The Ginsburg Doctrine (SCOTUS influenced by foreign jurisprudence)

Ginsburg's approach to law reminds me of something Thurston Howell once said on "Gilligan's Island" when he felt that the other castaways had wronged him in some decision they made. Threatened the esteemed Mr. Howell, "Why, I'll take this to the Appellate Court; no, I'll take it to the Supreme Court; no, I'll take it all the way to the Newport Sound Yacht Club Rules Committee".

I imagine even the Newport Sound Yacht Club Rules Committee doesn't bend to foreign legal opinion.

Ginsburg, and any other SCOTUS judges that agree with her, should be impeached.

"Our island or Lone Ranger mentality is beginning to change"

With this kind of vague racist prejudiced theoretical language, opposing one world against a new world where good and evil somehow do not exist, you have patent communist liberal excuse making for inserting foreign and terrorist thug "laws" into our system.

I find RBG's views to be subversive to our Constitution and a threat to our sovereignity. She needs to step down.

Ditto!

The liberal legal motto used to be "If the Constitution doesn’t say what you want it to, then find some way to pretend that it does."

The new, Ginsburg-modified motto is, apparently, "If you can’t distort the Constitution to make it say what you want, then use the one from Djibouti or Madagascar instead."

Our Republic is in great peril.

Our Republic is in great peril.

I tend to agree.

Usually government officials have more intelligence than to actually state their subversive intent in a speech. The oath that this idiot took when joining the SCOTUS pledged her protection of the Constitution, both foreign and domestic. Evidently the majority of Congress supports her position so nothing is done to impeach her which is within their duties.

Our forefaters fought a revolution because of taxation without representation. With Ginsburg the world's fruitakes have representation without taxation. She is more like the supreme poobah then a supreme court justice.

How is due process served when an appelate or supreme court introduces arguments and decisions from foreign sources that are based on evidence and facts that may be identified and categorized according to the rules and customs of legal bodies that operate outside our legal system?

How indeed, especially when many of those rules and customs are diametrically opposed to provisions in the U.S. Constitution.

Ginsburg, and any other SCOTUS judges that agree with her, should be impeached.

After having sworn to uphold the Constitutionl of the USA, they should be impeached when they wander from it.

No wonder they want our guns, the liberal swine.

Nice line, no?

I was almost convinced that the author's name was a pseudonym because, stylistically, it reminds of me our very own Torie.

Americans can undoubtedly benefit by studying other political systems and their laws and constitutions. Such study might even reveal that some countries have more enlightened laws and public policies in some areas than we do.

Oh really? Such as the Madagascar policy that allows the use of poodles as public transportation?

Although, these days, anything beats flying.

Well pilgrim, that'll be a cold day in h*ll.

[Lazamataz]

Our Republic is in great peril.

LAUNCELOT: We were in the nick of time, you were in great peril.
GALAHAD: I don't think I was.
LAUNCELOT: Yes you were, you were in terrible peril.
GALAHAD: Look, let me go back in there and face the peril.
LAUNCELOT: No, it's too perilous.
GALAHAD: Look, A man's got to get as much peril as he can.
LAUNCELOT: No, we've got to find the Holy Grail. Come on!
GALAHAD: Well, let me have just a little bit of peril?
LAUNCELOT: No, it's unhealthy.
GALAHAD: I bet you're gay.
LAUNCELOT: No, I'm not.
