To my conservative friends reading this -- just know this, our supreme court works the way it does for a reason. If there were serious issues with one side or the other, then we would know about it. Each justice's voting record is publicly available, and it's more even spread than you'd think. The cases they decide are literally there for a reason, because it was too complicated for other judges.

@christophercollins2134

3 жыл бұрын

The SC is the final and highest appeals court. The cases they choose to review have already had verdicts rendered (unless it is under the SC's exclusive jurisdiction, which is seldom the case). The lower courts do not pass up their verdicts because cases are too complicated. Regardless, the SC usurped the power of judicial review and with that authority the court can and does legislate laws. That coupled with justices, like Ginsberg, who believe they have free reign to interpret the Constitution as what they believe it ought to mean is what "conservatives" have beef with.

The founders specifically set up the amendment process so that the constitution could evolve with the time, the intention was not to bypass that process in the name of judicial activism. This judicial philosophy sounds great to the ear, but ignores the separation of powers that were specifically established so that the Supreme Court (unelected appointees) couldn't just come in and change the law however their political views saw fit. The supreme court is not a political entity, and is not meant to be influenced by popular opinion. Its job is to objectively apply the law as the legislature who wrote it intended. Also, to say that just because no state allowed for women to vote at the time, the 14th amendment must have have not been meant to included women is simply false, and as a Supreme Court justice, surly RBG she knew that. The US constitution wasn't even first applied to state governments until 1925, and until then it was only seen to control the actions of the federal government, not the states. The 14th amendment very Cleary was meant to include all citizens, including women, and to interpret it as such is not a violation of originalism at all.

I hope that someday there will be a diverse supreme court.

This is why SCOTUS Justices need to have an 18 year term limit with staggered ends dates. This way two justices end their term every 4yr presidential term. If a Justice dies or steps down then the sitting president fills the vacancy for the remainder of that justices term. This will depoliticize the SCOTUS and will end the trend of getting young justices just so they stay there for as long as possible. In the past justices would retire after a good number of years, this is no longer the case.

There is only one way to "interpret" the Constitution. “On every question of construction let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or intended against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.” Thomas Jefferson The Constitution is in essence a contract between the states, that contract once ratified brought the Federal government into existence. It is as the parties (the States) understood it to mean at the time they ratified, not what some politically connected Lawyer in a black robe says it means.

How did she interpret the Constitution? Not very well

Respectfully, Justice Ginsberg comments do not address the issue of how a more perfect union is formed. The Constitution is not a religous document, it is written law. It is not a "living document". Her consitutional method of interpretation (actually its no method) is simply that the constitution means whatever 5 Justices of the Supreme Court claim it means. Hence, her view is simply a power maximazation strategy for the Supreme Court. Of course it is exactly that view that has turned the Supreme Court into a political institution, rather than a judicial one. This is why SCOTUS nominations have turned into the biggest political battle this country goes through. BTW, she mentions women's and minority rights as not being upheld when the constutuion was written. This is true. Those rights have been instituted by amendment of the constittuion. Equal Protection and woman's sufferage were obtained by amending the constitution, not by fiat of the Supreme Court

You don't interpret the constitution... that is not your job. It is the job of the supreme court to uphold the constitution. The federalist papers perfectly outline what each amendment meant and what they wanted.

At 1:20 she finally gets to it: This is straight out of Hegel's theory on Historicism. She was a Prog who sought to undermine the Constitution in classic Prog fashion-by unbolting it from its foundation and allowing it to float on contemporary context. It's the idea that "history" is bringing us to the place we are now. And so a contemporary interpretation is better than an originalist. Except the Founders were dealing with timeless "Natural Law" not shifting whims of historical interpretation. Note how Frederick Douglass didn’t need to do this (yet she regards him as NOT part of “We the People!”). He felt slavery could be abolished if we just follow the timeless words of the Constitution pre-13th Amendment! He interpreted the Constitution better than she did!

@@chairmanoftheboard11 I suggest you take the issue up with Frederick Douglass.

She speaks beautifully about how the phrase "We The People" has expanded over time to include more and more groups of people, groups that were previously discriminated against and powerless. Like Women. Like Blacks. Like American Indians. What is SAD is that RBG did not apply that liberal, big tent view to include UNBORN HUMANS.

It takes two to tango. The president can nominate someone up until the day before his inauguration. That conforms with RBG's comment in 2016. But it's the Senate that decides whether to take up the nomination and render an opinion on his/her suitability for the Court. McConnell decided to make up his own rules, then he gave it a catchy name that suggested it wasn't his doing ("the Biden Rule"). Now we see that McConnell's rules as malleable when it benefits the long-term control of the Court by his party. RBG's dying public statement is directed to the Senate, in the hope that they will delay confirming a nominee until the next term. But it's nice that the GOP is busily labeling the dead justice as a hypocrite as they transparently perform in kind.

@@kylebolton8147 The history of Court nominations has not changed. Yet the same history that they used to ignore Garland for nearly a year is now being used to defend an immediate confirmation for the 9th seat while elections have begun. The rules, laws and norms do not apply it comes to benefitting them.

@J. B. I don't know if anything will go that fast. On one hand, the Senate will want to put someone in immediately while Trump is still in office. Mr. Trump, on the other hand, might want to draw it out til after the election so he can ensure of continuing Republican support. Otherwise, he'd already outlived his usefulness and do most Republicans actually cared for him that much to give him a 2nd term if the Supreme Court is already in their favors?

Someone with that view should not be on the Supreme Court....

The constitution says what it says. Quit trying to reinterpret it to fit your narrative.

Frankly I dont agree , the document is inclusive not exclusive , the founding fathers wrote the constitution with the idea of what USA should be , and who should be part of that USA is up to the people and leadership , like President Abraham Lincoln added the the African American to that idea , so the constitution is like the foundation of the house , what u build upon it and how u decorate is up to u

@joshua traman In 2016 McConnell and Linsey Grahm said after the election. So... anything different is hypocritical. On her death bed RBG said we should wait also. Her friend Scalias died in February 2016, almost 11 months before the election. Mitch stalled it for almost a year. It's 45 days to election. We need to wait like the boys said to let The people choose.

Yes....so in order to form a more perfect union, there is an amendment process. And by that process many of the questionable, even despicable, things Ginsberg would argue for have fortunately NOT been supported by any amendment. Discuss with her consensual sex with minors, abortion (including late term and even post-term execution) and most would differ with Ginsberg considerably. I do not mourn her departure from the Court.
