Reid once said, “You’re not a lawyer. You can’t interpret the Constitution.”

Way to go Ruth! Until the very end she will be a political zealot. Even in the face of death, she is not going to try to achieve a state of grace, her legacy of liberalism and political advocacy is too great.

She is at least true to her core. The face of the ultimate judgment is not going to mellow her.

‘The president is not a lawyer’

Well.. thank God for that.

As for RBG, she’s not a functioning human.

Thank God that this is one insult that she will not throw at President Trump.

“Is Sotomayor a lawyer?”

Not sure. But I’m about 99% certain a SCOTUS member doesn’t have to be a lawyer.

And she is not non-partisan.

She should excuse herself from everything involving Trump that comes before the Court.

Ruth, I guess that statement is reliant on “what the definition of is is.”

Old saying. You're stuck on an island with Stalin, Hitler and a lawyer. You have a gun with two bullets? What do you do?

Answer: Shoot the lawyer twice

True, he’s a victim, not a lawyer. Exempted by God and Shakespeare.

I’m looking forward to her taking time off for cruise across the River Styx.

That’s right, Ruthie, he’s not. He is just the Executive Branch of the US Government.
