Supreme Court justice: U.S. Constitution inferior
WND ^ | 2/3/2012 | Bob Unruh

Posted on 02/06/2012 5:02:55 AM PST by IbJensen

One member of the U.S. Supreme Court, whose members are sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States, says she would look elsewhere – Canada, South Africa and Europe – should she be tasked with writing a constitution now.

The stunning statements come from Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

She was being interviewed by Al Hayat in Egypt, which is trying to develop a government after citizens deposed longtime dictator President Hosni Mubarack last year.

Egypt is facing major obstacles to a democratic form of government as the Muslim Brotherhood as a political party has been assembling a majority in the country. Among its goals is a Muslim caliphate worldwide.

She was asked: “Would your honor’s advice be to get a part of other countries’ constitutions as a model, or should we develop our own draft?

Her response:

“You should certainly be aided by all the constitution-writing that has gone on since the end of World War II. I would not look to the U.S. constitution, if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012. I might look at the constitution of South Africa. That was a deliberate attempt to have a fundamental instrument of government that embraced basic human rights, had an independent judiciary. It really is, I think, a great piece of work that was done.

She is, indeed, a Marxist hag that in a more perfect union would have the authority of a fruit fly!

A while back, a read that she as a bronze Lenin bust on her desk.

She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer back in 2009. I hope she hangs on long enough for Newt to nominate her successor.

The Canadian "constitution"? Not worth the paper it's written on. One clause states that parliament can override the constitution.

Canada, like other parliamentary democracies, is actually a parliamentary dictatorship. Of course, that's not quite as bad as a presidential dictatorship or a judicial dictatorship.

Ginsburg in '73 was named General Council to the ACLU. She is considered on the leftist wing of the Supreme Court.
How she was ever appointed is beyond me!

Thanks Ruth Buzzy.
You just incriminated yourself and gave the US House the grounds for your own Impeachment.

Yeah, I know, won't happen.
But If I was in the US House I'd be one busy son of a gun. Drawing up articles of impeachment against the entire admin and half of the federal judges for sedition and/or treason.

- Before Christ’s second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers.

The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth will unveil the “mystery of iniquity” in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth.

The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh.

I have read in the past, forget where and who said it, that the most CRITICAL charge of the President of the United States is the choice in the naming of members of the United States Supreme Court.
Long after the naming President is part of history, his named Justices are still on that bench, for better or worse.
We are in the midst of a presidential election year. Try to consider just what kind of Justices your “chosen one” would place over YOU. This Judicial Idiot is what I mean.

“”Egypt is facing major obstacles to a democratic form of government as the Muslim Brotherhood as a political party has been assembling a majority in the country. Among its goals is a Muslim caliphate worldwide””

AND she’s stupid enough to believe that Egypt will be governed by people who are honestly interested in a democratic form of government???

I thought she was dying of cancer...how many people being treated for cancer are traveling to foreign countries??

She swore to uphold our constitution. If she cannot do that ethics requires that she recuse or resign.
