On Thursday, Dec. 17, Justice Ginsburg spoke at a luncheon of the Harvard Club of Washington, D.C. I was not present at the luncheon, but I have heard, third-hand, that she spoke on the value of dissenting opinions. She said that sometimes a dissent can become the majority of a “future, wiser court.” As an example, she pointed to the dissent in District of Columbia v. Heller.

what a senile .....(cant continue or Ill get banned )

No,not senile.It's worse than that.Utterly amoral is what she is....and,I'll wager,has been since she was in her teens.

Whatever happened to stare decisis?

Stare Decisis only matters if it upholds a liberal precedent. It doesn't matter if the marxists want to throw away a ruling that actually upholds the Constitution.

Think how quickly the libtards overruled Bowers v. Hardwick with Lawrence v. Texas.

13 years. Stare Decisis be damned.

My investment advice:

Invest in survival items.
Invest in pitchforks.

Go long on America as our Founding Fathers established her.

We are one ruling away from a total gun ban.

Think big my FRiend, it's God given rights that we are giving away via infant crying type of voting for full government direction at the cost of religion and respect for a creator proper.

[Lurker]

You forgot the tar and feathers. We’re going to need lots and lots of that.

[muddler]

Probably not a real good time to be stirring the shit your judgeship.

[darkangel82]

Injustice Ginsberg, you are a complete idiot. That’s all I have to say.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Dred was made moot by the 13th Amendment, not being “overridden”, which is impossible, since the Supreme Court can't override itself.

[Trod Upon]

At least we have the satisfaction of knowing the old whore won’t be here to see it.

[pyx]

Maybe America could sleep through
such a decision like Ruth Ginsberg.

[Venturer]

Justice Ginsberg ,needs to remember the rule , that it is better to be quiet and be thought an idiot than to open your mouth and prove it.

Yet ANOTHER easy-to-spot "female" Liberal, trying to impose her philosophy on males to get even.....

[ml/nj]

This, from a woman who has difficulty speaking coherent sentences! (I've been there. I've listened. I know.)

another wise latino woman?

[RnMomof7]

I wonder if a wiser court might overrule Roe?...Ohh of course not THAT is “settled law”

[Las Vegas Ron]

Indeed, I just meant to point out that precedents are not always correct, to wit: Roe V Wade, eg.

[maddog55]

I’ll continue.. “what a senile .....BITCH!!”

That’s on the laid back side of what I want to say...

[billhilly]

It has been tried and proved over the centuries that the founding fathers were wise beyond anything we have or likely will see in the future.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

We are one ruling away from a total gun ban.

We are one shot away from revolution. Always have been.

[ScottinVA]

Hopefully soon, Ginsburg will go room temp and travel on to meet the Creator... she’ll have a lot of ‘splainin’ to do. Until then, she remains a danger to what remains of this nation.
