| This lady is truly an amazing justice. Although she leans liberal, she has an independent voice and is very valuable to the balance of the Supreme Court. | posted by Moirane

| Judges are not lawmakers, they are law interpreters. Because she is involved in judicial activism, she is directly involved in the subverting of the US Constitution like a termite gnawing away at the tree from within. There is nothing whatsoever to recommend about her -indeed she has been the most unqualified of the justices on the court since her 1993 appointment. Furthermore, she should have been DQ'ed from consideration because of the conflict of interest of appointing as a Supreme Court justice a former the lead attorney for the ACLU. Another way of saying it is this: appointing the CEO of Union Carbide as president of the EPA is the same kind of conflict of interest as putting Ms. Ginsberg on the court.

| | If you think judges can't or shouldn't make law, or that the so-called Founders thought they shouldn't, you're wrong. In a common law system, such as is used in the United States (except Louisiana and Puerto Rico, nominally) lawmaking is what judges do - they do not simply say "you win, and you lose." Every judgment stands as a precedent that has the force of declaring the law, beyond deciding that case. Just how binding the precedent is depends usually on what court said it and what court is considering it. Judicial lawmaking is so essential to our system of justice that if judges didn't make law, nearly all of the law that governs your everyday life would be out the window. For example, nearly all of property law is based on judicial precedents handed down over a period of centuries. So the popularly quoted idea that judges shouldn't make law is more a political statement by those who want to attack particular decisions rather than an accurate reflection of centuries of this country's history. | posted by Anonymous

| "The opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch." Thomas Jefferson
Regard, here is the weakness in our democracy. Lifetime appointees like Ginsberg who would claim the Constitution a living document and gleefully venture overseas for guidance in their liberal opinions. The supreme court she rules from has turned into an oligarchy, disgracefully overturning decisions of the people and the states. | posted by Stephen G
