 WorldNetDaily: Intimidated judges judge well
In the "Federalist Papers" explaining the new Constitution, for example, Alexander Hamilton wrote that "judiciary encroachments on the legislative authority" would be merely a "phantom," because the threat of impeachment would be "an important constitutional check" on the judiciary.
Justice Ginsburg noted approvingly the comment by New York Times columnist Bob Herbert that an "intimidated judge is a worthless judge." America's founders, of course, would have said exactly the opposite.
Justice Ginsburg is threatened by the view that judges must take the law as they find it, no matter what the result, for a more practical reason.

But Alexander's streak of consecutive games at shortstop ended at six, laughingly short of Ripken's major-league record of 2,216 games at the position, and Alexander's job title is once again utility infielder.
If Alexander remains a part-time player for the rest of his career, he will still be thankful to the Orioles for just getting the chance to play in the major leagues.
Alexander was soon bumped out of the lineup, and he couldn't argue -- at least not until he does something about his.118 batting average.

Similarly, Ginsburg points out with pride that her separate opinions in the Michigan racial-preference cases cite two United Nations Conventions — one that the United States has ratified, and one that "sadly" it "has not yet ratified" — as evidence that the international understanding of racial preferences supports her application of the Equal Protection Clause.
Ginsburg was one of five justices who attended a conference on the European constitution.

Alexander, a Republican former governor, resigned from the board of the Nashville-based Education Networks of America on Nov. 8, three days after the election, and turned back an option to acquire less than 1 percent of the privately traded company.

Alexander also said he is not likely to exercise stock options when he resigns as chairman of the board of Co-Nect, a company that contracts with public schools to train teachers.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg may have violated federal law, as well as professional codes of judicial ethics, by participating in more than 20 cases in which one of the litigants was a publicly traded corporation in which her husband owned stock.
Reviewing Ginsburg's financial-disclosure reports and cases in West's Supreme Court Reporter, Insight found that since 1995, Ginsburg apparently did not disqualify, or recuse, herself from cases that directly affected eight companies in her husband's rollover individual-retirement account, or IRA.
Ginsburg said her concerns were about the legislative branch setting up a so-called guardian for the judicial branch.

They say they voted in favor of Justice Ginsburg, despite her record, because they respected President Clinton’s prerogative to choose whomever he wanted.--By contrast, Judge Alito’s nomination was not the product of bipartisan consultation.
Even Alexander Hamilton, an advocate of a strong executive, believed the Appointments Clause authorized the Senate to be much more than a rubber stamp.
