The Marshall court was just fine as far as the Bill of Rights was concerned- some might even say they made a great improvement in the state of rights observed in the country, by making sure the states and the federal government lived up to the constitution you claim to cherish.

Lots of people said we'd say good by to the Bill of Rights with Bush as prez- and while he hasn't been great, that's the same sort of hyperbole you're using. I imagine it plays well to a choir, but it's not going to convince anyone else.

If you think a Supreme Court full of Ginsburg clones is a good thing, say good bye to the Bill of Rights.

We've already lost two of the ten amendments in the Bill of Rights: the right to not be detained without due process and the right to a speedy trial. Three if you consider torture cruel and unfair punishment.

Those were lost under a GOP POTUS and Congress.

Are you saying the Dems would do worse?
