Ruth BUzzi’s days are numbered. She just hasn’t gotten the memo yet.
Old hag is far too political for the supreme court. Her sorry ass needs to go ahead and disappear.
Shouldn’t justices keep their traps shut about whose side they are on?
Poor Ruthie but at least she’s got a good stock of batteries:-)
I cannot believe this idiot had been on the SC this long. We have more lawyers in this country that we will ever need and the best the Dems could do is come up with this moron.
Who the hell cares what the “shovel ready” justice has to say.
I think Little Marco, Lyin' Ted, Low Energy Jeb, Rand Paul, John Kasich, etc., would beg to differ.
Makes me think of those old Doritos commercials with Jay Leno.
"Machos? Eat all you want--we'll make more."
So it was sexism when the media went totally negative on Sarah Palin?
Ginsburg is to jurisprudence and demeanor as a child banging on a spoon is to classical music.
What boweloney! Any man with the beest’s poor character, gross baggage, evident poor health, and lack of a coherent message would have lost just as badly, or worse, and would have been savaged even more because he was a man.
Isn’t this the same Ginsburg whose hero was a man w/a macho persona (Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia)?
Typical Beltway insider.
All of them are tone deaf.
Shouldn’t that be “genderism”?
Ginsburg seems a bit out of form. She should exercise more. I’m thinking ultra-marathons and mountain climbing. Maybe some breath-hold free diving.
So much for a high intellect, reasoned, objective and wise Supreme Court Justice.
Another BS excuse for her loss. There were AT LEAST as many people that voted for her specifically because she was a woman than would have voted against her because of her gender. Same was true of Obama, and the balance of votes for/against with him as a black.
In both those cases, you could argue that there was significant additional turnout specifically because of their being representative of a couple of “firsts”.
Looks like we now have proof that Ginsburg slept through the entire election cycle, just like she does when the court is in session.
How d’ya like that? Justice Ginzburg is a “true believer.”
Some people naively believe Bill Clinton lying under oath while in office is a scandal. It isn’t.
Not even a jurist like Ruth Bader Ginsburg thinks its a scandal. It’s part of the Democrats’ Creed.
This is what Justice Ginzburg truly believes (hat tip Michael Kelly).
Ginzburg believed him when he said he hadn’t had sex with Gennifer Flowers and believed him later, when he reportedly says he did.
Ginzburg believes the president did not rent out the Lincoln Bedroom, did not sell access to himself and the vice president to hundreds of well-heeled special pleaders and did not supervise the largest, most systematic money-laundering operation in campaign finance history, collecting more than $ 3 million in illegal and improper donations.
She believes that Charlie Trie and James Riady were motivated by nothing but patriotism for their adopted country.
The S/C Justice believes President Clinton when he conceded that his administration mistakenly obtained the FBI files of more than 300 people, including many top Republicans. She believes it was the result of a “completely honest bureaucratic snafu” involving security clearances.
Ginzburg believes Clinton’s chief of staff, Leon Panetta, when he told reporters that “obviously a mistake was made” and apologized to the people whose FBI files wound up at the White House. She believed Clinton when he said “I completely support” what my COS Panetta said about the affair.
Ginzburg believed Vice President Gore when he said that he had made dunning calls to political contributors “on a few occasions” from his White House office, and believed him when he said that, actually, “a few” meant 46. She believes in no controlling legal authority.
Justice Ginzburg believes Bruce Babbitt when he says that the $286,000 contributed to the DNC by Indian tribes opposed to granting a casino license to rival tribes had nothing to do with his denial of the license and believed the secretary when he said that he had not been instructed in this matter by then-White House deputy chief of staff Harold Ickes.
She believed him when he said later that he had told lobbyist and friend Paul Eckstein that Ickes had told him to move on the casino decision, but that he had been lying to Eckstein. and agree with the secretary that it is an outrage that anyone would question his integrity.
Justice Ginzburg believes in the Clinton Standard of adherence to the nation’s campaign finance and bribery laws, enunciated by the president on March 7, 1997: “I don’t believe you can find any evidence of the fact that I had changed government policy solely because of a contribution.”
She noted with approval the use of the word “evidence” and also the use of the word “solely” and believe that it is proper to change government policy to address the concerns of people who have given the president money, as long as nobody can find evidence of this being the sole reason.
Jurice Ginzburg believes Clinton lived up to his promise to preside over the most ethical administration in American history and believe that indicted former agriculture secretary Mike Espy did not accept $ 35,000 in illegal favors from Tyson Foods and other regulated businesses. She believes that indicted former housing secretary Henry Cisneros did not lie to the FBI and tell others to lie to cover up $ 250,000 in blackmail payments to his former mistress.
She believes that convicted former associate attorney general Webster Hubbell was not involved in the obstruction of justice when the president’s minions arranged for Hubbell to receive $400,000 in sweetheart consulting deals at a time when he was reneging on his promise to cooperate with Kenneth Starr’s Whitewater investigation.
Ginzburg believes Paula Jones is a cheap tramp who was asking for it. That Kathleen Willey is a cheap tramp who was asking for it and Monica Lewinsky is a cheap tramp who was asking for it.
Justice Ginzburg believes Lewinsky was fantasizing in her 20 hours of taped conversation in which she reportedly detailed her sexual relationship with the president and begged Linda Tripp to join her in lying about the relationship.
She believes that any gifts, correspondence, telephone calls and the 37 post-employment White House visits that may have passed between Lewinsky and the president are evidence only of a platonic relationship; such innocent intimate friendships are quite common between middle-aged married men and young single women, and also between presidents of the United States and White House interns.
Ginzburg sees nothing suspicious in the report that the president’s intimate, Vernon Jordan, arranged a $ 40,000-per-year job for Lewinsky shortly after she signed but before she filed an affidavit saying she had not had sex with the president. Nor does she read anything into the fact that the ambassador to the United Nations, Bill Richardson, visited Lewinsky at the Watergate to offer her a job.
As an accomplished jurist, Justice Ginzburg believes the instructions Lewinsky gave Tripp informing her on how to properly perjure herself in the Willey matter simply wrote themselves.
Ginzburg believes as Hillary does that The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Newsweek, Time, U.S. News & World Report, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS and NPR are all part of a vast right-wing conspiracy.
