I hate when writers make a bold claim like that, “complicated” and never elaborate.

She had some bad decisions on criminal law, but I doubt that’s what’s being complained about here. And her decisions were bad in that they generally went with the status quo on criminal justice, which is hardly a niche opinion. 

What a whiny bunch of nonsense this post is. How was RBG’s career “complicated?”

I would say that Jezebel is better than this tripe, but it’s not and hasn’t been in quite awhile. This isn’t even disappointing because it’s so predictable.

Neither is she. That would require more research and thought than is put into any Jezebel article, ever.

This is not the first time I’ve read something where RBG was praised, but also referred to as complicated or problematic. I’m not sure what that is referring to?

Meh. Symbols can be co-opted, and this one was co-opted the minute they placed her. No one who visits the city thinks of the statue as connected or relating to the financial industry. No tourist or resident looks at her thinks “Boy, isn’t Wall Street great for commissioning this?”

so do they wish to think of Ginsburg and her legacy as being purely inspiring and uncomplicated.

When I first started reading I thought “ugh must we give her any coverage at all?” but I actually think bringing up her documented racism in a time that she’s trying to rehabilitate her image is important.

I’m sure the fact that she is irrelevant now just galls her. In my mind, the first thing I think of is “famous for being famous.” She’s gross and I hope her ass gets dragged for this shit, it’s long overdue.

Or she attended a fundraising dinner...

Reading about her engagement to him threw a lot of red flags. It’s one thing to love someone much older than you, but she made some potentially disparaging comments about his daughter’s real mom. Something about how she’ll be the “hottest” mom in existence. Overall she seemed scummy. I’m not surprised by this. 

Screaming about “don’t let anyone tell you I’m not a good man” is like an essential hallmark of a not-good man. 

OMG I didn’t know that David Foster had married someone who could be his daughter again. He is SO GROSS.

Jesus fucking christ, Harron. Can you take 5 seconds to actually look up what you’re writing about beforehand?

The Rob Reiner thing immediately marks you as a complete ignorant.

THIS is why nobody takes young progressives seriously, by the way. None of you actually know anything, and you take every opportunity to parade…

And seems to trade in trophy wives on the regular for the new model.

Of course Katherine McPhee is a Republican. Due to her sadly apparent daddy issues, all she screws is dudes with a full head of grey hair who are old enough to be her grandpa. It’s in her best interest to be a Republican so she has something in common with these old farts. Sweetie.....

David Foster is a truly vile egomaniac who financed a documentary about himself which appeared on Canadian TV. 

I don’t know what her political allegiances were earlier, but she married David Foster in 2019 and he looks like someone who would support NRSC.

I am (pleasantly?) surprised she wasn’t straight-up run off the platform for being average looking, and clearly a 35 year old trying to masquerade as a “young.”
