    I don't care that she is a liberal, she is real! You've just gotta like Justice Ginsberg!

    "Now we've seen the high degree of polarization in recent years," Ginsburg said at a LBJ Foundation event Thursday. "Yes, that's true… My hope is that someday there will be patriots on both sides of the aisle who are determined to stop the dysfunction we are now experiencing and will decide that their institutional government should work for the benefit of all of the people."

    [snip]

    When asked what her fears for the U.S. over the next decade were, she continued: "That is the fear that this polarization will continue, and my greatest hope is that it will end. So you think back to how it was in '93, the person who was my biggest supporter on the Senate Judiciary Committee was not the then-chairman, although the chairman was certainly in my corner; it was then-Senator Biden. But my greatest supporter was Orrin Hatch of Utah. And, Strom Thurmond gave me a supply of Strom Thurmond key chains, which has lasted until last year."

    She is something. I don't know how she keeps up the work at her age, I just respect the effort.

    Funny that no one else here seems to care for her. I guess maybe y'all didn't know she was tight with Scalia. I know y'all liked him! They even vacationed together. Just goes to show how both sides can get along. What's wrong with congress? Why can't they get along?

    I think Ginsberg is a very ethical and straightforward Justice. She is liberal and she's not ashamed of it. I think she's really great in her own regard. I just generally disagree with some of her legal reasoning on some of the opinions that she has written.

    I agree with both points...I know her political stance, but I'll admit I have not made a study of her judicial decisions...I know she has an abiding hatred of President Trump, and has inspired some true fanatics because of it...(I refer to one in particular who offered to die for an immediate heart transplant if it would prolong her life)...

    But I still think she should have retired some time ago with her health issues......Ben
