The United States Postal Service on Monday released its postage stamp honoring the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a feminist icon who served for years as the senior-most member of the court’s liberal wing.
The USPS announced last year that it would feature an oil painting of the justice on a “Forever” stamp, which currently costs 66 cents. The painting shows the justice in a black judicial robe and a white collar, which became an iconic part of her wardrobe. Ginsburg died in 2020 at the age of 87.
The stamp celebrates what USPS calls Ginsburg’s “groundbreaking contributions to justice, gender equality and the rule of law.”
Decades of good work, all undone by her stubborn refusal to step down when the time was right.
And now the Supreme Court will lean conservative for decades to come.
I hate to say it, but I think it would have been a liberal win if instead of RBG, another left-leaning Supreme Court judge that was ineffective but stepped down at the right time was nominated instead.
