I knew some politically connected people who were saying in the late ‘80s that Marshall was already mentally gone, spent his days watching TV, and told his clerks to do the work, but to never let drug dealers off.
I also remember when he finally retired, he referred to the pressure he received, and simply told them, “I’m falling apart.” That struck me as refreshingly honest.
Ginsburg’s clerks have been writing her opinions for years.
She brought in hard left ideologues knowing they would write opinions that she could simply rubber stamp.
