This week, I voted against honoring Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg...

[brooklynite]

My Neighborhood Association was asked by the Brooklyn Borough President to endorse naming the Municipal Building for Justice Ginsburg, a Brooklyn native, in honor of her 25 years on the Court.

I said that, while I have the utmost respect and admiration for Justice Ginsburg, she's still serving as a Government Official. Namings are intended to commemorate someone's cumulative achievements. In her case, those achievements are still being written. There'll be plenty of opportunities to honor her when she retires.

1. She could be deceased before she retires

Of course we'd all like to see her outlive Dolt 45's term in office but at 85 that may not happen.

2. I would think most define "government officials" as members of the Executive Branch

Not justices nor members of Congress.

For that reason, I disagree. I see no conflict of interest in honoring her long service.

3. Curmudgeon. Should have voted for it. NT

4. Agreed

I don't believe that things should be named for the living, but that such honors should be given post mortem and best after a few years to allow history to pass some judgment.

5. God forbid that someone

is still fucking alive to get the honors first hand.
