Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's advice to Egypt, as it was writing a new constitution, not to use the U.S. Constitution as a templet (paraphrasing) is as chilling a comment one would not expect to hear from a sitting U.S. Supreme Court justice. Appalling best describes my reaction to reading that comment. Memory deserts me as I attempt to remember Barack Obama's opinion on the Constitution but it went along the lines of the Constitution guarantees our rights but prevents elitists from bending the country to their perception of what those rights should be.
Thank you for updating your essay. The Ginsburgs and Obamas of this country are not proponents of our Republic. Thank God they are still a minority in that belief.
Thank you for these quotes and your opinion. I appreciate how this put together .
