Instead of rejoicing over the outcome of the Ricci case, the fact that four justices signed on to GInsubrg’s dissenting opinion fills me with both anger at liberals and dread that the liberal viewpoint will eventually triumph over reason and sensibility. Ginsburg writes, “The Court’s order and opinion, I anticipate, will not have staying power.” I translate this as meaning that Obama is going to be president for another seven and a half years, so the liberals are only one heart attack away from reversing Ricci and imposing their will. It’s an unusually unsportsmanlike statement and demonstrates a disrespect for...

In an interview, Jeffrey Toobin, author of "The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court" (Doubleday), identified the probable retirees as Justices John Paul Stevens, David Souter and Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Toobin gives a detailed account of how the high court has evolved in the past 20 years. The core of the book, however, is its reporting of a campaign by movement conservatives to gain control of...

Justice dozes off during political redistricting hearing, colleagues let her sleep Was it a case of dreaming of a better America, napping on the job, or just being asleep at the switch? Serving on the highest court in the land is apparently a tiring affair for at least one Supreme Court justice who caught 40 winks on the bench, literally. According to the Associated Press, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg snoozed during testimony today over political redistricting in Texas. "The subject matter was extremely technical," notes AP writer Gina Holland, "and near the end of the argument Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg...
