At least she didnt shoot her friend in the face, not all can say the same. Thinkingabout Feb 2015 #1

None of the Supremes have done that. nt arthritisR_US Feb 2015 #48

no, just the vice president ND-Dem Feb 2015 #65

And as far as I recall there was little to zero arthritisR_US Feb 2015 #91

really? It endears her to me even more. I adore Ruth Bader Ginsberg. hlthe2b Feb 2015 #2

Do you adore her being buddy-buddy with Scalia? Having fun with him on vacations? pnwmom Feb 2015 #18

It surely hasn't changed her views and her advocation for those views, so no, I am not hlthe2b Feb 2015 #26

Who cares about her private life? Their friendship sure hasn't influenced her votes or opinions. merrily Feb 2015 #49

She opposes Roe V Wade now. mr_liberal Feb 2015 #56

No, she does not oppose reproductive choice. That is a misinterpretation of her comments. merrily Feb 2015 #58

She says now that it was wrongly decided, mr_liberal Feb 2015 #60

Have her out of court comments affected any case? Also, I don't think you get it. merrily Feb 2015 #61

Many states would have kept abortion illegal without Roe mr_liberal Feb 2015 #73

Since you seem to want to nail Justice Ginsberg to the cross. William769 Feb 2015 #77

Where did I say anything about her decisions? mr_liberal Feb 2015 #81

That's what I thought. Typical. William769 Feb 2015 #83

Factual. Logical. Correct. Any one of those words. eom mr_liberal Feb 2015 #85

IOW, you know of no case at all in which Ginsburg has restricted freedom of choice. Good news. merrily Feb 2015 #82

Mandated ultra sounds can be ruled unconstitutional. mr_liberal Feb 2015 #84

Voice of reason, HA! The voice of mouthing off without knowing what you are talking about--- merrily Feb 2015 #86

There are many pro-choice lawyers and legal scholars . . . markpkessinger Feb 2015 #94

It might have influenced her not to retire. He could be encouraging her to stay on the Court as long as possible pnwmom Feb 2015 #89

Pure speculation, except the part that seems like it could be somewhat sexist assumption. merrily Feb 2015 #90

I have to agree. prayin4rain Feb 2015 #108

Sure, why not? SickOfTheOnePct Feb 2015 #104

Yeah, but when your friend does some really messed up stuff F4lconF16 Feb 2015 #105

I'm not one to give up friendships over politics SickOfTheOnePct Feb 2015 #106

You're asking her to step aside. You're definitely the one who needs convincing muriel_volestrangler Feb 2015 #95

With a GOP - controlled Senate? Yeah, great plan (not). MADem Feb 2015 #35

Sounds rather authoritarian Kalidurga Feb 2015 #34

Unrec. BTW, are you familar with Justice William O. Douglas? FSogol Feb 2015 #39

Not a good example at all. former9thward Feb 2015 #79
