[The Hon. Galahad Threepwood]

Self-government? What's that?

[solzhenitsyn]

Our island or lone ranger mentality is beginning to change

We're sorry our own Constitution isn't good enough for you, lady.

[veronica]

Wouldn't it be more appropriate for them to look to the US Constitution, or that too quaint a concept for Justice Ginsberg? There is something annoying about her...

[LanPB01]

She's an embarrassment to the legal profession, as if we can't do a good enough job of embarrasing ourselves without interferences from Supreme Court Justices . . .

[HennepinPrisoner]

So basically she is admitting that, like SCOFFLAW, she made law rather than interpret it.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg speaks at the American Constitution Society's first national convention in Washington on Saturday August 2, 2003.

She looks possesed.

[RicocheT]

Fools on the court like Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg are why the Republican Senate leadership must break the judicial filibusters.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

Get a rope.

[First Amendment]

And in 2002, the court said that executing mentally retarded people is unconstitutionally cruel. That ruling noted that the practice was opposed internationally.

If someone is smart enough to kill, they are smart enough to die.

"Our island or lone ranger mentality is beginning to change," Ginsburg said during a speech to the American Constitution Society, a liberal lawyers group holding its first convention.

This makes me completely enraged. Who the f**k does she think she is? Why the &@^$& should our country effing kowtow to the kooks and socialists and enemies in other countries to determine OUR constitution? Can someone please get the hook and get rid of this toad? I wish the Republicans in the gov't would stiffen their spines and quite worrying about polls and numbers. Just stand up for principle! Can't justices who say crap like this be impeached? Thrown out?

[amexmike]

Has anyone every asked this "Global Visionary" why, if she is so much in favor of other countries reviewing court decisions to alter law into a global interpretation, France has not reviewed our Capital Punishment law and adopted the death penalty? Why is it always a one way street? But if that is the way she wants it why does she never sight these examples:

Islamic law and it's interpretation of Abortion and Homosexuality?

[MamaLucci]

Justices "are becoming more open to comparative and international law perspectives," said Ginsburg, who has supported a more global view of judicial decision making.

The Founders of this nation must be spinning in their graves.

[Republican Wildcat]

Remember the Libertarians? The so-called defenders of the "true" Constitution heiled this ruling that required use of foreign laws and precedent to trump the Constitution. It really demonstrates just how much they care and know about the Constitution.

[AlbionGirl]

This article is proof positive that this woman, while highly educated, is willing to impose her global philosophy on the US, and the Constitution be damned.

She isn't fit to shine the shoes of one of the founding fathers, and yet she is empowered to detroy their visionary philosophy and hard fought gains.

She'd better hope she never pushes any 'lone ranger' buttons better left untouched. Her mentatlity and subsequent rulings (along with the rest of her 'large' minded brethren) could be the catalyst for a second revolt; one in which the Supreme court is not viewed as very Supreme.

Justices "are becoming more open to comparative and international law perspectives," said Ginsburg, who has supported a more global view of judicial decision making.

Wow, am I dumb. I thought it was the Supreme Court of the United States not of the world. This is the major problem with SCOUS that has surfaced recently. They don't even try to mask their one world bias, it's "in your face" rulings being handed down now.

Hey Senate Republicans, how about a little moral courage and force the dims to "really" filibuster the judicial nominees. Stop letting them run the show.

[11th Earl of Mar]

she told the group of judges, lawyers and students. "We are the losers..."

That about sums it up.

[geedee]

This is un-frickin'-believable.

kattracks, you're probably up on this stuff. Can you give me a short and sweet version of how Supreme Court Justices are replaced? They have to be impeached, right?

Sorry, I'm old and dumb and it's been a long time since I took Constitutional studies.

[Dan from Michigan]

This is the US CONSTITUTION.

Judges like GINSBURG that do not follow that should be IMPEACHED for ABUSE OF POWER.

[NativeNewYorker]

I would like to apologize to my fellow Freepers on behalf of my fellow Brooklynite, fellow Cornellian, and co-religionist.

She must be suffering from Alzheimer's.

She is literally, flatly, insane.

[PISANO]

I guess I am in an abyss of my own creation! I have been operating under the belief that Justices were supposed to interpert OUR United States Constitution NOT International law. I would advocate the IMPEACHMENT of any Justice/Judge that would take such a position as this. However, here in the abyss, of my own creation, known as wonderland, I must be mistaken.

[Kevin Curry]

Justices "are becoming more open to comparative and international law perspectives," said Ginsburg, who has supported a more global view of judicial decision making.

This is your sweetheart Ruthie talking, tpaine--your unelected superlegislator-for-life savior from "statist" government.

Come pay homage to her openly if you dare.
