Supreme Court says Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died of cancer at age 87

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a diminutive yet towering women’s rights champion who became the court’s second female justice, died Friday at her home in Washington. She was 87. “This is an important time,” said Angela Evans, Dean of the LBJ School of Public Affairs. While President Trump is expected to nominate a conservative to the seat, Evans says the political ramifications for the Supreme Court are more nuanced. “You don’t know where the nominee’s pensions are,” said Evans. “Like somebody who is a strict constructionist and really goes to the constitution like an Antonin Scalia, or whether it’s someone like a John Roberts."
