Pull heer feeding tube!
Ain't going to happen.
She will stay on as a vegetable until another dim is in the white house.
You think she'd let G.W. choose another member of the supremes?
Chief justice is obviously about to go as are a few others.
The next few years we are all going to learn what Mr. Bush and the rest of the repubs are all about.
I for one think the lot collectively couldn't equal one of Ollie Norths nuts.
Yep...seems clear to me. Why can't Ruth Bader Ginsburg understand that? I was always told she's a genius, but she sure sounds like a dumbass to me.
Pull her feeding tube!
I think the thing that roils me the most here is that I remember arguing with "conservatives" who were all hell bent on voting for Perot.
They're response to what happens "when" Klinton gets elected always was: "Well, How Much Damage Can He Really Do?"
Ginsberg, the Klinton gift that keeps on giving.
Now you chowder heads who voted for Perot and Klinton know.
The GOP doesn't have the balls to initiate imepeachment proceedings against a facist like Ginsberg. Too bad. Maybe someday, after the illegals overrun the Southwest and reclaim it for Mexico will they wake up.
Bump.
F**king traitor.
F**king traitor.
She should get out of Georgetown or wherever the hell she lives more often, eh?
Yep--and worth saying twice. It makes me ashamed that she is a member of the tribe.
Our early legal system was based in English common law, which Blackstone had brilliantly described, so it was not unusual or misguided to refer to his writings in early legal interpretations. This is quite different from now just jumping across the pond or around the world to find things to support the way you want to rule when you can't find another way to get there.
She is currently 71 years-old and had cancer. Maybe we'll get luck and she'll step down during the next four years.

Why wait four years!? She is not defending the US Constitution and is misinterpreting US Laws. She is breaking US Laws by refering to European Guidelines.
She should be removed from the bench by whatever legal means there are. She was entrusted by the American People, to keep by here oath. She has broken her word and her oath!!
She is a Felon and like John Kerry cannot hold public office. Remove her and her Progressive Cronies from the bench and from the Congress.
Thanks for your help with some facts on Blackstone.
Consulting foreign law is no worse than using such indubitably domestic sources as (1) the latest rantings from the Harvard and Yale law faculties, (2) the latest press releases from the ACLU, or (3) the latest op-ed columns from the Post or the Times, which is essentially what has driven constitutional law for the past half-century. If the courts never again made reference to foreign law, our jurisprudence would still be just as bad. The Warren Court, after all, didn't bother much with foreign law.
The problem is not the use of foreign law; the problem is the absence of law altogether. When legislatures are making policy, it makes sense for them to consult every source relevant to that policy, including experiences abroad. If courts are viewed, and view themselves, as legislatures, then it is not surprising to see them act like legislatures. Thus, it is important not to lose sight of the larger issue here. Justice Ginsburg's comments on foreign law are a very minor symptom of a much larger disease. The disease is the loss of a Culture of Constitutionalism. It is fine to use the foreign law issue as a vehicle for galvanizing support for that culture, but we need to keep it in context.
Good post
The "foreign law" comment just makes it all the more clear what their intentions are and, as you say, easier to galvanize opinion around.
Justice Ruth "Bad Girl" Ginsburg of the Supreme Court, is a liberal-demokkkRAT-progressive-commie-socialist-nazi, scumbag bitch. I won't say what I really think, or I'll get into trouble on FR.
