WASHINGTON, United States — The death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg sounded a warning for American progressives, thousands of whom — wracked with ever-deepening concern for the future — gathered Saturday outside the Supreme Court in Washington to honor the late justice. Earlier, among the anonymous mourners, Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris wended her way discreetly to the front of the crowd. ADVERTISEMENTThe challenge will be to prevent the doyenne of the Supreme Court from being replaced with her ideological opposite, since Trump has pre-selected very conservative candidates. With Ginsburg’s death at age 87, the US Supreme Court could fall into the conservative camp for a long time. Many of the young people there also wanted to thank Ginsburg and to promise they would take up her fight.
