"I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and sole control of those who produced the wealth: communism is the goal." - Roger Baldwin, ACLU founder, Harvard Reunion Book, 1935

"The establishment of an American Soviet government will involve the confiscation of large landed estates in town and country, and also, the whole body to forests, mineral deposits, lakes, rivers and so on." - William Z. Foster, ACLU co-founder and former chairman, Communist Party USA.

A Clarion Call for Weak Thought
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, formerly of the ACLU, has given a speech about how proper it is for the Supreme Court to look at other nations' law when they try to interpret our Constitution.

You can get a sense of her worldview by merely looking at the title of her lecture: ""'A decent Respect to the Opinions of [Human]kind': the Value of a Comparative Perspective in Constitutional Adjudication"

She can't even bring herself to let that little historical authenticity "opinions of mankind" pass her censorious lips. History exists to be reformed. Jefferson did not say "Humankind". The big bad omnipresent censor strikes.

Newspeak...[ref: Orwell's *1984*]

The interesting thing about Edward Whelan's analysis is that it seems to show that Ginsburg's reasoning is not really reasoning. It is disjointed pseudo-reasoning, full of leaps and non-sequiturs. Therein is the real failure of liberal thought - it takes on the form of intellectual discussion, but it violates most of the rules of intellectual honesty. That's why we so often cannot follow it. It's not deep, it's rambling.

The ACLU practices INTELLECTUAL DISHONESTY which is reason enought to explain why Justess Ginsburg "formerly of the ACLU..." is willing to be persuaded by the (Kerry's) "Global Test" concept for interpreting U.S. Constitutional law.
