Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Bill and Hillary Clinton reminisce about her nomination (photos, barf alert)
Washington Post ^ | 10/30/2019 | Robert Barnes

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she knew there was concern about President Bill Clinton nominating a 60-year-old to the Supreme Court when he picked her in 1993.(snip)

Bill Clinton repeated that he knew within 10 minutes of interviewing then-Judge Ginsburg that he would offer her the job, although his first choice was New York Gov. Mario Cuomo.

He said she was serious about judging and laid out her views clearly. “I thought, this woman is completely on the level,” Clinton said.

Later, it was conceded that the serious Ginsburg also has a sense of humor. “It’s essential to the job,” she said.

Hillary Clinton said she liked to think she had something to do with Ginsburg’s nomination as well. “I may have expressed an opinion or two about people he should move up” the list of possibilities, she said.

The three were interviewed by Georgetown professors Wendy Williams and Mary Hartnett, who are working on a biography of Ginsburg. They said that Ginsburg had told them not to make the evening all about her, and the Clintons seemed happy to oblige.

Bill Clinton praised Ginsburg’s writing: “Every time I read one of her opinions, I’m thrilled by it.”(snip)

In lighter moments, Hillary Clinton said she had given her husband and others copies of the book written by Ginsburg’s trainer Bryant Johnson. “It was a problem” completing the “RBG workout,” Bill Clinton said. “It was a real struggle.”

Hillary Clinton said she completed the workout as well, “but without cameras” to record the event.

“One of the worst “Justices” ever.”

Unlike Chief “Justice” Roberts, she never pretended to respect the law.

Wow, 5 comments and no people insisting she’s dead.

Maybe that silliness is finally over.

About the only article I’ll enjoy reading about Ginsburg is her obituary.

Roberts, at least, didn’t sign off on the abomination known as Obergefell. That was a Satanic assault on the basic family unit.

You can see how people could make that mistake since she looks like a re-animated corpse.

Boy the way The Dixie Chicks played
Songs that made the Pride parade.
Guys like Bill they had it made
Those were the days!

And you hardly knew what you were then,
Girls were guys and guys were dolls
Mister, we could use a man
Like Walter Mondale again!

Got to build lawfare state,
Everybody fooled their mate.
Gee our limousines ran great!

Thooose were the daaays!!!

RGB is dying.

And HRC is hiding something under those mumu’s. She has never been in public without them since Sept 2016.

Hillary Clinton’s ankles are the doctors nightmare. They are puffing up and showing the red color of someone with some serious hypertension and diabetes issues. people with those kind of ankles will die, and soon.
