Mourners continue to pay tribute outside the US Supreme Court to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died on Friday. And that example is still here, and her legacy can still inspire us.” Dozens of people rallied around the US’s top court on Saturday morning to honour Ginsburg and celebrate her decades-long legacy. Alisha Harris, a recent graduate in public policy from the University of Chicago who was wearing a Black Lives Matter mask outside the court on Saturday, said “it is difficult” not to question Ginsburg’s refusal to retire early in the Obama presidency. Harris acknowledged Ginsburg’s advocacy for civil rights, but she said lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court are an impediment to progress in the US because they prevent the court from reflecting a shifting ideological spectrum. by Kelli Midgley, teacher Earlier on Saturday, mourners’ solemn chants of “R-B-G” near the steps of the Supreme Court were interrupted by a young man in a black suit who said he was a Trump supporter.
