NEWS INTRO

--------------------------

In today's news, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsberg has passed away on Friday at the age of 87 following a long fight with cancer. She was first appointed to the court in 1993 and championed for women's rights - often writing strongly worded dissenting opinions of court rulings. Now begins the search for a new nominee to fill the vacancy which historically hasn't happened during an election year, but may move forward in the combative political environment the US currently holds.

possibilities are endless.

2. But I heard it's going to be the best one ever.

1: Maybe since we have Mr. Bischoff, he'll let us turn it in late.

Mr B on loudspeaker: I guess that's ok, but just for you.

2: I think he forgot we are still on the air.

Mr B yelling at control booth
