“Radical statists” - I prefer the term, “state supremacists.”
“The state may not unfairly discriminate directly or indirectly against anyone on one or more grounds, including race, gender, sex, pregnancy, marital status, ethnic or social origin, colour, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language and birth.
Everyone has the right to fair labour practices.
Every worker has the right:
to form and join a trade union;
to participate in the activities and programmes of a trade union; and
to strike.
Every employer has the right:
to form and join an employers’ organisation; and
to participate in the activities and programmes of an employers’ organisation.
Every trade union and every employers’ organisation has the right:
to determine its own administration, programmes and activities;
to organise; and
to form and join a federation.
Everyone has the right:
to an environment that is not harmful to their health or well-being; and
to have the environment protected, for the benefit of present and future generations, through reasonable legislative and other measures that
prevent pollution and ecological degradation;
promote conservation; and
secure ecologically sustainable development and use of natural resources while promoting justifiable economic and social development.
Everyone has the right to have access to adequate housing. The state must take reasonable legislative and other measures, within its available resources, to achieve the progressive realisation of this right.
Everyone has the right to have access to:
health care services, including reproductive health care;
sufficient food and water; and
social security, including, if they are unable to support themselves and their dependants, appropriate social assistance.
The state must take reasonable legislative and other measures, within its available resources, to achieve the progressive realisation of each of these rights.
No one may be refused emergency medical treatment.
Every child has the right:
to a name and a nationality from birth;
to family care or parental care, or to appropriate alternative care when removed from the family environment;
to basic nutrition, shelter, basic health care services and social services;
to be protected from maltreatment, neglect, abuse or degradation;
to be protected from exploitative labour practices;
not to be required or permitted to perform work or provide services that
are inappropriate for a person of that child's age; or
place at risk the child's well-being, education, physical or mental health or spiritual, moral or social development;
not to be detained except as a measure of last resort, in which case, in addition to the rights a child enjoys under sections 12 and 35, the child may be detained only for the shortest appropriate period of time, and has the right to be
kept separately from detained persons over the age of 18 years; and
treated in a manner, and kept in conditions, that take account of the child's age;
to have a legal practitioner assigned to the child by the state, and at state expense, in civil proceedings affecting the child, if substantial injustice would otherwise result; and
not to be used directly in armed conflict, and to be protected in times of armed conflict.
Everyone has the right:
to a basic education, including adult basic education; and
to further education, which the state, through reasonable measures, must make progressively available and accessible.
Everyone has the right to receive education in the official language or languages of their choice in public educational institutions where that education is reasonably practicable. In order to ensure the effective access to, and implementation of, this right, the state must consider all reasonable educational alternatives, including single medium institutions, taking into account:
equity;
practicability; and
the need to redress the results of past racially discriminatory laws and practices.”
Thus, a socialist paradise.
Liberals/Progressives/Marxists snicker cynically at that stupidity. Their job is to advance socialism/communism "by any means necessary." Controlling the courts with partisan puppets is the most direct way to achieve revolution without having to consider "the consent of the people."
Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg
Was there ever a more fitting name for satire in the court. I mean she even LOOKS like her!
Caught a shot of her and Kagen after the SOTU speech. Drooling old crone and mouth-breathing imbecile.
Right on!
Leftist presidents choose women justices because they live longer.
Had her oil changed at the same time.
I hope it's enough to keep her on the road until next January.
Well, then, Obammy better nominate Jenny Craig for the next vacancy, ‘cause Sotomayor and Kagen don’t look like they’re gonna last too long.
I wish that Ginsburg had made this statement back in 1993, when Bill Clinton appointed her. Maybe she would have been rejected. Now our only hope is that she retires soon. Given her age and health, that is possible.
We need to win this year’s election very badly. The stakes have never been higher.
“I thought this boring old anti-American black-robed leftist moron was going to retire because of health reasons.”
That may still happen. She’s not getting getting any younger. Hopefully, that’ll happen after Obama is defeated for reelection.
Did you hear what this aging radical judge said? She claimed that the Constitution of South Africa is better than that of the U.S. Amazing. We’ve gotta get Obama & Company out of the White House.
If only she would attempt to swallow something as large as a pitted olive.
(Pencil necked geek)
My greatest concern should Obama be re-elected is his ability to appoint more radical lefty judges to the Supreme Court.
We must all unite to hold him to one term!
Very well-stated. Four members of the U.S. Supreme Court are over the age of 70, including Constitutionalist stalwart Antonin Scalia.
Anybody got the animated gif of the court artist’s rendition of Ginsburg “asleep?”
“Ginsburg ‘asleep’.”
Now that has the ring of a potential masterpiece that should hang in the national museum.
