AMAZING!! Three quotes from a sitting Supreme Court Justice displaying HER LIBERAL AGENDA.

Ginsburg: 'Any Woman Will Not Do' for Job

Ruth Bader Ginsburg told an audience Wednesday that she doesn't like the idea of being the only female justice on the Supreme Court. But in choosing to fill one of the two open positions on the court, "any woman will not do," she said.

There are "some women who might be appointed who would not advance human rights or women's rights," Ginsburg told those gathered at the New York City Bar Association.

The retirement of Ginsburg's colleague Sandra Day O'Connor has fueled speculation about whether President Bush will nominate a woman to her position.

Federal Judge John G. Roberts originally was Bush's nominee for O'Connor's seat but now is facing a Senate vote on the job of chief justice, a position left vacant after the death of William H. Rehnquist.

Ginsburg stressed that the president should appoint a "fine jurist," adding that there are many women who fit that description.

"I have a list of highly qualified women, but the president has not consulted me," she added during a brief interview Wednesday night.

Ginsburg arrived in New York to attend an annual lecture named in her honor. The lecture's focus is on women and the law.

This year, Mary Robinson, former president of Ireland, delivered it, while Ginsburg participated in a question-and-answer session afterward.

During the session, which was attended by hundreds, Ginsburg defended some of the justices' references to laws in other countries when making decisions, a practice strongly opposed by some U.S. legislators. The justice said using foreign sources does not mean giving them superior status in deciding cases.

"I will take enlightenment wherever I can get it," she said. "I don't want to stop at a national boundary."

When reminded that Roberts has indicated he disagrees with the practice of referring to foreign laws, Ginsburg said it appeared he "is a man who does listen and is willing to learn."

Ginsburg, an associate justice since 1993, is the second woman named to the high court; the first was O'Connor. Ginsburg was a noted advocate of women's rights during her work as an attorney and is considered one of the more liberal Supreme Court justices.

Uhh, Justice Ginsberg. FYI it is not the job of the SCOTUS to ADVANCE anyone's rights! Your job is to APPLY THE LAW within the bounds of the Constitution.

AND your job is not to consult and advise the President about whom to appoint to the court! So put your list away.

AND you should not look to the laws of foreign countries for 'enlightenment'!!
OUR laws are based on OUR Constitution.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

When did the Asso. Justice of the SC become a part of the Advise and Consent process. This woman needs to be replaced. This takes activism into new territory.

Unfortunately, Supreme Court appointments are for life. Ginsburg would have to voluntarily leave.
To make matters worse, that over-ego'd cow, Hillary, has now declared that she will vote against Roberts.

If Darth Vader Ginsburg doesn't like being the only female justice, she can always resign, after examining foreign law, of course.

Maybe we won't ever let another Ginsberg get on the SC.
The Dems can block, the Republicans can block. Street runs both ways.

She may not realize she doesn't get a vote in this process...unless she plans to write some more law from the bench on this matter .

Isn't Ruth Buzzie Ginsberg setting back "women" with her complaint that she can't handle being the only female on the bench? She sounds like a fretting, hands-clasped weak woman to me when she makes statements like that.

[PhantomSgt]

Ruth just needs another woman to go to the bathroom with her during court breaks to gossip and talk about men.

She says she has a list as well. Just what we need, more ACLU Liberal hacks wanting the age of consent for girls lowered to 12 and legalizing prostitution.

I would like to see another real strong conservative nominated and Ginsberg relegated to the back of the bench, where her rantings no longer matter.
