Ginsburg worries 'everything' will be up for grabs if Trump wins

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg believes "everything" will be up for grabs if Donald Trump is elected president and has the opportunity to appoint several justices to the high Court.

"I don't want to think about that possibility, but if it should be, then everything is up for grabs," Ginsburg said of the presumptive Republican nominee succeeding in his bid for the White House in an interview published Friday by The Associated Press.

Ruth,baby, too bad your seat is not up for grabs so you can be sent back to law school to take a remedial law class and maybe learn that the law is not about expressing your personal opinions. We can get any crackhead to do that.

The problem with the Supreme Court is not just Justice Ginsburg, but its unchallenged establishment as a super-legislature, usurping the authority of Congress and state legislatures and twisting the Constitution like silly putty to justify everything from abortion to the way state legislative districts are apportioned. A Trump administration may appoint a conservative justice or two. Hopefully, he will do better than either Reagan or the Bushes, who gave us O'Connor, Souter, and Roberts, as well as Scalia, Alito, and Thomas.

There are two long term solutions: first and foremost, Congress must restrict the authority of the Supreme Court to matters of Federal responsibility solely, as outlined in the Constitution. Secondarily, the Supreme Court tenure must not be for life, but for a fixed term, say 10 years, with no reappointment possible.

Ruth Buzzi-Bader Ginsburg SHOULD be worried that “everything is up for grabs”. When a basketball goes out of bounds, it is brought back in by a member of the opposing team.

And things have been going out of bounds a LOT of late.

“Since I see so many of those in my generation on the liberal side, I venture to say it began long before 1989, and it wasn’t the result of any President either. It was clearly the educational system. That is where the rot began. That rot then led to the rot throughout the system, as they took over more and more parts of the system.”

‘He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.’

Conservatives should be afraid of the very same thing if Clinton is elected. Ginsburg, Clarence Thomas, and Anthony Kennedy are all old and the next president may need to nominate replacements for all of them. It's no exaggeration to say that the next president can shape the Supreme Court decisions that will be handed down until 2050 or so.

Liberals are thisclose to having full control of the country and they aren't going to let anything stand in their way. We can't just eke out a win. We'll have to win big to defeat all their vote fraud.

What Ginsburg means when Miss Deathrattle says “everything” will be up for grabs if Donald Trump wins, is all those wide screen t.v.’s and bottles of Hennessy and Swisher Sweets up for grabs by her little friends and looters and thugs and terrorists.

Since the judiciary’s job is to apply the law to the cases before it, it should only “make” any part of the law reluctantly when forced by a case on which the law is unclear. But her attitude seems to be the court us there to make law and defend its legacy as a legislative body.

How very interesting!!! Ginsburg, in that interview, went on:

In reference to the case recently before the Court, she said:"It seemed to me it was a sham to pretend this was about a woman's health. . . ," Ginsburg said."

That is a conclusion which those who describe themselves as "Pro-Life" should be repeating each time they hear Hillary Clinton using her "sham" argument (Ginsburg) argument on behalf of destroying life in the womb up to, and including, babies whose physical development is nearly complete.

Think about it!!

"I don't want to think about that possibility, but if it should be, then everything is up for grabs,"

WTF does that even mean? Miss Sleepy Head is talking nonsense. She's a shrill shill for Hillary.

And in spite of her "likely that the next president, whoever she will be, will have a few appointments to make." comment, she's a long long way from having this in the bag.

Because, Ruthie, if Trump is elected, HE certainly will change the court in ways you will not be happy with.

It's time for Trump to "fundamentally change" "Amerika" back into what America was before we ever heard the name "Obama".
