Los homenajes de los líderes de Maryland para honrar a la jueza de la Corte Suprema, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, no se hicieron esperar tan pronto se conoció la noticia de su muerte. Ginsburg falleció el viernes a los 87 años de “complicaciones del cáncer de páncreas metastásico”, según un comunicado de la Corte Suprema.
Su muerte deja un puesto vacante en la Corte Suprema, semanas antes de las elecciones generales de 2020.
NPR informa que Ginsburg dictó una declaración a su nieta Clara Spera días antes de su muerte, que decía: “Mi deseo más ferviente es que no sea reemplazada hasta que se instale un nuevo presidente”.
El gobernador de Maryland, Larry Hogan, tuiteó sus condolencias por la muerte de Ginsburg: “La jueza de la Corte Suprema, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, fue una jurista venerada, una pionera de los derechos de la mujer y una feroz defensora de la justicia. A lo largo de sus 27 años de servicio en el tribunal más alto de nuestra nación, y varios batallas contra el cáncer, demostró valentía y determinación inquebrantables “.

El ejecutivo del condado, Marc Elrich, calificó a Ginsburg como “un ícono”, al tuitear, “La magistrada de la Corte Suprema, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, fue una pionera, y su presencia en la Corte será extrañada. Nos deja un país más justo. Esta es una pérdida increíble para todos los estadounidenses. Que su memoria sea una bendición para todos nosotros “.

Representantes de Maryland en la Cámara de los Estados Unidos y el Senado Honran a Ginsburg
Así es como los representantes de Maryland en la Cámara y el Senado de los Estados Unidos han estado rindiendo homenaje a Ginsburg en Twitter. Además de tuitear sus condolencias, el senador estadounidense Chris Van Hollen y el representante estadounidense Jamie Raskin también han comentado sobre la reciente declaración del líder de la mayoría del Senado estadounidense, Mitch McConnell, prometiendo llenar la vacante de la Corte Suprema con una persona designada por el presidente Donald Trump.
Words are insufficient to describe the loss to our country. Justice Ginsburg was a trailblazer, a jurist and a public servant. She set a standard of excellence that few will ever match. On this Rosh Hashanah evening, my prayers are with her family and all those who cherished #RBG

America has just suffered another terrible wound with the loss of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an extraordinary Justice and before that a brilliant and dazzling lawyer. May her memory be forever a blessing to her family and her passion for justice be forever a light forward for America.
— Rep. Jamie Raskin (@RepRaskin) September 19, 2020
Appalling that on the night Justice Ginsburg died (Rosh Hoshanah!), Senate Majority Leader McConnell announces he will violate his own rule (and her express wishes) by rushing to replace her. A new low on a high holiday. https://t.co/4UO3xsZekV

This is a painful and devastating loss for our country. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was an American hero, pioneer, and an inspiration to all. Our nation is so much better because of her courage and tireless fight for equality. Rest In Peace, RBG.
— Senator Chris Van Hollen (@ChrisVanHollen) September 19, 2020
We know Trump and McConnell will put their interest over what’s good for the country, but at this grave moment for our country we need at least 4 GOP senators to commit to waiting to act on the Court until after Inauguration Day and seating of a new Congress.

June and I send our prayers and deepest sympathies to the family of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a champion for justice and all Americans. May her memory be a blessing.
