Ruth Bader Ginsburg


The outpouring of conservative disappointment this spring may simply be the weary strain of the non-stop political debate in 21st century America. Half a year before the fall elections is a good time to pause and analyze the successes and failures in recent events. Three words, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, should remind the frustrated and the angry that there is much work left to be done.

Ms. Ginsburg may be sleeping on the job, but in her free time she is leading the movement for judicial superiority within the U.S. Government while simultaneously arguing the U.S. Constitution is insufficient for justice.
Ginsburg: Congress' Watchdog Plan 'Scary': Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Tuesday that a Republican proposal in Congress to set up a watchdog over the federal courts is a "really scary idea." … "It sounds to me very much like the Soviet Union was .... That's a really scary idea,"

Boot Ruth: Ginsburg summarized her views by telling the South Africans that utilizing international "natural" law in the United States is necessary because the US Constitution is "...a document frozen in time as of the date of its ratification,"
For a Supreme Court Justice to say our constitution is “frozen in time” is a statement either of great ignorance or great contempt. The Claremont Institute explains the necessity of continuing to rid our courts of those judges with allegiances to goals other than the just application of our laws.
Constitution or Tyranny: Quite simply, the Left openly disdains the Constitution when it frustrates even the most transient of their preferences. … Because the Constitution can be amended, it is perfectly flexible, though not hurriedly so. The telling difference between the liberally elastic document and the conservatively amendable one is that the latter demands the consent of the governed rather than that of a small juridical elite.
Its a very good thing that Ginsburg is scared of a congress insisting on ruling the United States using only the laws of the United States.
