After Friday’s landmark SCOTUS decision, which was overturned on Friday, supporters of abortion have raged against former President Donald Trump and red states. Roe v Wade. Now they’ve set their sights on a new target—the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was known for her support of women’s rights and famously earned the nickname the “Notorious RGB.”
There’s even an RGB action figure for you to purchase, should you be so inclined. In 2017, she described herself as a “flaming feminist litigator,” but none of that is apparently enough to avoid rabid criticism from the Left.
Her crime? Her crime? Not allowing Barack Obama to become president. In 2020, at the age of 87 she died. Trump took her place with Conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett. Had RGB retired when she was “just” 85 or so, Obama presumably would have appointed Judge Merrick Garland, who almost certainly would not have ruled against Roe.
Scott Feinberg, columnist for the Column, suggests that her legacy has been marred by her refusal of stepping down.
RBG was hero in many ways. The terrible irony of it all is her inability to leave the party for too long, which led to the demise of something she loved the most. Unfortunately, it will remain a major part of her legacy.

Some fanatics could be even more naive, and would not hesitate to attack a decedent.
Ruth Bader Ginsberg slow roasts in hell https://t.co/tPfqUuXxJp

They are overlooking the simple fact that nearly no one believed Donald Trump would win against Hillary Clinton in 2016. Ginsburg could not see a way to continue her tenure for another few years. Three days prior to the election, a poll indicated that Hillary was at 99 percent chance of winning. It seems a little twisted to fault Ginsburg’s apparent logic that there was nothing to fear by staying on the job.
Other unhinged tweet reads, “Reminder: Ruth Bader Ginsberg opted to die in her seat under Trump instead of pave the way for an appropriate replacement under Obama. The road to hell is paved with white feminism.”
What do you think?
Liberals have become quite vile. My colleague Jeff Charles reports on the repeated use of the “N-word” on Twitter in recent days to describe Justice Clarence Thomas. It’s not surprising then, that besides Ginsburg, they’re also turning on others on their own side. Even former President Obama, a cult-like figure in the Democratic party, can’t escape the heat. Writes freelance journalist Eoin Higgins:
This was possible thanks to RBG today.
We are grateful to Obama that he did not recess in appointing Scalia or Garland, as your inaction helped to make this happen.
Ouch. Barack isn’t going to like that. And you didn’t think Biden would escape unscathed, did you? Thomas Cunningham is a screenwriter:
The Dems refused Codify Roe even when they had the power to. RBG wouldn’t retire until Obama had her replaced. Biden promised he’s codify Roe. Didn’t. Trump winning is one aspect. Another part is Dem failure.
Not to be left out of course is the Left’s favorite boogeyman, Orange Bad Man. The Washington Post writes simply, “For the fall of Roe V. Wade, thank Donald Trump.”
The Left was going to freak out, we knew. RoeThey were overturned, would slam Trump and SCOTUS and Clarence Thomas and Republicans with their incendiary, overheated rhetoric. What’s interesting to see here is them turning on their own icons like Obama, RGB, and Biden. It’s hard not to feel a little schadenfreude in watching them eat their own. As the saying goes, they’re getting a little taste of their own medicine.
RGB deserves an enormous shoutout because they persevered to the end. We wouldn’t be celebrating today’s glorious victory in life if she had resigned under Obama. pic.twitter.com/TRvLkyhgYE
