Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said the court should do a "salvage job," not undertake a “wrecking operation."
When the Judicial branch performs such a "line-item veto" on ANY law is nothing short of legislating from the bench (to which I'd expect this shameless little yotch to say, "So, what's the matter with that?").
On a related note, if by some miracle the Obamanation loses in November, I wonder how many aging libs on the SCOTUS will immediately resign, giving him and his 'RAT-controlled Senate the opportunity to pack the Court before he leaves office.
That’s quite the defeatist attitude you’ve got going there.
Wow!
Clinton keeps destroying the U.S.A with that Marxist Ginsburg it put on the supreme Court.And how many other marxist judges did it put on the supreme court and federal courts? Clinton also let illegals reach critical mass and did the China free trade deal that sent all our factorie and jobs to china, NAFTA etc.
Ditto for Obama and the 2 Marxists it put on the Supreme Court

when Ginsberg states do a salvage job she is saying “I know it is not constitutional and it might not pass but come on please save some of it for us and our agenda”
If Obama loses in November and Ginsburg and Breyer immediately resign so that Obama can nominate their replacement, there is NO WAY that the Senate will vote to confirm prior to the new president being sworn in on January 20, 2013 (at which time the new president would surely remove the nominations and nominate two other candidates), much less before the new Senate (which will have a GOP majority) takes over on January 3, 2013. There are 47 Republicans in the Senate, and even with a few RINOs there, it is unfathomable that we would fail to get 41 of them to filibuster last-minute nominations by a defeated, lame-duck Democrat president.
If Ginsburg and Breyer wanted Obama to name their replacements, they should have retired in 2009 or 2010.
