Meanwhile, our almost useless "opposition" party is going to collaborate in confirming Kagan, who I'm sure agrees with Ginsburg.
Here’s my good idea Justice Ginsberg -
APPLY THE US CONSTITUTION AS WRITTEN! PERIOD!!!
No legislation without representation.
If they insist on going down this route, the SC should be elected every two years.
Which I am guessing won’t meet with their approval.
THIS is the kind of baggage that’s going to doom Gingrich’s chance to be President. The image if him and Nancy sitting on the couch is etched into my memory and I can’t get it out.
NO you unqualified twit!
The U.S. Constitution is THE ONLY document you are authorized to consult!
For perspective, read the Federalist Papers.
How about we try Saudi law for a while and we can start by throwing homosexuals off buildings!
Ginzburg never impressed me with her modicum of wisdom, that’s for sure.
Ginsburg and Kagan are two peas in a pod!
Ginsburg’s flaw is that she doesn’t see any exceptionalism in the history of the US and the perfection of our legal system compared to any other on the planet. (Very much like Obama). She views the middle east as a place to “learn from” as well as Communist Cuba and Russia. She is a deluded, non-thinking Progressive who does not believe in Moral Absolutes but bows down to false gods. Her reasoning is twisted and she believes in the power of the State to impose her type of (non) reasoning on the masses. The State knows what is best for the individual.....oh, that “common good” and end justifies the means cr*p.
IF the Constitution has no say on the subject
IF the law has no say on the subject
IF stare decisis has no say on the subject
IF orbiter dicta has no say on the subject
THEN you can look to foreign sources non-binding inspiration as long as those sources do not disagree with any of the above.
We are a common-law country, which means the courts are allowed to make law.
Her former colleague Sandra Day O'Connor said pretty much the same thing.
And WHO is to determine WHAT foreign laws should be looked at for “good ideas”???
Perhaps a Muslim Supreme Court Judge in the future - GO HELP US - would choose to review Saudi Laws and Sharia practices.
What this woman and her former colleague is stating is what many statists and globalists have felt for some time.
When you reject the uniqueness of America and its political system - which really IS unique as any serious student of history can tell you, than any old law anywhere on the globe is relevant to our society.
I hate these creatures like Bader_Ginsburg more than anyone can imagine, but the REAL villains here are the shallow-minded Americans who helped put the creature who nominated her into the Oval Office, who continue to elect the same gutless serial career office holding criminals who approve people like her, who stand by and allow comments like this to go unpunished.
And this regard, the GOP is as culpable as the Democrats.
They allowed ONE judge who thinks just like this miscreant - Soto-Mayor, to be appointed, and are about to allow another, Kagan, to be put on the bench. They do this without a whimper, without a complaint, with a hint or suggestion of a threatened filibuster.
Congress needs to be cleaned out even more than the Oval Office. Replace all those over-compensated and over-perked elitists with decent patriotic Americans and the Marxist in the White House will be powerless to harm us.
Our Constitution has all the “good ideas” needed.
We could look to Mexico for inspiration WRT immigration laws, give’em a dose of their own medicine.
The same Ginsburg who wrote a paper in support of lowerng the age of consent for sex between an adult and a minor to 11 yers old.
Such a statement ought to be grounds for impeachment. As the Declaration of Independence said about George III, “He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws...”
OMG!
TREASON!
As a woman, I have to wholeheartedly say, “No more women on the Supreme Court.”
For some reason, guys just can’t pick sane women to judge at the highest level.
