Ruth Bader Ginsburg was the oldest member of the Supreme Court, a leading advocate for women’s rights, a liberal icon, and the second woman to serve on the board. His death will not only cause a change in the composition of the nine-member Supreme Court, but could determine the entire interpretation of American law for decades, as there have been five Conservative and four Liberal members on the board so far, another judge Donald Trump-nominated conservative would upset that fragile balance. So far, the president of the United States has seated two federal justices on the Supreme Court, Neil Gorsuch in 2017 and Brett Kavanaugh in 2018, but they have taken the place of federal judges nominated by Republican presidents.
