Has died at the age of 90.
She did so many good things to advance the rights of marginalized people during her career, but unfortunately I suspect that she'll be remembered not for her earlier accomplishments, but for her refusal (and the refusal of those caring for her) to step down when it was clear that she was no longer competent to serve.

It was extremely sad that someone didn't have POA after her latest stroke and retire her with some dignity but it seems more and more like you have to check your dignity at the door when you enter any politics nowadays.

Something tells me that someone did have POA, but chose not to activate it - after all she was *needed* in the senate!
