  2. This may not be relevant, but I’m struck by her facial beauty. Wow.

  3. Can someone explain to me why her replacement wouldn’t automatically take her place on Judiciary? McConnell will block all attempts by Dems to appoint judges, including a SC vacancy, should it arise during Biden’s tenure. Schumer doesn’t play hardball and we’ll probably be cheated out of seats like we have been in the past

  4. Wonderful tribute by Schumer. Teary-eyed.

    Maybe some people need to listen to this and it will help them understand why the Democrats stood by her until the very end.
    She actually made people’s lives better. We could all learn from her example.

    RIP, Senator. You’ve earned it.
