Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg insults the U.S. Constitution.

The only thing I'd like to add to this is maybe its time to impeach Justice Ginsberg for admitting she cannot uphold her oath of office. If Justice Ginsberg or any other Supreme Court Justice cannot protect and defend the Constitution they should resign or be thrown off the bench. The U.S. Constitution is the fabric that holds our Republic together and prevents tyranny from running rampant in America. Over the years liberals on the Supreme Court like Ginsberg have been shooting holes in that treasured document as if it were a sign posted on some remote backwater road.

Justice Ginsburg Calls U.S. Constitution a Bad Example

www.LC.org
Washington, DC - In a recent interview with Egyptian television, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg insulted the U.S. Constitution and advised Egypt to look somewhere else when drafting its own constitution. Justice Ginsburg was asked to give insight on this crucial topic for the post-Mubarak government but focused more on liberal human rights, rather than traditional American freedom.

When describing the nature of a constitution, Justice Ginsburg did appropriately recognize the importance of a constitution and the duty of the citizens to defend it. Justice Ginsburg did not, unfortunately, take her own advice. She undermined insight of its crafters and stated, “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.” This directly refutes the U.S. Constitution’s relevance today.
For a United States Supreme Court Justice, entrusted with the duty to interpret the Constitution, this type of statement is unacceptable. Justice Ginsburg failed to respect the authority of the document that it is her duty to protect. When given the opportunity to promote American liberty abroad, Justice Ginsburg did just the opposite and pointed Egypt in the direction of progressivism and the liberal agenda.

Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law, said, “For a sitting U.S. Supreme Court Justice to speak derisively about the Constitution she is sworn to uphold is distressing, to say the least. Justice Ginsburg's comments about our Constitution undermine the Supreme Court as an institution dedicated to the rule of law, as well as our founding document.”

As for Mathew Staver's comment, “For a sitting U.S. Supreme Court Justice to speak derisively about the Constitution she is sworn to uphold is distressing, to say the least.", THAT is an understatement. Justice Ginsberg should be hauled before Congress and read the riot act. That old expression that says, "America, Love It Or Leave It" applies to everyone, including the Supreme Court.
