Re: US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to Egyptians: Look to the Constituti
I think, considering the fact that it is the job of a Supreme Court justice to know the Constitution, the bodies of law which reside beneath it, and the judicial precedent which precedes their confirmation by the Senate, Ginsberg is highly qualified to find such faults.
Many founding documents for modern governments around the world trace their roots back to our constitution. Pointing to them as better examples is more about pointing to more modern, better-fleshed documents than it is about saying ours sucks.
Where is it the job to the justice to find fault in the document she is supposed to be making court room decisions on? What she is doing amounts to saying is our constitution sucks, you don't wanna use it.
