Justice Ginsburg Calls U.S. Constitution a Bad Example

Washington, DC –

U.S. (liberal) Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg recently told an interviewer on Egyptian TV that they should use the United States Constitution as a model for their constitution. She felt the constitution should focus more on human rights.

Ginsburg said, , “I would not look to the US Constitution if I were drafting a Constitution in the year 2012.” Instead, Justice Ginsburg referred to the constitutions of more supposedly progressive countries, like South Africa, Canada, and the European Convention on Human Rights.

She stated, “I can’t speak about what the Egyptian experience should be, because I’m operating under a rather old constitution.” She obviously believes the U.S. Constitution is no longer relevant today. Odd; coming from someone who has sworn to uphold and defend that Constitution. May I remind the (somewhat less than, in my opinion) Honorable Ms. Bader Ginsburg that she took an oath, swearing to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States. It is not her job to twist and bend the Constitution of the United States to fit her liberal beliefs.

Her job isn’t to pick and choose which parts of the Constitution should or should not be upheld.

Any problems we have aren't the fault of or any lacking on the part of our United States Constitution. It was well thought out and drafted at a time when we were subservient to the King and under tyranny. The founders did an incredible job of drafting the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights. The problem is NOT with the document, but rather Supreme Court Justices who want to find and interpret things that aren’t in it and ignore those things that are in it.

This gives us all an insight into the mind of a liberal United States Supreme Court Justice. I should add that I don’t want to see a Conservative Justice take the same path. The U.S. Constitution is what it is. Don’t take ‘artistic license’ with it. If we’re going ignore it and interpret it on a whim; we may as well roll the hemp that it was printed on and smoke it. Whoa, Dude! Where’s my Constitution?
