Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg evolved this summer from a mere figure of authority into a liberal celebrity when she authored the dissenting opinion in the Hobby Lobby case. Ginsburg’s dissent, which has been ubiquitously dubbed “scathing” and/or “blistering” in the press, prompted the left to craft a cult of personality around her.
Liberal outlets dubbed her “Notorious R.B.G.,” whiny folk artists converted her opinion into a terrible but nevertheless widely shared song, and The New Republic laughably dubbed Ginsburg “the most popular woman on the internet.” Take that, Kate Upton.
All this hero worship was entirely unearned, but the left is eternally in search of a totem. Ginsburg revealed just how misplaced the deluge of liberal idolization was on Thursday when she let all that celebrity go to her head.
In an interview with Katie Couric, Ginsburg embraced the toxic, disrespectful, and illiberal identity politics that has so intoxicated the left when she said that the five male Justices who decided Hobby Lobby really cannot understand the law in this case because they do not possess her reproductive organs.
Ginsburg began by insisting that the decision in Hobby Lobby meant that “women would have to take care of that for themselves, or the men who cared.” Oh, the tyrannies of free will and independence.

Just the kind of open mindedness we like to see in our supreme court justices.
“...because they do not possess her reproductive organs.”
I shudder to even think of her........organs.”
I wasn’t aware the Constitution was based on gender, nor religious rights, for that matter.
WEll, the females on the liberal side have not understood the case, including those on the USSC. What’s their excuse?
Robert Joseph Dole and Orrin Grant Hatch were among her key sponsors.
As a woman, I find this mindset so insulting. Not to mention Ginsburg is a liar. Does she really not understand the issue!
What a sad comment coming from a Supreme Court Justice, she’s way overdue for retirement.
It’s way past time she stepped down.
As the late Senator Roman Hruska, R-NE, might have said, even “old gas-bags need a little representation too.”
When we will all be issued new genitals so we can understand women?
Oh, boy.
Was her image used as a model for the “Old Maid” card game?
I am so confused. /sarc
I refuse to think about Ginsberg’s genitals!
How much ‘tar and feathers’ would be required if a Straight, White, Conservative Male on the USSC were to make an outlandish, idiotic statement demeaning to women, gays or any of the mixed gender crowd ‘we’ are now (being forced to) bowing to.
