We begin on Friday, September 18th, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passes away at the age of 87 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. After a rally in Minnesota, President Trump learns of her death and reacts by calling her an “amazing woman” who led an “amazing life.”

Given Trump’s knack for coming off as petty and uncouth, it was a classy response from the president and sets the example for his base that while there’s a Supreme Court fight that is supposed to get pretty nasty ahead, there’s little reason to dance on the grave of an ideological opponent.
