What was late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's role in the Jack Kirby family settlement with Marvel over character copyrights? Supreme Court procedure may be arcane at times, but the smallest moves by a Justice can have a major impact. #rbg #RIPRBG #scotus 
The Kirby case involved the right to terminate transfers of copyright, which enables creators to reclaim material decades after selling it. Lower courts agreed w/ Marvel that Kirby’s material was work made for hire, which meant it was never owned by Kirby & couldn't be reclaimed.
Because the case was being appealed from the Second Circuit, covering New York, it fell under RBG’s purview - Justices manage cases based on the appellate courts to which they are assigned. ...
What do we do on Sundays? (I mean, before the cleaning, cooking, stopping kids' squabbles, and trying to crack the code of how to fit both work & homeschooling in the coming week). We read! So here's #EyalaReads, your recommended reads about #Africa #WomensRights & #Feminism.
"Grief is a cruel kind of education." Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie wrote how grieving for her father, but also about who he was. It's a beautiful and moving piece. Uncomfortably intimate at times, especially because she has been so private so far.

"Volatile times call for complex and imaginative cultural stories." Read @MsAfropolitan's thoughts about African #feminism and afropolitanism today. (Blogging tip: see how she links back to her own blog when she guest-posts? We learn oh!)

What Ruth Bader Ginsburg means to me.
I’ve read pretty much all of the books written by her or about her.
She was a powerhouse.
When she heard “no” she persisted.
She was class and integrity. She was everything these sad little Republicans are not.
She didn’t whine and

She didn’t whine and
complain. She battled through everything, even from her hospital bed. She wouldn’t have let a bone spur stop her.
To me she really epitomises what an American should be. She was able to disagree and then go to the opera and laugh with those with whom she disagreed.

We lost a truly great American. I hope she inspires many girls and boys to do what is right. To fight for what is right. To fight for what is just. To stand for ethics and dignity. And to be brave and strong in the face of adversity.
#RIPRBG. I will miss you so much.

Thank you, @silverbranchus for hosting an outdoor, physically distanced #Oktoberfest event. Spirits need lifting right now, and you're providing that service. #RIPRBG ❤
Tonight I restore my soul. 🍻 Tomorrow, I get back to work.
Excited to hear @keneshiagrant discuss her book The Great Migration and the Democratic Party: Black Voters and the Realignment of American Politics in the 20th Century up next @AsalhConvention! Other panelists include @profmtp, @dinambar, and @profblmkelley. #ASALH2020

Melanye Price is serving as moderator. This is a good time for us to reflect on why we feel loyalty to the Democratic Party. #ASALH2020
1/ From Rabbi Emily Segal - "there is a Jewish tradition that those who die just before Rosh Hashanah are extraordinarily righteous & truly precious to God. We are taught that each Rosh Hashanah it is written who will live and who will die in the year to come... @caffeinatedrav
2/ "So last Rosh Hashanah, it was determined that RBG would die before this next year came to be...God did not want to let this precious, righteous person go... " #RIPRBG #RoshHashanah @caffeinatedrav
3/ "God wanted to cling on to every second of having this person on earth. But, God is God... and God knows that this person's name is not written in the Book of Life for the year to come...So God waits until the very last possible moment of the year... @caffeinatedrav
Hi friends. A lot of us are sad, scared, and angry today. Here are a few suggestions to turn that emotion into action ❤️ #RIPRBG (1/6) *Image: Lise Talbott

Trump let the cat out of the bag: he expects to invoke the 12th Amendment.
He said: “You think November 3 [decides the election]….at a certain point it goes to Congress.”

Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Back in June, @JoshFoxFilm and I discussed "The Nightmare Scenario" — that Trump can win via a constitutional coup d’état, by invoking the 12th Amendment.
Here’s how it could happen… GOPs vote in person, Dems by mail. The result? Election night count shows Trump landslide; exit polls show Trump landslide. As mail-in ballots reverse the race, Trump tweets "rigged!”
I’m attending WI 2020 Victory’s event, “WI Roundtable to Discuss the Violence Against Women Act and Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women” – sign up now to join me! mobilize.us/wi2020victory/… #mmiw #mmiwg #vawa #wisdems
Arvina Martin @Arvina4WI introduces Rep. Beth Meyers, and @beth_rep introduces @HeidiHeitkamp. All acknowledge and honor the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She would want us to continue the fight to protect women. #MMIW #MMIWG #RIPRBG
Heitkamp: VAWA passing was a collaborative effort. Led by Democrats, supported by some Republicans. COngress failed to reauthorize the act. Why? Fight about: Are we going to include LGBTQ+? How will we show up in unique situation of Indigenous/Tribal women?
In 1999, Justice Ginsburg married my best friends Hassan Jabareen and Rina Rosenberg in her Supreme Court chamber. They couldn’t marry in Israel where civil marriage is not possible.
During the ceremony RBG read a piece from The Prophet by Khalil Gibran on Love and Marriage.

.@RinaRosenberg: “On many occasions she expressed support and appreciation for the work of @AdalahEnglish and she always encouraged us to continue the struggle for justice.” #RIPRBG
With Rina and Hassan’s permission, I’m sharing more details on how Justice Ginsburg met them and agreed to officiate their wedding at the US Supreme Court. It all started at @SalzburgGlobal seminar in Austria which RBG attended several times over the past years.
THREAD: Here's a roundup of the stories my amazing @newsbusters family cranked out last night on #RIPRBG. First, you have @NickFondacaro on @NBCNightlyNews remembering her as a partly ‘moderate’ justice, fear Trump and McConnell filling seat newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicho…
Next, we have @ScottJW on Maddow and Hillary mourning together #RIPRBG --> Maddow to Hillary: Your Loss and Ginsburg Death Equal ‘Feminist Catastrophe’ newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/scott…
Sticking with MSNBC, Kristine Marsh flagged this. You would think the left would mock this mercilessly if it happened on FNC after a conservative's death #RIPRBG -> NY Mag writer starts crying at 'horrifying' reality Supreme Court could overturn Roe newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/krist…
Cards, flowers, and candles line the sidewalk outside the Supreme Court today following the death of Justice Ginsburg. More on the fight to replace her coming up on @CBSThisMorning #RIPRBG
Tributes continue to pour in for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg outside the SCOTUS #RBGLegacy
Remarkable scene outside SCOTUS as hundreds gather to pay tribute to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg #SCOTUSnominee #RBG
I join my friends in the US in mourning an icon... one who turned dissent into victory. #RIPRBG

#RuthBaderGinsburg is walking w/ the ancestors now. We thank you, mother Ruth, for your indomitable spirit. We honor you for daring to dream a world where law sees women as FULLY human. You held on as long as you could; made good on your promise to fight till your last day. 1/
Thank you, Ma’am. ((Deep bow))

We need to remind all GOP senators of their previous stance. Hopefully this thread helps. Copy these tweets and tweet them back at them repeatedly. #RIPRBG #RBG

Ruth Bader Ginsburg muere a los 87 años.
La jueza de la Corte Suprema de los EEUU fue una pionera en la igualdad de género y sus opiniones y acciones la convirtieron en una heroína de izquierda.
Pese a su edad era adorada por los jóvenes, quienes la dedicaron raps y memes

El Tribunal Supremo confirmó que la segunda mujer en ocupar un cargo en el Supremo murió tras sufrir complicaciones por un cáncer de páncreas.
Todo indica a que Trump presentará a un nominado para ocupar el puesto vitalicio que RBG ha dejado pronto, según fuentes cercanas al presidente.
La semana pasada, Trump nombró posibles candidatos a los senadores Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz y Josh Hawley.

Don't worry, you guys, McConnell will do the right thing and hold up SCOTUS nominations because it’s an election year, right? #RIPRBG
Just want to remind Lisa Murkowski that she said she wouldn't vote to approve another SCOTUS justice after Kavanaugh.
Mitch McConnell said this ONE HOUR after Scalia died:
“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.”
This was a full 7 months before the 2016 election.

This was a full 7 months before the 2016 election.
🚨 RBG has died.
“In a statement dictated to her granddaughter Clara Spera days before her death, she said, ‘My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new President is installed.’”
Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed away.
I can't tell you how sad I am to lose her, and how fearful I am that the GOP is about to forever ruin the Supreme Court.
