Ruth Bader Ginsburg's army of clerks to stand guard at the Supreme Court

(CNN) When Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg returns for the final time to the Supreme Court on Wednesday, an army of more than a hundred of her former clerks will meet the casket and accompany it up the stone steps leading to the great hall where the liberal icon presided for almost 30 years.
The Supreme Court, built on precedent and rooted in tradition, will honor Ginsburg in a private ceremony and then a public viewing, but her former clerks, standing guard, won't leave the casket.
Besides her family and written opinions, Ginsburg's clerks are her most lasting legacy. They began their tenures as young inexperienced lawyers and emerged with unparalleled legal credentials that will mark their resumes for a lifetime: Supreme Court clerk.
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214120460I always wondered why people took to calling her The Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It must be because she was notoriously racist. In all the years that she was on the Supreme Court and hiring over one hundred clerks, she only hired one black clerk. The primitives will rationalize her racism because she would have certainly ruled against any corporation that hired less than 1% black employees that came before her to be judged.

2. watching the casket arrival live now...
...We lost a true national treasure. She may have only been 5'1", but she was a giant.

That's a whoooole lot of racism in such a small package.
Will journos notice RBG’s race problem at her funeral?

Roll Call is reporting that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s former law clerks as “honorary pallbearers and will line the front steps of the Supreme Court as her casket arrives Wednesday morning”:

https://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2020/09/22/will-journos-notice-rbgs-race-problem-at-her-funeral/If President Trump nominates Amy Coney Barrett the primitives can console themselves that although this goes against the Notoriously Racist RBG's dying wish, Barrett is white and as such probably won't cause Ginsburg to spin in her grave. So Trump's choice, by not choosing one of the blacks that she would have found so detestable, is in keeping--in spirit anyway--with Ginsburg's dying wish.
