"I'd like to see him on the Supreme Court."

That is my hope. There is such a thing as "judicial temperment". He has it. He doesn't bend the law. He works within it. He is, I think, exactly the kind of jurist that the founding fathers would have admired even if there were differences on points of law.

You are wrong. The founding dads would have recognized Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg as the prototypical jurist. She has the foresight to advocate for application of other countries laws and customs instead of being dogmatically faithful to the Constitution.

Whatever makes you think they would prefer a Justice who exhibits fealty to the founding principles?

;-P
