The Nomination of John Roberts to the Supreme Court

 

Senators Overlooked Radical Record of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

by Phyllis Schlafly

Posted Aug 23, 2005

 

Hypocrisy stands at the pinnacle of the sins that liberals most disdain. So it's fair game to compare the free ride they gave to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg with their searching the archives to pillory every word ever written by Supreme Court nominee John Roberts.

 

Liberal commentators and U.S. senators, who are salivating at the upcoming interrogation of Roberts, never asked Ginsburg about her extremist views spelled out in her lengthy paper trail. The senators didn't have to do much research; I made it easy for them by publishing her words in my July 1993 Phyllis Schlafly Report.

 

I quoted extensively from her 230-page book called Sex Bias in the U.S. Code, published in 1977 by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. The purpose of this book was to show how the proposed Equal Rights Amendment (for which she was an aggressive advocate) would change federal laws to make them sex-neutral and "eliminate sex-discriminatory provisions."

 

Ginsburg called for the sex-integration of prisons and reformatories so that conditions of imprisonment, security and housing could be equal. She explained, "If the grand design of such institutions is to prepare inmates for return to the community as persons equipped to benefit from and contribute to civil society, then perpetuation of single-sex institutions should be rejected." (Page 101)

 

She called for the sex-integration of Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts because they "perpetuate stereotyped sex roles." (Page 145)

 

She insisted on sex-integrating "college fraternity and sorority chapters" and replacing them with "college social societies." (Page 169)

 

She even cast constitutional doubt on the legality of "Mother's Day and Father's Day as separate holidays." (Page 146)

 

Ginsburg called for reducing the age of consent for sexual acts to people who are "less than 12 years old." (Page 102)

 

She asserted that laws against "bigamists, persons cohabiting with more than one woman, and women cohabiting with a bigamist" are unconstitutional. (Page 195)

 

She objected to laws against prostitution because "prostitution, as a consensual act between adults, is arguably within the zone of privacy protected by recent constitutional decisions." (Page 97)

 

On the other hand, her view of the traditional family was radical feminist. She said that the concept of husband-breadwinner and wife-homemaker "must be eliminated from the code if it is to reflect the equality principle," (Page 206) and she called for "a comprehensive program of government supported child care." (Page 214)

 

Ginsburg wrote that the Mann Act (which punishes those who engage in interstate sex traffic of women and girls) is "offensive." Such acts should be considered "within the zone of privacy." (Page 98)

 

She demanded that we "firmly reject draft or combat exemption for women," stating "women must be subject to the draft if men are." But, she added, "the need for affirmative action and for transition measures is particularly strong in the uniformed services." (Page 218)

 

An indefatigable censor, Ginsburg listed hundreds of "sexist" words that must be eliminated from all statutes. Among words she found offensive were: man, woman, manmade, mankind, husband, wife, mother, father, sister, brother, son, daughter, serviceman, longshoreman, postmaster, watchman, seamanship, and "to man" (a vessel). (Pages 15-16)

 

She even wanted he, she, him, her, his, and hers to be dropped down the memory hole. They must be replaced by he/she, her/him, and hers/his, and federal statutes must use the bad grammar of "plural constructions to avoid third person singular pronouns." (Page 52-53)

 

Not only did Ginsburg pass former President Bill Clinton's litmus test of being pro-abortion, but she was also on record as opposing what was then settled law that the Constitution does not compel taxpayers to pay for abortions. In her chapter in a 1980 book, Constitutional Government in America, she condemned the Supreme Court's ruling in Harris v. McRae and claimed that taxpayer-funded abortions should be a constitutional right.

 

In a speech published by Phi Beta Kappa's Key Reporter in 1974, Ginsburg called for affirmative action hiring quotas for career women. Using the police as an example, she wrote, "Affirmative action is called for in this situation."

 

It's too bad that Americans were denied the entertainment value of a C-SPAN broadcast of a Senate Judiciary Committee interrogation of Ginsburg about her out-of-the-mainstream views. But Republicans rolled over and Ginsburg was confirmed 97 to 3.

 

Liberals are trying to make a federal case out of Roberts' membership or non-membership in the Federalist Society. But Ginsburg had been the general counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union, which, unlike the Federalist Society, litigates to bring about leftist and even radical goals.

 

Tim Russert posed the pertinent question on Meet the Press, after showing a clip of Clinton saying he would appoint only Supreme Court justices "who believe in the constitutional right to privacy, including the right to choose." Russert asked: "Doesn't George Bush, as a Republican, have the same opportunities as Bill Clinton, the Democrat, to put people on the Court who share his philosophy?"

Theist why do you believe that proselytizing for american political institutions (republican party) is important for you to do? Just wondering.

[theist]

Did I mention the Republican party?

That is also nonsense. I registered to vote decades back as an Independent but never voted for Democrats because I am pro-life on the abortion issue and the Democratic party platform is 100% pro abortion rights.

 

That one issue is enough to pevent me from voting for someone. Some Republicans are pro-choice and I oppose them also.

 

In general there are many issues that conservatives favor that Prabhupada also taught.

 

They are both nonsense in the final analysis.

 

A good look at the nature of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg as presented above will illustrate what I mean. Nominated by Clinton a Democrat.

vote for Lord Caitanya the only real spiritual acclaimed politician ----KRSNA IS FOR EVERYONE.

"Talking points" is a phrase used to describe a group's circulated propaganda message that is passed out to the groups members for bringing up in conversation with media outlets. "Talking points" originate in "think tanks". This is from wikipedia descrbing what a think tank is:

 

 

A think tank is a research institute or other organization providing advice and ideas on problems of policy, commerce, and military interest, and are often associated with military laboratories, corporations, academia, or other institutions. Usually this term refers specifically to organizations which support multi-disciplinary theorists and intellectuals who endeavor to produce analysis or policy recommendations.

 

 

Political think tanks employ psychologists and advertising experts as well. One of their main purposes is to create public relations spin for their employers to put out to the public, and also to come up with "talking points".

 

"Talking points" are then distributed to the group's official and semi official media pundits and politicians. For instance if this week the agenda of a political party is to try and divert blame for a poor response to a natural disaster away from members of their own political party, they tell the think tank to come up with a plan. The think tank then uses their psychologists and advertising experts to come up with a variety of "talking points" whose sole purpose is to shift blame away from the members of the political party who they work for. Then those talking points are distributed to politicians in order for them to bring them up in media interviews, and also the talking points are distributed to members of the media who work for the political party. In the case of the Republican party talking points are given to a bunch of radio and t.v talk show hosts like Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage etc. And also the talking points are sent to a slew of print media outlets like newspaper and magazine editors and columnists, and nowadays to internet news sites and blogs like Free Republic.

 

What happens after that is an onslaught of identical talking points hitting all of the media at the same time. A coordinated media onlsaught of propaganda. This happens regularly. Anyone who watches the news shows or blogs or other popular media will notice that every few weeks or months or as needed the Republican supporters en masse are all repeating the same message about something or another. It's all propaganda originating from think tanks that get repeated in an attempt to sway people into supporting the Republican leader's agendas.

Those are some pretty kooky views but perhaps we should just call her "mainstream cultural christianity insensitive" or something like that.
