Taking the question literally, I'll say Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
She was on HELL of a legal mind but goddammit why didn’t she retire when Obama could have appointed her replacement. The fucking hubris.
Here's your hero, a lot more wrong than simple hubris
she was a horrible racist ghoul among many awful things
I don't doubt that, I haven't looked into it, but her life didn't affect me as strongly as her death.
Why would her death affect you if you don't know about her life?
That makes zero sense.
Because the timing of her death triggered the court to (eventually) go majority bonkers.
