What Happens When We Lose a National Hero a Moment When the Entire US Government Faces a Crisis of Legitimacy?

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a rarity in Washington, a true hero, one of those voices who would not be silenced by conventional wisdom or the zeitgeist or politics or the pushback of the powerful.  Her loss therefore is not simply the loss of a dependably progressive viewpoint on America’s highest court, it is of a true leader and individual of integrity at a moment when those are a rarity in Washington.  The entire US government is, at this moment, suffering from a crisis of legitimacy from which it cannot recover without a new generation–and an army–of RBGs.  We discuss with Rosa Brooks of Georgetown Law Center, Mieke Eoyang of the Third Way and Edward Luce of the Financial Times.  Join us.
