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.”
