Justice Ginsburg out?
I think we can all agree that Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsburg was going to resign during Barack’s term, lest she be replaced by yet another conservative justice on the court, but today’s news that she has been diagnosed with and treated for pancreatic cancer may certainly hurry along that process. Pancreatic cancer is a very deadly form of the disease, and almost always fatal within 5 years. I think I can speak for all of us here at H&B when I say that we sincerely wish her all the best for a full and speedy recovery.
Ginsberg has been one of the court’s most vocal and liberal judges, writing and reading the dissent against the court’s decision on the legality of partial birth abortion. I can’t understand why ANYONE, even supporters of free, on-demand abortion for convenience sake would support such a grisly and horrible procedure, but she put her liberal views before common respect for life and said that it was a conservative effort to ‘chip away at a woman’s right to choose’. (Instead of a liberal’s effort to chip away at a baby’s skull and suck their brains out…) I actually heard a detailed description of the process today on an audio book I had borrowed and it almost made me wretch on my keyboard as I worked.
I don’t expect that she will be replaced with anyone other than a screaming left wing female justice (the lefties wouldn’t allow anything else) and Barack will certainly oblige them. You see, THIS is really where elections count. If McCain is Prez, the court is totally changed for a good twenty years. Now it will remain much the same as it has. Again, I’m certainly NOT glad that she has cancer, that would make me an absolute jerk. Do I want her ideology off the court? You betcha. Best wishes, Justice G, but you’re still wrong.
