    She wants, or the Party wants. Would you push your own Grandmother to keep working when she just wants to rest for the good of the party?

    She might be "tough" as you say; but her clearly stated personal disdain for the Constitution she is sworn to protect makes her unfit to continue serving.

    Opinion noted and dismissed. She has done fantastic job as a justice.

    Unlike Thomas

    She openly holds the Constitution in contempt. She is a fraud, to be quite honest.

    Thomas has more judicial integrity in his little finger than she has in her entire body.

    My opinion is the exact opposite of yours. She fights to uphold the constitution.

    Thomas has lost the true meaning of the constitution

    Actually, there's also a growing possibility that she might retire under MIKE PENCE. Somehow I sense that radical Democrats would be just as freaked-out about THAT possibility....

    Your opinion is not based in fact. She has openly stated her disdain and derision for the Constitution. Her actions are intended to undermine it and the intent of the Framers.

    No; he understands more about the Constitution than RBG ever will.

    You have it completely backwards. RBG knows the constitution serves the people. Her decisions reflect that.

    Thomas is stuck in the 1700's and his decisions reflect that

    That statement has no basis in fact.

    No, her decisions reflect her disdain for the Constitution, and her wish to explain it away whenever she finds it inconvenient. She has publicly stated contempt for the Constitution, and dismissed it as a valid document. This, from someone sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution!

    The Constitution is law, and it is law that was composed at the end of the 1700's. It is not flexible. It is not malleable. The only way it can be legitimately changed and updated for changing times is via the Amendment process. This is exactly what the Constitution states is the method for altering it; but the government instead walks all over the Constitution, ignores it, defies it, then pays lip service to it when convenient, and the American people have shown they don't have the character or the backbone to stand up to the government.

    People, like you, who think the Constitution can be "interpreted" to fit whatever agenda you have, are in the wrong. Such a viewpoint undermines and corrupts the Constitution and the intent of the Founders. Thomas understands that; as you clearly do not.

    No you are incorrect. She has never ever said she has contempt for the constitution.

    Post that exact quote or it is dismissed.

    The constitution serves the people. It is not a holy document. Every justice believes in judicial interpretation......every single one.

    Thomas just believes in it less than RBG....but he believes in it too

    Sadly, RBG will be dead before the year is out. She would live a lot longer if she would just retire and get better.

    Do yourself a favor Ruth and retire. We want you to live and enjoy your final few months.
