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. Ginsburgs 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.

Here’s hoping that RBG, the repugnantly sexist a-hole from the Demagogic Party, survives to the end of Zero’s regime, so her replacement can be named by a Republican president.
Thanks SeekAndFind.

Yep - makes my thoughts turn to the days of "breaking starch" in the military.
If Ginsburg leaves we’d get someone worse AND younger.

That’s why you have to vote in the Presidential elections, even the less worse of the alternatives.
