(ChurchLeaders) With just six weeks until Americans choose a president, a SCOTUS vacancy has made the stakes of the election higher than ever. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the second woman to sit on the country’s highest court, died Friday at age 87.
A liberal icon who supported equal rights and abortion rights, Ginsburg reportedly said her dying wish was to not be replaced until the next president was selected. But a battle is now underway to fill Ginsburg’s seat before the November 3 election.
