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.

and you will be able to squeeze blood from the dirt!

[M-cubed]

EXACTLY!!!....and the Supreme Courts only job is to INTERPERT their INTENT at the time....

a reasonably smart HS graduate that has read the Federalist papers and the writings of their time could EASILY render a just verdict WITHOUT a law degree!

[billhilly]

Thank you. It’s pretty clear, isn’t it?

[Las Vegas Ron]

Yes you would, but not in this....

[Las Vegas Ron]

Oooops, should be, yes you would think so

[mojitojoe]

Try THAT and they will need buckets to catch the lead.

If a fight ahead is coming, we better have organization and a plan or it will come to naught .

Heller.

Ginsberg is a Jew, so what, Scalia is Italian, Thomas is black, do we deride their decisions base on their ethnicity or race?

I can deride Ginsberg for whatever reason I choose. As a Jew who works to educate other Jews in the ways of Conservatism, it doesn't help to have a Marxist insect like Ginsberg as an example for them.

[machogirl]

they are VERY transparent in what they plan to do.

[popdonnelly]

This woman is a liberal cluck who would like to take your guns away.

[machogirl]

That only applies to abortion cases.

Post when she eventually dies, and where she’s buried...........there’s an old Southern ritual I’d like to perform........

[grey_whiskers]

stare decisis only applies to Roe v. Wade?

Cheers!

Wow, you do have a chip on your shoulder.

Instead of educating them as Jews, try doing it as Americans unites for a common cause, imo, that could be a good start.

As far as your insult of telling be to shove it up my ass earlier, I find that highly unbecoming as a FReeper, especially a long time one but I'll admit, it was hard not to respond in kind, FRiend

Boy you really have no clue. I shouldn't have wasted my time with a reply.

Go for it. As patronizing as you are I'm surprised you didn't.

Bader Ginsburg may be retiring next year, before the ‘Rats lose their numbers in the Senate.

[EDINVA]

Her statement strikes me as grossly unprofessional.

[Las Vegas Ron]

So enlighten me, that's what we do here.

Go for it. As patronizing as you are I'm surprised you didn't.

That's what is or used to be called class, or respect, remember?
