I’ve got good news and bad. The good news is you’re the first black woman to serve on The Supreme Court. The bad news is that same court is pretty much a rubber-stamping kangaroo court, stacked against you with a bunch of lying, partisan hacks who don’t care about The Constitution, so…uh…have to it.
At least she’s helping document history in her dissents? I’m sure people will take them seriously in 90 years when this happens again.
This woman is amazing. I hope she gets the big seat someday.

That’s not how it works in the US.
Edit: In many other countries the most senior justice becomes the chief justice by seniority, and I was saying that’s not how it works in the US. But it looks like there have been four times when an associate justice has been “promoted” to chief justice, which I didn’t realize. The first being John Rutledge in 1795 and Rehnquist being the most recent in 1986.
This woman is a national treasure.
