Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Protesting the national anthem is ‘dumb and disrespectful’

Chicago Tribune: As a legal scholar, Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg supports the decision by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and other athletes to protest racial injustice by refusing to stand for the national anthem. But personally? She doesn’t like it one bit.

“Would I arrest them for doing it? No,” Ginsburg said in a Yahoo interview with Katie Couric. “I think it’s dumb and disrespectful. I would have the same answer if you asked me about flag burning. I think it’s a terrible thing to do, but I wouldn’t lock a person up for doing it. I would point out how ridiculous it seems to me to do such an act.” MORE

  1. She is part of the socialist machine
    that spent every day since WWII chewing at the foundations of the Republic. Now that they have put big cracks in it, her personal, little snits over the scum they enabled to
    dis the Flag and Our Anthem are meaningless drivel.

  2. Doesn’t quite jib with her assertion to ignore our Constitution if starting anew and use the new ANC inspired S African one instead as a beginning.

    She was OKed as a SCJ by a 93-3 vote. Which meant 40 some odd Rs ignored her very visible past as an usurper of our Constitution. Pitiful. The sooner she’s looking up at grass roots the better.
