Ruth Bader Ginsburg honored on new postage stamp

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.”

Pregnenolone,

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.

Gradenko,

The stamp celebrates what USPS calls Ginsburg’s “groundbreaking contributions to justice, gender equality and the rule of law.”

All of which the ultra conservative majority are going to easily toss in the trash because she refused to retire when the Dems had the majority to replace her. She fucked her own legacy so hard it isn’t even funny.

Ginsburg fucked us all over, fuck off.

rosymind,

Yeah. She WAS someone to admire until she died, clinging to a position that she should have allowed to be passed on to a young blood when we had a fighting chance. Her greed for power soured her reputation, and forever ruined her legacy. I hope future generations can at least learn something from this

bradorsomething,

I plan to get a few of these for things that everyone knew I should have should have sent earlier, but now will have grave and far reaching consequences when I send it.

rusticus,

RBG: fought for women’s rights her entire career only to give it away due to hubris.

vivavideri,

I’m still a lil salty ngl

Exactly. It's true she couldn't of known when she'd die, but surely she knew her health was declining.

She should've stepped down while there was a strong chance of her being replaced by someone with views like her's, rather than handing that decision over to her direct opposition like she did.
