"[Justice Ginsburg] Said She Agreed With A Position Taken By Federal Judge John G. Roberts During His Confirmation Hearing To Replace The Late Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist. Roberts Invoked Ginsburg When He Refused To Speculate On How He Would Rule In Cases Before The Court." (Estes Thompson, "Justice Ginsburg Says She'd Prefer Another Woman On Court," The Associated Press, 9/29/05)
Haha, she just owned Schumer and company.
Looks as though she made these statements on the same day Roberts was sworn in -- apparently she doesn't want to cross her new boss on his first day on the job.
Makes sense she would support her new boss......
Too bad the boss can't fire his employees (or at least some of them).
And what's the liklihood that Senate 'Rats will observe this?
For once, Ginsburg says something intelligible.
Finally a leftist judge agrees with me! /sarcasm
What gets me is the idiot Senators that would even as the question. It shows that those Senators expect the SC to make law and they wanted to know beforehand how the Court would vote.
Bump
It may also be that the senators who are heavily financed by the abortion industry have to earn that blood money by making such a high-profile fight. Gotta keep the donors happy.
Let's just hope that the Republicans can use this to their advantage when the next one comes up. At least, Schumer and company will have to try to find a different reason to vote against Bush's nominee
Long live the Ginsburg Standard.
Too bad it didn't start with Doug Ginsberg instead of Ruth Buzzy.
The reason is, if these nominees do start giving specifics they will steer to decisions where they thinks things were decided wrongly and violated basic rules of interpretation AND are politically incorrect. It will make the sitting justices look like idiots if teh candidates can start dissecting their opinions in front of the world without anyone there to stop the bleeding.
Do you think they would have liked someone as slick as Roberts to have talked about eminent domain for an hour in front of the whole world??
