In a Wednesday appearance at George Washington University Law School, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg lamented the degree to which partisanship has infected the judicial-confirmation process, calling Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanuagh’s recent confirmation hearing a “highly partisan show.”
Contrasting Kavanaugh’s hearings last week with her own, which occurred in 1993, Ginsburg called the partisan grandstanding of Democrats “wrong” and expressed a desire to return a spirit of collegiality to the process.
“The way it was was right. The way it is is wrong,” Ginsburg said to applause. “The atmosphere in ’93 was truly bipartisan. The vote on my confirmation was 96 to three, even though I had spent about ten years of my life litigating cases under the auspices of the ACLU and I was on the ACLU board. . . . That’s the way it should be, instead of what it’s become, which is a highly partisan show. The Republicans move in lock step, so do the Democrats. I wish I could wave a magic wand and have it go back to the way it was.”

Tell that to the Bater.
Yes, she’s gotten so feeble that her partisan filter has broken!
Exactly right. Even in this day and age of hyper partisanship, Obama’s nominees each received well over 60 votes and were treated with respect at all times by Republicans.
No one can stand up to the RBG workout for long. Certainly not RBG herself.
It's ironic that this interview was broadcast a mere week or two after the CNN panegyric to her long, and vigorous career.
Tell that to the Bater.
I mean Bader..Freudian slip.

Hey Ruthie, it’s your friends that are doing it.
Please tell them to stop it.
Thanks.
Only Republican nominees hearings are partisan.
Democrat nominees are rubber stamped by the GOP.
Exactly..................
Just like today, only no internet and no cellphones..............
They will now all question their God. Turn on her in a second. They will now call for her to step down and retire. Senile.
“Ruth Bader Ginsburg Calls Kavanaugh Hearings a ‘Highly Partisan Show’”
So saith the most dishonest partisan legislator on the Supreme Court bench
I can’t imagine her continuing much longer. I was shocked at her interview, she is in bad shape. I don’t wish her ill but she needs to resign for the good of the country, never happen though until she assumes room temperature.
I thought I did! Are you saying Ginsberg doesn’t read my posts on FR? How rude!
She’s to busy over at DU calling Trump a @#$% #$%@.
* The behavior the Dems with Judge nominee Judge Borke, heck they made it a verb!
* Where were you when they did a high tech lynching of Judge Thomas, did ya speak out?
* What were the numbers for the "Consent" portion for all the judges in between? you got 90 something and you are so far left it isn't funny, yet a guy like Orin Hatch pulled the lever for you because it was the President's pick.
Partisan? Yes, the side you often defend has no comity, no morals and even fewer scruples. And I can name the players, Kennedy, Biden, Totenberg, ole Jug Ears Senator Simon, do you want me to go on?
Do you have a link to that video? It’s not in the article.
Buzzy has spoken. And now dozes off yet again!
But you are not partisan are you? You are disgusting.
