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 of other countries’ constitutions as a model, or should we develop our own draft?

She’s not the only one who says that! So do those invovled in the CFR and the Tri-Lateralists Commissions, United nations, etc. The Constitution is totally without any effect with Elitists running our country to the ground. Ron Paul 2012. Think outside of the box.

@Siteunseen, I didn’t have to read any further than your post. I was questioning is it that she is anti-American or is she talking in disgust how the patriot act and other unconstitutional laws are helping dissolve the foundations of our nation. Those are the real culprits…so who’s version is she speaking of???

Justice Ginsburg is on the Supreme Court of the United States of America and she is referring to the “old constitution” that she works under!!! You are referring to the violations of that constitution which she is sworn to uphold.

Considering she is one of the ACLUs own and the ACLU is one of the biggest threats to the US Constitution, guess we should not be too surprised that she actually admits it.

She is so far out from TRUTH—and she would not recognize truth if she sat on it with her hard-head and hard-A$$!!!
She needs to get out.

I question this lady’s credentials as an American. The Supreme Court should be purged of all those who do not uphold the principles of America’s founding. Shame on you Justice Ginsburg. Is it possible to censure a sitting justice? She clearly does not take her oath to heart.

I would like to know why,,the “Oath” that judges, congress, the President,,take, and when broken is not a violation of law? An Oath to the US Constitution,, the law of the land,, and the oath is violated and no one is removed or prosecuted,, for said violation?? If congress will not make it a law,, we need a petition to let the people vote on it…and start removing thoee that violate their oath….in the courts,, a violation of oath and the court takes action..

It used to be called “Treason”! Now they don’t arrest people for “Treason” they pat them on the back. Not much difference between Court Justices and Democrats and Republicrats. We’ve got a huge problem on our hands, and we need to change the way we look at Government, or the Constitution will be in shambles, which is already the case. Courts have too much power. Dems and Repubs have taken too much lobbyist money. Crony Corporatism. Nation Building. Wars for Oil. Destroying the good name of those who would oppose the system in place which is Oligarchyism at its worst.

If there is no legal ramification to the violation of the oath of office, then it is merely a dead ritual. Pomp and circumstance with no meaning. Why else place your hand on a bible and swear?

Yes….and she did not overstep that boundary. Let’s be logical. What she said was that IF she were starting from scratch, she would use other Constitutions as her models for designing a Constitution.
That is a different subject and question from what she sees as her role with the SCOTUS. It does not, by itself, indicate that she would do other than enforce the existing Constitution (although we may think she does so in a biased or even subversive manner).

Ginsburg was relating Our Constitution as to how useful it would be in Egypt.
on 04 February 2012 / 9:18 PM
Cincinnati Rick says,
Ginsburg did not say that the US Constitution is subject to being ignored or supplanted under the guise of “interpreting” it. But there is a slippery slope there where one, finding the document inadequate, is inevitably drawn to the temptation to “improve” it…without even consciously setting out to do so. The Constitution then becomes a “living” documment, subject to bending and accommodating to the times.
What is really even more dangerous is the notion that a charter which delimits what government may do and, specifically, what it may not do TO the citizen, can be converted to provide what the government must do FOR the citizen. To interpret the Constitution in this fashion without actual amendment of the Constitution is a great threat to our liberty and a denial of the fundamental nature of our INALIENABLE rights. Beware rights which are granted by government because they may, logically, be rescinded by government

Donald Berrian says,
This post is stupid. No one is asking her to rewrite the Constitution. Besides it is Congress with laws like the “Patriot” Act, SOPA, and the repeal of Habius Corpus that is destroying the Constitution lately. The court has been too busy trying to restrain the other branches of government to dream up their own changes.

While we have pros and cons here on the old granny I will remind you of this!
I heard this woman say that she voted for Roe v Wade becauase she thought it was to get rid of he undesirables!!!!
So her actions do not surprise me!
This never hit the main stream media or even many conservative sites! I was shocked.
Globalist anyone? So then take what she is and what she has done in the courts as a whole!
She is so much better and more entitled
than the little people here or anywhere else.

Do you have the video or paper which quotes her saying that? I do know Margaret Sanger, started Planned Barrenhood to take out the undesireables. Abortion Clinincs are rampant in Black Neighborhoods.

I have seen/heard this comment by Ginsburg as well. It’s been awhile and I can’t recall the source. Perhaps you could type in something like: ‘Ginsburg and Abortion Rights’ as a search on the web. I’m sure you could track down this statement. It may have been taken out of context at the time so I can’t verify the accuracy.

Cyn says,
Hi site,
This was about a year or so ago (maybe more)! I was totally shocked that it was not given more public exposure. I am sorry that I do not remember where it came from.
bmusic 65 has a good idea. Research it. You will find it since this ancient throw back does not do many appearances! I believe, although I cannnot swear to it, that it was a video.

After this remark, I think there should be a limit on the age a SCOTUS can serve. She has dementia.

No “twinkie defenses” for her please.
She is a pure elitist who thinks she is above the little man.
That is the nicest thing I can say.
She knows exactly what she is doing and what she has done.

Unless Egypt allows “Freedom of Religion” there is no hope for any type of a Constitution. How does one form a Government on a “Shariah” Compliant populace? How does Democracy work when no one has a right to worship according to the dictates of their own conscience?

Robert M. Anderson says,
Since the Judiciary, Executive, and Legislative branches, as well as military and sworn LEOs take the same oath to “protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic”, she should immediately be impeached and removed from the bench. This goes for all the liberal loon judges who disregard the most basic Founding Document.

This is only the tip of the iceberg as most of your representatives are bought by the oligarchy of banksters and big corporate monopolists, through their special interest bribes.
Our Constitution is the only barrier to the New World Order and our inalienable rights, freedoms and property.
As the sheeple are kept dumbed down to the truth through the lamestream media’s presstitutes, they will keep on getting away with it.
Vote Ron Paul 2012…. the ONLY candidate that even knows how to spell “Constitution” let alone what it means.

This is an example of one of the progressive fools we have been cursed with since Lincoln started the process in the 1860′s. This is why these people DO NOT MATTER. It is up to people like You and me to make these people the no factor. Learn about Jury Nullification. http://www.fij.org and learn how to make the nonsense coming out of these people just not metter.
