    The late Ruth Batter Ginsburg for one. On a trip to advise foreign nations on how to construct their constitutions, she told them it was outmoded and obsolete.

    Basically, if you are not with them, then you are against them. So "your side" from their perspective is anyone against them.

    Oh. And I supported or was part of that selective and dubious parsing?

    I think it is more along the lines that MAGA requires group-think. There are no true thoughts, ideals or policies, just vagaries that require confirmation and affirmation through mutual required agreement, and hence they assume everyone else is a binary.

    She was influenced by Justice Scalia. Justice Scalia has made some interesting statements over the years. One of them was he thought the rights under the Soviet Constitution were better than ours. That does not mean he agreed with communism, but to hear his argument that the Soviet Constitution was written in such as a way that it lead to a one-party state and the state guaranteed certain rights to its people. In that, he argued that we had separation of powers, especially between the legislative, executive, and judicial. In the beginning, the judicial was just an afterthought. Now, it is one of the most powerful branches of government that has crushed both Democratic and Republican administrations alike. He also said that every country has a Constitution and he usually has to argue with Europeans about what the US Separation of Powers is compared to the European separation of powers, among other things. European Separation of Powers is between Judicial and Legislative/Executive. The Executive is just a continuation of the legislative, especially in parliamentary governments like UK and others.

    Ours was created in a time when kings ruled and were absolute. That the King granted the rights you had as God's lone servant and Ambassador to the people. We argued it was to each individual and came up with the Enlightenment Philosophy within the confines of our Constitution.

    But the statement you are referring to is taken way out of context. Here is the "rest of the story:"
    https://www.factcheck.org/2018/12/ruth-bader-ginsburg-taken-way-out-of-context/

    It says, "You should certainly be aided by all the constitution writing that has gone on since the end of World War II. I would not look to the U.S. Constitution if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012. I might look at the constitution of South Africa — that was a deliberate attempt to have a fundamental instrument of government that embraced basic human rights, had an independent judiciary. It really is, I think, a great piece of work that was done. Much more recently than the U.S. Constitution, Canada has the Charter of Rights and Freedoms — dates from 1982. You would almost certainly look at the European Convention on Human Rights. So, yes, why not take advantage of what there is elsewhere in the world?" What she was emphasizing here was the embrace of human rights, the 21st century equivalent of "Englightenment" in the modern age.

    I think you've nailed it! I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't have something to do with alot of the Trump witch hunts. She still wields power among Democrats.

    It's clear that this is quite okay with some if it means their orange man bad is gone forever. I wonder if they'll still dream about him. They can't seem to be able to let go.

    What some are saying is that Trump shouldn't have had the presidential power to do ~anything~ without running it by their team first. :)

    I always find it uncanny how some suggest others do what they probably ought to do themselves. They cried about Hillary's loss for how many years? Such sad :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry: faces.

    The problem I'm having believing this is that if it reflects the attitude of others on your side, why all the defense for her? Many people will say that just because someone skates on criminal charges that doesn't mean they're innocent. Simple question. Do you believe Hillary was guilty or not? A simple yes or no answer would suffice, but feel free to elaborate.

    I know some need to go to jail, but it's not Trump.

    Yea, it irks them that he pardoned criminals, but it goes right over their heads that by doing so he's admitted that they ARE criminals. Nothing in our criminal justice system says you can't let a criminal out of jail early. It's why Parole Boards exist.

    Biden might think he's a Senator.

    I saw the interview Tucker did with Costello, did you? Apparently Bragg did.

    According to FOX News legal mind Gregg Jarrett, Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg HID nearly 600 pages of exculpatory evidence to the New York Grand Jury investigating President Trump.

    Gregg Jarrett: I mentioned it yesterday, I think, when Bob Costello got into that Grand Jury room and told them, “Wait a minute. You don’t have the hundreds of pages I handed over to Alvin Bragg over here? You only have six cherry-picked documents?” You know, hiding from grand juries exculpatory information is reprehensible and unconscionable. And the conduct of Alvin Bragg and his henchman Mark Pomeranz, who specifically says in his book, “We’re targeting zombies because we don’t like his beliefs,” those guys should face disbarment proceedings.

    Robert Costello: I just spent 2 hours or so testifying before the grand jury in downtown Manhattan, and I got my point across. Although it was clear to me that the Manhattan DA’s office did not want to get to the truth, I need to explain that a little bit. I called them up after I saw Michael Cohen on TV stating things that he said he was going to tell the grand jury and had told the grand jury that were contrary to what he told us when we first represented him in April of 2018. So I’m sitting at home watching these lies and I said I’ve got to do something about it. I don’t represent Donald Trump, but I do stand for justice. And I think I have a legal obligation to inform both sides. So that’s what I did.
