As national dialogue around Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s quickly turned to the political battle that would ensue over her replacement on the U.S. Supreme Court, local lawyers wanted to make sure time was reserved to mourn the legal icon and trailblazer.
Dozens of San Antonio residents gathered Saturday evening at the Bexar County Courthouse to celebrate Ginsburg’s life and service.
“Our fear was so many were rushing to discuss who would replace her that not enough time would be spent to remember her and what she did for this country,” said lawyer Marisa Bono, a co-organizer of the vigil.
