New York, Sep 19 (EFE/EPA).- Hundreds of mourners on Saturday gathered at vigils in New York for the progressive judge of the US Supreme Court Ruth Bader Ginsburg who died at the age of 87 from "complications" of the pancreatic cancer she suffered. Ginsburg had served on the Supreme Court for nearly three decades, arriving in 1993 as the second woman in history to serve on this court, after a career dedicated to feminist causes and civil rights.The health of the magistrate, due to her advanced age, has had the country in suspense, especially the progressive ranks, who feared that if Ginsburg left the Supreme Court, her replacement would be chosen by President Donald Trump. This would expand the existing conservative majority of the most important court in the country.The Supreme Court is made up of nine judges with life positions, currently five conservative and four progressive.
