Justices on the Supreme Court.

Ginsburg’s death arrives during a tumultuous political era. With less than 50 days until this November’s presidential election, many wonder who will choose Ginsburg’s successor. As reported by NPR, Ginsburg’s final words were, “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”

President Trump, who has replaced two of the nine Supreme Court Justices, and Senate Republicans hope to fill the vacancy before the November election. Senate Democrats plan to fulfill Ginsburg’s wishes and allow the victor of this November’s election to fill her vacancy.

President Trump has yet to announce his proposed nominee to fill the Court’s vacancy.

Until Ginsburg’s successor has been named, let us all consume her now former wisdom: “Fight for the things you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.”
