She sure sounds egotistical as well.
This means President Cruz will get to nominate her replacement when she croaks!
I understand - not nearly enough pedophile votes there now.
She’s quite critical of the Harry Reid run Senate, I see.
Good for you Ruth Buzzi. Wait until we have a Republican president AND Senate.
Ginsburg doesn’t like Harry Reid’s senate?
They must not have enough bat-crap crazy ultra-leftists to suit her.
Quite the opposite. She’s a confirmed liberal but she knows the difference between Rule of Law and Dogma. Her resigning would be our worst nightmare.
The only info I want from her is the name of her doctor.
Dx’d with pancreatic cancer & still going strong.
What treatment & meds is she on??
With Harry Reid having gone 'nuclear', it would be a breeze to appoint Van Jones, Louis Farrakhan, or Bill Ayers.
By "someone like me," of course you're referring to a jurist who makes decisions based on a political agenda, rather than the Constitution.
HA! I wish that were (was?) true.
The discouraging fact is Ubama could nominate Beelzebub hisself and there would be enough Republicans who would go along with it lest they be called racist.
This is actually a major breach of Court decorum and protocol.
I mean, we all know that Justices like to time their retiring on the ability to see a like-minded replacement, but it was always unstated. This is the first time, to my knowlege, that one of the Justices has stated so explictly.
She’s actually undermining the integrity of the Court with this. Which was probably her intent. Reduce it, as Liberals have tried to do over the last generation, to just another political body.
Does she really think the filibuster option for Supreme Court nominees will stay in place if opportunity presents itself to the Dems?
“I can’t resign with this Senate”
Great!
She’ll LOVE the one arriving in January!
When ACLU Ruthie was nominated, the pubbies didn’t put up a fight. They didn’t like her politics, but felt she was qualified. The dems go nuclear on most pubbie nominees.
She won’t resign while the Dems hold the Senate?
Death is an option. She looks like death warmed over.
Actually, she is being very realistic, based on her axioms.
Right now, every justice on the court is either Catholic or Jewish. As far as she is concerned, her seat is a “competent Jewish” seat. But if Obama could appoint her replacement, he would likely appoint an incompetent black Muslim, or an incompetent black atheist with Muslim leanings. Think Thurgood Marshall, but more radical, hate filled, and utterly ignorant and hostile to the law.
And this is where the senate matters, because Harry Reid would railroad through any Supreme Court nominee Obama wanted, even the devil himself, which would probably be Obama’s preferred choice.
But all she has to do is to hold out until a new, Republican senate is seated, to guarantee that her seat will be vacant until there is a Republican POTUS. And while her replacement may not even be Jewish, her preferred option, he or she will at least be competent and not hostile to Jews and Israel.
Her opinion is not long held, as she has only had it since Obama appointed Sotomayor and Kagan. This suggests that the two are a lot more radical than they let on, but are biding their time. But the other justices, especially Ginsburg, know what they are really about.
Good thing she’s not an arrogant, self-absorbed piece of crap...
I have to thank her for the reminder of why we need to retake and hold the senate.
