I fully agree, this cannot happen!!! Sadly enough, it will take another 9/11 incident to wake people up again, and this time I suspect it will be far, far worst... people are more interested in getting a free ovomit phone or are too concerned about ruffling the feelings of the evil doers... GZ

Putting politics above all else will inevitably Destroy America at this rate. GZ, you're absolutely right, my friend. Your comment above gives the story below the perfect lead in. The last people in the United States who should be partisan or express political views are judges, especially Supreme Court Justices. Despite this Constitutional ideology, just look at what Justice Ginsburg has to say and how she conducts herself in a completely political and partisan manner, which is decidedly unconstitutional. She and those like her don't even try to hide it anymore. She obviously lives and breathes politics, and her comments would have been shocking 20 years ago, but today, they are the norm in our misguided, wayward society that has devolved before our eyes. The SCOTUS is very much an activist court now that makes laws, rather than interprets laws as the Constitution requires!!! Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Why I can’t resign now politico.com Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is pushing back against suggestions that she should soon retire, saying President Barack Obama would be unable to get a justice like her through the Senate. “Who do you think President Obama could appoint at this very day, given the boundaries that we have?” the 81-year-old justice told Elle Magazine in an interview excerpt released Tuesday. The wide-ranging interview portrays Ginsburg — seen as a member of the court’s liberal wing — as attuned to the dynamics in Congress and some of the greater political and social discussions in the U.S. In the interview, she suggested that Senate Republicans would likely block any potential nominee like her. “If I resign any time this year, he could not successfully appoint anyone I would like to see in the court,” the oldest member of the high court said. “Anybody who thinks that if I step down, Obama could appoint someone like me, they’re misguided,” later adding that she can “do the job full steam.” Tuesday’s excerpt focused largely on the court’s conservative shift in recent years and Ginsburg’s disappointment with its rulings on women’s issues. When asked why the court has become “very conservative” on women’s rights, Ginsburg singled out a particular justice. “To be frank, it’s one person who made the difference: Justice [Anthony] Kennedy,” she said, the justice often seen as the court’s swing vote given the court’s relatively entrenched liberal and conservative camps of four justices each. Ginsburg said that since upholding Roe v. Wade, Kennedy has been largely responsible for the upholding of several abortion restrictions. When asked which decisions she thinks will be considered most significant 50 years from now, Ginsburg pointed to June’s ruling in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, in which the court said corporations could use religious exemptions to avoid paying for contraception coverage under the Affordable Care Act. “Well, I think 50 years from now, people will not be able to understand Hobby Lobby,” said the justice, who wrote a blistering dissent in the case. The full interview will be published in the October issue of Elle.
