American Thinker:
Justice Ginsburg has rebuked the Democrat presidential candidates like Pete Buttigieg who have spoken about packing the Supreme Court by expanding its membership to 15, should Democrats win the presidency and Senate in 2020. She’s an old-style ACLU liberal, and understands a few things about political legitimacy that escape lesser minds like Buttigieg and Kamala Harris.
Speaking to NPR’s leftist court correspondent Nina Totenberg, Justice Ginsburg said a number of interesting things. Totenberg writes:
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said in an interview Tuesday that she does not favor proposals put forth by some Democratic presidential candidates who have advocated changing the number of Supreme Court justices if the Democrats win the presidency.
Ginsburg, who got herself in trouble criticizing candidate Donald Trump in 2016, this time was critical not of any particular Democratic contender, but of their proposals to offset President Trump’s two conservative appointments to the court.
“Nine seems to be a good number. It’s been that way for a long time,” she said, adding, “I think it was a bad idea when President Franklin Roosevelt tried to pack the court.”
She reportedly also said nice things about Kavanaugh and Gorsuch. That’s three strikes…
Funny, isn’t it, that leftists who think packing the court is a good idea don’t want to do it until a Dem is president. It would be fun for Trump to just ask them ‘If it’s such a great idea, should I do it now?’
“Speaking to NPR’s leftist court correspondent Nina Totenberg…”
Isn’t describing an NPR correspondent as “leftist” unnecessary?
Guess she won’t be getting that live donor heart transplant (or whatever it was now), huh?
Too little, too late ACLU hag.
Does not atone for DECADES of illegal legislation from the bench.
I’m surprised she’s still able to speak after having been embalmed for so long.
“I think it was a bad idea when President Franklin Roosevelt tried to pack the court.”
…she would have TOLD him that, too, but even THEN she was too old for most Democrats to want her around…
Petey likes to pack a lot more than the supreme court.
Ask her opinion of crimes committed after a special counsel is appointed
“Ginsburg, who got herself in trouble criticizing candidate Donald Trump in 2016…”
Really? She “got herself in trouble”? With whom? What was her punishment?
“I think it was a bad idea when President Franklin Roosevelt tried to pack the court.”
And she knew fdr, they dated in high school.
Bongo
