Factually untrue, even by Vader Ginsburg's own admission. For instance, in her infamous Madison Lecture, the dried-up old cunt said, "judges do and must legislate". She later described herself as the "leader of the liberal opposition", which should have immediately led to her dismissal, and said the Supreme Court at the time (2013) was "the most activist court in history" because of her dimwitted decisions.Wut wrote: ↑Sat Sep 19, 2020 11:39 pmRighties go on about judicial activism but I bet they have to google to find examples to support their argument; it’s mostly a talking point they heard on tv.Deathproof wrote: ↑Sat Sep 19, 2020 11:17 pmI've never denied it. They did the right thing blocking a Hussein nominee, because he would doubtless have tried to install yet another liberal legislate-from-the-bench activist instead of an actual justice. We stopped that. Problem solved.AnalHamster wrote: ↑Sat Sep 19, 2020 10:41 pmThen you are ignorant of the process. Moscow mitch has to flat out rush to get it done without doing it in the lame duck recess.

Only problem with your prediction is that we're not losing the White House or the Senate
The republicans claimed they had to block an Obama nominee for 10 months because it was the job of the next president, now they say it has d to be done in 50 days because the current president, projected to lose, is the current president. Literally no one is fooled, your refusal to admit the difference is solely in political party just exposes you as a hack liar. Are you seriously going to advance the latest talking points as an excuse? Just admit you want different rules for your party, at least you'd be honest.
Now we have a chance to install a Conservative who will actually do the job correctly. They absolutely should do it as soon as possible. The election is immaterial; President Trump is going to be re-elected, that's just a fact. They should install a new justice now, because the executive branch isn't going to change.
She also was noted for having imposed rules about what words the other justices could and could not use in arguments, dissents, and opinions. I dont know why the other justices didnt tell her to sit down and shut up, but they obeyed when she mandated that they could not use the terms "illegal alien" or "illegal immigrant" ("undocumented" was what she chose to allow), she ruled that unborn babies could not be called "babies" but rather must be known as "fetuses", and that any so-called "gendered" words were forbidden. For instance, she famously tore into Justice Clarence Thomas for saying "postman" and decreed that "letter carrier" was the allowable terminology. Again, why he and the other justices didnt tell her "go brush your tooth, you old crypt keeper-looking seahag", I have no idea.
Let's not forget the time she voted to uphold Affirmative Action at the University of Michigan, despite it being unconstitutional by both federal constitutional standards and state constitutional standards. She decided it was okay to make a blatantly activist ruling because "“We are not far distant from an overtly discriminatory past", as she put it. She therefore decided discriminating against white people is okay because things were bad for black people a century ago. Thankfully, a majority of the other, more correct justices put a stop to that shit.
I could go on, but her record of goofy, out-of-her-jurisdiction legislation from the bench speaks for itself. She was an evil, biased, partisan scumbag and we're better off without her.
