Today’s Highlight in History:

In 1863, the first thoroughbred horse races took place at the Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York. In 1949, the National Basketball Association was formed as a merger of the Basketball Association of America and the National Basketball League. In 1981, U.S. air traffic controllers went on strike, despite a warning from President Ronald Reagan they would be fired, which they were.

Many thanks to RBG for her service to our great nation these past 27 years. Unfortunately since then our elected leaders on both sides of the aisle have politicized the court & failed the American people by confirming SCOTUS justices with a simple majority. FailedLeadership

Where's Waldo?

R.I.P. RBG

Very sad day

Sad day in history for America and women. She doesn’t represent me.

Best thing to happen to justice since the lady with the scale....

On this day in 1993 I was fighting for my life in the hospital. No wonder I didn’t know when she was confirmed. There’s a lot I missed that year. I wish her the best🙏🏼❤️

To this very day she remains brilliant, ethical, effective and beloved. GodBlessRBG

This dead lady?

Oh boy. Never spike the football before you’re in the end zone.

What a horrible mistake now she is on her death bed and still will not retire Everyone knows her staff is doing everything for her she falls asleep during court.

I love you, SCJRuth, you're one of my heroes

RBG Day!

😆🤣.....Bader 😴 ever since. Psst 🛌

Go RBG

Those were the days when nominees were judged by their qualifications, and not so much by their politics and ideology.

Floating a eulogy it premature.

It’s nice to remember mistakes. May help prevent them from being done in the future

96 to 3?! Ah, the good old days. Vote for what's best for the nation instead of the party.

SupremeCourt another good reason to VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

So in 1993 we had 3 senators with a functioning brain.

Pure trash

That was back in the day when the constitution, law & bipartisanship for the good of America mattered. CNN ChrisCuomo MSNBC

My best wishes to RBG! When justice nominee approved by vote of 96-3,it tells he/she is very good professional.

👎

anonymousparty2 One of the shiniest days in this Country! The gift that keeps on giving no matter the obstacles. She will forever be enshrined in the history of our Supreme Court and this Republic!

Who were the three knuckleheads?

jkbjournalist So, one of the worst days in history, got it.

On this day in 2020, is still censoring billclintonisapedo and abandoning journalism.

jkbjournalist Which were the 3 who voted against her?

She is truly amazing!

Eulogy prep already?

GMA Time for her to retire!!!

Time to say goodbye and let the younger generation in....

It is a shame she decides moral issues for our country and has no morals.

I remember seeing her and Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan walk in the halls with a ton of people during her confirmation hearing process

Maybe we should appoint people younger than 60?

Long live RBG......the strongest woman in America....in mind, spirit, guts, intellect, critical thinking: may we have a SCOTUS with 9 RBG

She’s the main reason I’m voting for Biden.. I don’t care if he walks around the White House buck naked once he’s president, I just don’t care for another trump judge for a lifetime appointment.

On this day: In 2020 she should retire

Extremely telling of the shift that the Republican Party has gone through. They wouldn’t even confirm her today.

If only we could get 8 more of her on the court...
