U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg made clear her perspective on some issues when she spoke Sunday at an Atlanta synagogue.
It matters that women and minorities are on the high court — if only for the public get equal access to the bathroom, she said in one of the lighter moments of her talk.
The court itself, while collegial, has entered a period of turbulence with a series of 5-4 decisions that started with Bush v. Gore, the decision that ended the 2000 presidential election controversy, she said.
Speaking at Ahavath Achim on Peachtree Battle Avenue, Bader Ginsburg spoke of the discrimination she faced early in her legal career, and the stress she feels when having to vote on 11th hour death-penalty appeals — instances in which the appellant will die if the court refuses to hear the case.

The Liberal Media took the above to mean that the entire decision was by a 5-4 vote. In reality, this was a 7-2 decision regarding the EPC, and a 5-4 decision regarding the stopping of the recount.
Funny how we don’t hear anything about women’s rights in Iran & other ME countries from the enlightened ones.
I remember her when she worked on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, before she got to the USSC:
Oh my gosh! I think you’re right!
As my Dad would say.....”I wonder how much she charges to haunt a house”.
HAHAHA...My dad used to say that too!
Has she ever NOT voted liberal? I’m sure Souter hasn’t.
