Justice Ginsburg to Resign?

There is no way that Ginsburg will retire (or die for that matter) with a Republican in the White House. Her seat will be safe for the left for many years to come. It amazes me how she got through the process of confirmation so easily. She is a radical liberal, and has never tried to hide it. If the right tried to nominate someone of equal qualifications from their side, shots may be exchanged on the Senate floor before the vote took place.

 

Like her or not, she does provide balance on the
Court.

 

Balance? How can you say that? She provides a healthy dose of insanity. She has the Jewish seat; she was worth about $10 million and must have contributed a lot of money to Clinton. She belongs to the synagogue of Satan in my book.

BiR, please come back to earth, ok?

 

She gives balance to Scalia, who is as "radical right wing" as she is "radical left wing."

Don't forget who recommended Justice Ginsburg to President Clinton........

What's it like on a flying saucer, BiR? Did Monica suggest Ruth to Bill since he seemed to like Jewish women? BiR, we don't need tuna with good taste; we need tuna that taste good. We don't need balance--we need carefully crafted law. The only balance she provides anyway is that she holds what is called the Jewish seat. BiR, call earth.

 

You have to remember she was appointed by a democrat. Republicans, by and large, have always believed the President was entitled to his nominations. Perks of winning the election.

Democrats do not feel that way.

It was and always has been democrats that believe only nominees by a democrat president deserve to be confirmed. Others have to pass one litmus test or another. Sometimes more than one.

 

It used to be that any woman would do, as long as it was a woman. Now it has to a liberal woman.
I don't think it should be any woman, no matter what religion or political leaning. I don't believe a woman should be in that level of authority/leadership. Well, there's my unpopular, politically incorrect, sure to be yelled at for 2 cents worth!

 

Better duck, Pamela.

 

What's with the Jewish comments, is it a joke (it isn't funny) or are you in general anti-sematic?

The "women comment" is beyond belief ... well for everywhere except on this board!

 

No she doesn't.

Balance is that the court rules on law rather than making it. That is the function of the Court. The "imbalance" you perceive in Scalia is his determination that wrong rulings in the past should be corrected to take us back to a place where "strict constructionism" can work.

Ginsburg believes that the court is empowered to "create" new rights. Your statement is only correct to the extent that Scalia doesn't believe this and behaves accordingly.

 

I know. Let's get the court to "look like America". That's what Dems want, right?

That would mean only one member could be a liberal.

 

Okay, regardless of opinions on the topic, can refrain from engaging in rumor and gossip? It damages the Christian witness (and before anyone accuses me of being aliberal, I'd be asking for the same if it were a conservative judge we were talking about).

 

There's no reason, scriptural, societal, or moral, for anyone to hold that opinion, lest that person have gender prejudices.

I believe it is best for a man to hold positions of leadership in government. I prefer being led by men in government. If that makes me gender prejudiced, then I am gender prejudiced, I guess.

 

Johnv,

It has a lot to do with upbrining, and what we were taught and still believe is the proper role of a woman in society.

I, for one, have limited hesitations about a woman being picked for the court, provided she is the kind I agree with.

I have yet to convince myself that I could vote for a woman as President.

If that is prejudice, then so be it. I was raised that a woman should be the caretaker of the home and tend to the needs of her husband and children. That is what my mother and grandmother did. Not only was it expected of them in society, but their joy was in seeing the contentment in the eyes of their loved ones for whom they were caring.

I think the reason I have no real issues with a woman on the SC is because there are several justices and not just one woman in control. That is why I have a problem with a female president.

It may be silly, but that was my upbringing, at home and at church, and I prefer the role of a strong woman in the home rather than a weak woman in government.
