You just have to look at who runs this foundation. I feel bad for Justice Ginsburg's family and totally understand their outrage. Milken, Murdock, Musk and Stewart. Two felons and two who should be convicted of felonies being honored. AJMO

But -- as I read it, the family only mentions women's rights.

I have not noticed this group speaking out on erosion of women's rights in other areas at any other time.

From my understanding it's just the ceremony aka gala that is being canceled.

I seriously thought this was a joke. The RBG award being given to Elon Musk and Michael Milken? What?

Musk I can understand, but not sure about Milken.
