Today's Highlighted Video Story:  As word of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death spread on Friday, tributes quickly poured in from celebrities, athletes, and Democrats and Republicans alike. Donald Trump said Ginsburg, who died at age 87 of complications from metastatic pancreas cancer, "was an amazing woman" who "led an amazing life". The US president's remarks came shortly after a rally in Minnesota where he said one reason the upcoming presidential election is so important is because of possible Supreme Court vacancies.
