1. ”This is a moment, this historic moment, therefore, that all Americans can celebrate. For no one knows better than [Ruth Bader Ginsburg] that it is the law that provides the rules that permit us to live together and that permit us to overcome the infirmities, the bigotry, the prejudice, the limitations of our past and our present.” — BILL CLINTON at RBG’s swearing in, 23 years ago today.

  3. “White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest is unsurprised by Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s decision to wade into the murky waters of election year politics.

    The 83-year-old associate justice made waves last week when she attacked presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and said she didn’t want to think about the possibility of him being elected. Asked during Wednesday’s press briefing if the White House thought it appropriate for Ginsburg to be making such comments, Earnest said, ‘she didn’t earn the nickname ‘The Notorious RBG’ for nothing.’ … 

    ‘I would not call her competence into question. I think anybody who’s observed her, she’s done her work,’ Earnest said. ‘Whether you agree with her or not, and whether you agree with every ruling she has issued, I think over the course of her career, she’s demonstrated a keen intellect and understanding of the law and a commitment to understanding that it’s applied fairly to every American citizen.’”

     


  4. Yes, Donald, it is surely Justice Ginsburg who has embarrassed us all…

  5. When despots have ascended to power in other regimes, one wonders how judges should have responded. Should they have adhered to a code of silence while their country went to hell? Not on the watch of the Notorious R.B.G.

    breakingpoems:

    Ruth,
    you beautiful creature,
    you spin history
    with your delicate fingers,
    telling men to step off
    our pieced-together capes
    that sputter us toward
    a future state –
    where we live and love
    and struggle together,
    perhaps not in agreement,
    but not saying never.
    Where we endeavor to learn
    each other like lessons,
    tear down walls,
    and temper aggression.
    Girls everywhere
    swoon over you,
    our fantasy grandmother
    who comes to our rescue.

    Ruth Bader Ginsburg slams Texas’ anti-abortion arguments: “Beyond rational belief” – June 27, 2016

     


  9. Texas argues that H.B.2’s restrictions are constitutional because they protect the health of women who experience complications from abortions. In truth, complications from an abortion are both rare and rarely dangerous. Many medical procedures, including childbirth, are far more dangerous to patients, yet are not subject to ambulatory surgical-center or hospital admitting-privileges requirements. Given those realities, it is beyond rational belief that H.B.2 could genuinely protect the health of women, and certain that the law would simply make it more difficult for them to obtain abortions. When a State severely limits access to safe and legal procedures, women in desperate circumstances may resort to unlicensed rogue practitioners, [for lack of an alternative], at great risk to their health and safety. So long as this Court adheres to Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. Casey, Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers laws like H.B.2 that do little or nothing for health, but rather strew impediments to abortion, cannot survive judicial inspection.
