US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to Egyptians: Look to the Constitutions

Re: US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to Egyptians: Look to the Constituti

Or she wants a different society with different values and different political needs to have a system of governance that's more suited to that society's individualized needs.

I don't see how a Justice saying "The US Constitution isn't for everybody and has particular weaknesses" equates to "I dislike the US Constitution and want to change it into something else despite what the people say and despite the amendment process."

It's an insight into the way she views our constitution and it casts doubt on the motives behind some of the decisions she has made.

Clinton appointed her.

She had worked her entire career for the ACLU, serving as its general counsel in the 1970's. She was a law professor at that liberal haven called Columbia.

She may very well be the biggest left wing nutcase in this country, and that's not an exaggeration. She ought to be tossed off the bench.

As for her comment, it's unfathomable how someone whose role is to interpret and uphold the Constitution of the United States can come out and say that another nation's constitution is somehow better. Nice to know how highly she regards the piece of law she's sworn to uphold.

I can't say I'm at all surprised, though. Just another leopard showing her spots.

I bet if a McDonalds employee went around telling customers to go to burger king,wendys or some other place and that same employee used another burger chains burgers to sell to McDonalds customers then I bet McDonalds would fire that employee. But yet some people think it is perfectly acceptable for a supreme court judge to cite foreign laws when making decisions regarding the constitution and to tell other countries our constitution is no good. I guess only to a globalist or some anti-US constitutional scum bag would that make any sense.

It worries me that the left is unconcerned about this. They're rallying behind Ginsburg... but this is a serious question mark on her record.

Seriously, though, it's interesting how the left views the right. You can see that we're worked up, you see the attacks on left-wing figures, but maybe you don't really see why or how we arrive at our philosophies.
Oh, I know why -- emotionalism.

I wish there were a left-wing talk show element. It would be interesting to hear, and to call in and slam the host for being wrong about everything. :)
There is. They are often wrong, because they let their emotions override rationality and logic. However, unlike the right wing talk show hosts, I get the impression that they truly believe what they say (compared to the right wing hosts, which I get the impression are merely saying stuff to inflame their audience and thereby increase revenue)... which is probably one reason that left wing talk radio doesn't make much money.
