For the judicial icon otherwise known as R.B.G., Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s past few roller-coaster months have included being lionized by Hollywood, laid low by cancer surgery, and most recently issuing one of the Supreme Court term’s more important decisions, placing limits on civil forfeiture, within a day of returning to the bench. People who know almost nothing about the court and can’t name another justice know her name. In a celebrity-saturated age, she is one of the culture’s most unlikely rock stars.
Yet for all the accolades that have come her way, I’m willing to bet that among the most meaningful to her is one that doesn’t even mention her name. I’m referring to the decision last week by a federal district judge in Houston that declared the current male-only draft registration system to violate the constitutional requirement that the government treat men and women equally.
Justice Ginsburg’s influence shone through the spare and refreshingly direct 19 pages of Judge Gray H. Miller’s opinion. He held that the old arguments against registering (and theoretically drafting) women accepted by the Supreme Court when it last considered the question 38 years ago no longer apply now that women are welcomed by the military and eligible for all roles, including combat positions, for which they meet the sex-neutral qualifications.
Female soldiers’ ineligibility for combat roles was the basis for the court’s rejection of the equal-protection argument posed by the 1981 case, Rostker v. Goldberg. “This is not a case of Congress arbitrarily choosing to burden one of two similarly situated groups,” Justice William H. Rehnquist, not yet the chief justice, wrote for the 6-to-3 majority. “Men and women, because of the combat restrictions on women, are simply not similarly situated for purposes of a draft or registration for a draft.”

This thread needs to come with a vomit bag.
She’s a bit#h I hate her leftist guts.
Die already.
RBG is a Vichy Jew, whose ideology descends from those Jews in France who sold out their own kind, and then i,,igrated to the USA with a leftist Bolshevik ideology which they continue to this day inject into America’s body politic.
RBG’s claim to an alleged moral superiority is no justification for her many breaches of the judicial canon of ethics on impartiality. She deserves impeachment.
Wow, America continues to be underwhelmed by her twisted understanding of the plain words of our Constitution.
We are glad that she is on her way out.
That needs to be posted often.
It is up to God to decide.
It may be soon, it may be years.
But no one makes it out of this life alive.
What is the society that Ruth Bader Ginsberg and her co-conspirators seek to destroy? It is a society that has non-negotiable features that distinguish it from a collection of automatons, their novel dehumanizing version that has no relationship to their Creator other than rejection by Him individually and corporately.
It is the one with which they wish to deface the concept of freedom of the human spirit.
To Hell with these arrogant antinomian descendants of the First Adam. That is the sentence of condemnation already on them, that for their temporal moment they are unwilling to accept.
What is the over/under on her decisions actually being written by one or more of her clerks?
“They’ll scream sexism and bigotry if she is replace by anything other than a liberal woman.”
Let them scream. They’d let us scream and wouldn’t give a rat’s ass.
She’s dead, Jim.
