This woman is obviously no longer capable of performing her duties with
her full faculties intact. She is already known to sleep during oral
arguments being heard before the court, and has been known to be found
wandering lost throughout the court house. This latest interview lends
credence to the rumors that perhaps dementia has set in. President Obama
should sit down with her and explain clearly why she should resign for
the good of the Supreme Court and the entire country.

One member of the U.S. Supreme Court, whose members are sworn to uphold
the Constitution of the United States, says she would look elsewhere –
Canada, South Africa and Europe – should she be tasked with writing a
constitution now.


The stunning statements come from Ruth Bader Ginsburg.


She was being interviewed by Al Hayat in Egypt, which is trying to
develop a government after citizens deposed longtime dictator President
Hosni Mubarack last year.


Egypt is facing major obstacles to a democratic form of government as
the Muslim Brotherhood as a political party has been assembling a
majority in the country. Among its goals is a Muslim caliphate worldwide.


She was asked: “Would your honor’s advice be to get a part or other
countries’ constitutions as a model, or should we develop our own draft?


Her response:


“You should certainly be aided by all the constitution-writing that has
gone on since the end of World War II. I would not look to the U.S.
constitution, if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012. I
might look at the constitution of South Africa. That was a deliberate
attempt to have a fundamental instrument of government that embraced
basic human rights, had an independent judiciary. It really is, I think,
a great piece of work that was done.


“Much more recent than the U.S. Constitution is Canada has a Charter of
Rights and Freedoms. It dates from 1982. You would almost certainly look
at the European Convention on Human Rights. Yes, why not take advantage
of what there is elsewhere in the world? I’m a very strong believer in
listening and learning from others.”

[snip character assassination and thoroughly uninformed and ignorant blather
consisting of what the obligations of U.S. Supreme Court justice are]


The United States Constitution, even with its 27 amendments, is a DEEPLY
FLAWED document. Constitutions are generally imperfect, but why set up the
foundation of a new one from a deeply flawed one?


In its original construction, the U.S. Constitution denied NATURAL rights to
anyone who was not a white man. In written form it exalted human slavery and
furthered the unevolved thought that women and children were the property of
husband/father, and not human beings.

It still retains the palm-to-forehead-slap-in-disbelief fallacious notion
that a tyranny of the minority is the solution to the problem of a tyranny of
the majority. The United States Senate, which today is the very quintessence
of the idea "paralysis in government," is not a product of great
philosophical meditation, but rather something called the Great Compromise in
order to entice southern colonies---who were for the most part Tory Loyalists
willing to continue genuflecting to the King of Great Britain, and who
confirmed that treasonous character to their fellow citizens of the United
States by becoming rebel scum about three generations later.

There is much to reject the idea that the U.S. Constitution, as dated and
still missing many necessary amendments, such as the Conditions-for-War
Amendment, is no model for a new democracy.

The purpose and goal of any constitution is to make the government
accountable to the people. Holding periodic elections serves that purpose,
and probably the ONLY thing that does, and a constitution, other than
expliciting enumerating rights and liberties within the document, can at
least try to ably serve that particular purposes.

The problem is that the U.S. Constitution MISERABLY fails to hold any of the
three branches truly accountable to the people. Lifetime appointments for
judges? Absolutely UNNECESSARY and WRONG! A too powerful executive? More
can be done to curb that power. A term of SIX years for a member of a
legislative body that only serves to paralyze the government rather than
improve its effectiveness???? I don't think so!!

And what about states of war for the new nation? It should now be very clear
to voter and citizen of the United States of America living in the last 30
years that when NOT EVERYONE IN THE NATION has skin in the game when the
country vaults itself into a very serious matter---declaring itself to be in
a state of war with another nation---then the wars get fought by what are
effectively mercenaries (professional soldiers). NO MORE! When the country
enters a state of war, EVERYONE WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO VOTE MUST BE COMPELLED
TO GIVE SOMETHING TO IT, including being mobilized into combat or zones of
combat. Those who don't go to combat must give MORE TIME IN SERVICE than
those who do go into combat. And that includes everyone, even those who have
served previously (they can be given special reductions in for time of
service).

Net effect? No more needless wars. Wars should be fought ONLY when people
are in fear of their lives and prosperity, and only when everyone has that
fear. Such a constitutional provision will drastically eliminate wars being
fought in our names, but not with our bodies.

No, the new democracies in the Arab world should draw widely from the
experiences and thoughts of other nations, and should give the U.S.
Constitution not more than equal weight, and probably less weight. We do
good things here, but not necessarily because they are explicitly defined in
our Constitution.

The my-country-love-it-or-leave-it "we're number one" (in ass-kicking) crowd
of nationalist should take a hike. Your opinions are not wanted. GFY.

She, along with Henry Kissinger, Dick Cheney, Bill Clinton, George
Bush, Newt Gingrich and others; and each with their own agenda....

This woman
is so far above you, in mind and morals, that you, "J", and your pro-
liar friends, including the ones on the U.S. Supreme Court, that none of
you are fit to bow down and kiss her little toe!

to repost? </snip>
Summary: Pro-liars hate the idea of having anyone who will uphold
women's rights sit on the U.S. Supreme court. So, what else is new?

Abortion and sterilization, they save the lives, health and futures of
women and men alike!

Pretty fund that's "reported" in the Neo-con's 'World Net Daily'.

Ginsburg was never fit for the court.
