Oh, they'll certainly ignore her. As the second-last paragraph of the article states:
Finally, it seems that Justice Ginsburg has forgotten that sharia law will remain the foundation for all Egyptian laws, including the constitution that will be prepared under the watchful eyes of the Muslim Brotherhood. Sharia law, which separates Muslim believers from nonbelievers, sanctions inferior status for women, and criminalizes blasphemy and apostasy, will trump any constitution that Justice Ginsburg recommends as a model for the Egyptians to follow.
The default is obviously to ignore a woman first, never mind an infidel second.

She likes it because it apologizes for past wrongs, includes the words diversity and social justice. I notice it is a Republic...hmmmm...just like the USA...oh and they used the word God too...hmmm just like the USA. Preamble "We, the people of South Africa, Recognise the injustices of our past; Honour those who suffered for justice and freedom in our land;Respect those who have worked to build and develop our country; and Believe that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, united in our diversity. We therefore, through our freely elected representatives, adopt this Constitution as the supreme law of the Republic so as to —Heal the divisions of the past and establish a society based on democratic values, social justice and fundamental human rights;Lay the foundations for a democratic and open society in which government is based on the will of the people and every citizen is equally protected by law;Improve the quality of life of all citizens and free the potential of each person; and Build a united and democratic South Africa able to take its rightful place as a sovereign state in the family of nations. May God protect our people. Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika. Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso. God seën Suid-Afrika. God bless South Africa. Mudzimu fhaṱutshedza Afurika. Hosi katekisa Afrika."
