Somebody on my FB feed posted this comment by Marianne Williamson: "she died literally hours before the setting sun that ushers in Rosh Hashanah. According to the tenets of Judaism, the most righteous souls die at such an hour. And she was such a righteous soul." And as far as resigning goes, she said there was no way the Senate would have confirmed a young liberal judge anyway. But it does feel as though we are the ones facing the apocalypse.
There was a lame duck Democratic Senate during Obama's first two years. They certainly would have confirmed a liberal or moderate democratic judge in his/her 40s or 50s.

Yeah but I don't think it came up then.
It did. I read that obama discussed it with her.
My favorite so far. Beautifully written and insightful!
Thanks Amy, I was thinking of trying to get it pubbed somewhere but I decided to publish it here.
