Letters to the Editor: Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a cautionary tale for Sen. Dianne Feinstein (via latimesopinion )
Sen. Dianne Feinstein should think carefully about the legacy left by the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg beforeWhile Ginsburg remained clear-minded and thoughtful during her entire service on the court, from 2010 on she was not only the oldest person to serve on the court, she also had several recurrences of cancer. Nonetheless, she clung to the office through a period when a Democratic president and Senate could have assured that her philosophy of law was continued on the bench.
Feinstein must step down, now. We are in an ongoing battle to preserve democracy, the judiciary, the environment and women’s rights, and we need every hand on deck. Feinstein has had an accomplished political career, but because of her health issues, Californians are effectively represented solely by Democrat Alex Padilla in the Senate. With the allocation of two senators per state regardless of population, the already diminished voting power of Californians in the Senate has been cut in half.
