“Roe, she said, could serve as a lesson in how the judiciary is vulnerable to accusations that they lack accountability, and how perhaps more can be accomplished — and accomplished more calmly — incrementally, even in the social justice realm.

“’You give it to them softly,’ Ginsburg said. ‘And you build them up to what you want.’”

So, she thinks that unconstitutional judicial activism is just fine as long as it's done incrementally.

Or, as long as the Left doesn’t get caught in the middle of raping the rest of us.

Man, Ginsburg is way too close to eternity to keep bragging about how good it is to murder children, albeit more discreetly.

Roe Abortion Case Activated a Pro-Life Movement...

I can only hope that, like Roe, having a Marxist Islamist (TM by Ø), Alinskyite as 'resident activates a sustained shift to Constitutional Conservatism.

Yeah, I guess we should all just shut up about the murder of millions of babies.

Roe helped the libertarians change their second, and successive platforms, to unrestricted abortion, zero restrictions or restraints.

In 1972 they had made the mistake of using the 100 day limit.

Being libertarians, they quickly caught their error though.

If you look at her votes there doesn't appear to be anything incremental about them. She would have voted with the majority at the time for Roe vs Wade.

“just fine as long as it’s done incrementally”

All progressive/liberals depend upon the “FROG IN THE POT”. Unfortunately, the grand majority of Americans are like frogs.

“The boiling frog story is a widespread anecdote describing a frog slowly being boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death. The story is often used as a metaphor for the inability or unwillingness of people to react to significant changes that occur gradually.”

The question is: will Justice Gindburg get a chance to explain her point of view to her Maker? Or, will she just go straight to H***?

Well, golly gee, maybe if the people were “allowed” to resolve the issue on their own, through their legislatures, or acting as their own legislatures through the ballot box, such a movement would never had arisen. But Harry Blackmun was impatient!

” “the public would have reacted in a more positive way than it did,” as she told Jill Filipovic of Cosmopolitan this week.”

Or perhaps the little froggies won’t react at all.

Seems they learned their lesson.

It is why gay marriage is being crammed down our pieholes on the bologna slice program.

A typical response from a person devoid of scientific knowledge. In physics, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The same can be said for actions in the social realm.

God, I hope this unbearable Harpy hangs on to her mortal coil until February 2017 so President Cruz can replace her with a new Justice like Thomas. Even better some staunch Conservatives who have NOT spent their entire lives in the Judiciary.
