To “make justice bigger” can only mean to make government bigger.
And government is too big already.
You’re confused. Liberals can legislate from the bench, conservatives cannot.
Understand?
So, she cheated.
exactly
Good points. There would not be the battles over abortion that we’ve been having if the issue had been addressed in the State legislatures. The invention of law by judges is transitory. It can be reversed at any time.
The USSC should be determining matters of law. If they want to beat a drum for injustice there are plenty of examples. Like the 5 year prison sentences for storing Weed-B-Gon wrongly. There’s plenty of cruel and unusual penalties passed by legislatures every year. Any American commits at least two felonies every day unknowingly thanks to the overreach of State and Federal lawmakers. Maybe the USSC could address those issues rather than carrying water for Parties that can’t get their per legislation passed and signed.
They can’t get underground fast enough to suit me....27 years of stupid is enough!!!
Great article!
Article is a refreshing contrast to Republicans’ usual compulsion to say nice things about leftist jurists who have spent years demolishing America from the bench. They did the same thing when Thurgood Marshall died. These jurists had their good qualities, but the damage they did should not be swept under the rug.
Sadly, you can say that of many of our jurists.
Great line from the author.
“Handing out indictments for hypocrisy in Washington is like writing up people in New Orleans at Mardi Gras for public intoxication.”
Justice Ginsburg didn't fail to understand her job; she refused to do her job.
She sure as hell DID understand her job. She’s a leftist. She understood along with all leftist apparatchiks that their leftist agenda cannot be enacted legislatively. For the pas 60 years they have used the courts to legislate, contrary to the constitution (what constitution?).
So yeah, she understood her job. And she did it as well as any. And even though she died during Rosh Hashanah, I wouldn’t give you 2 cents for her chances in the hereafter.
McConnell needs to get this done....if he fails, R-party will cease to exist.
And it needs to be before the election, because if Trump loses and/or Rs lose the Senate, the usual cast of RINO losers will cave and agree it should wait for the Admin and/or Senate.
what they need to do, is confirm the nominee of course, then if they do lose the Senate, use the lame duck session to restore the filibuster rule back. Require 70 senators for cloture.
then tell Schumer to pack-this.
I imagine she wanted to maximize her power and prestige—and she did.
Oh, she understood her job. And she did it exactly as the democrat party wrote the job description.
Not really fair to pin that on her.
They ALL think that way.
Ruth who?
I like what Justice Scalia said and how he avoided judicial activism.
“The truth is that the judge who looks outside the Constitution always looks inside himself and nowhere else.” And the more you look outside the law, the less you protect Americans’ freedoms.
