  Join Howard Phillips' Testimony on Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Ginsburg that it is the duty of Supreme Court justices to disregard the plain words and intentions of the Constitution, it is particularly important that her personal opinions be closely scrutinized.
Ginsburg's performance as a judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia stands in clear contrast with her role as advocate when she was in private practice and when she functioned as general counsel of the American Civil Liberties Union.
Ginsburg has expressed, or even developed, a clearly defined view on other issues of Constitutional import, I would suggest that they are worth raising—not just in terms of her philosophical conformity to prevailing opinion, but in seeking to discern her willingness to accord overriding consideration to the original intentions of the Framers.

 Althouse: Why the antagonism toward Ruth Bader Ginsburg?
Ruth Bader Ginsberg is despised because many people have a visceral disagreement with her philosophy.
Deference, yes, but not a blank cheque, and I think that it's hard to read Ginsburg's confirmation hearing transcripts and come to any conclusion but that her views on the role of the judiciary are antithetical to conservative legal theories, and so anyone who buys the latter should not have voted for the former.
Ginsburg is at the bottom because she does not radiate warmth in public and she is a pure, partisan Leftist deeply tied to the ACLU.

 Ruth Bader Ginsburg fails to recuse herself - Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg and conflicts of interest Insight on the ...
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's secretary, Linda O'Donnell, told Insight that the justice had no time to comment because she was in conference and getting ready to teach abroad while the court is out of session.

 Lindsey Graham's smear. - By Timothy Noah - Slate Magazine
Ginsburg and her coauthor argue that the law should be rewritten to outlaw sexual abuse of any minor, male or female, by any person who is significantly older, male or female (thereby obviating the absurd possibility that a 13-year-old boy would be prosecuted for seducing a 15-year-old girl).
Ginsburg makes this explicit in a footnote in which she complains that even this language "retains use of the masculine pronoun to cover individuals of both sexes," which at the very least is confusing if it's intended to outlaw statutory (and other) rape by women, too.
Were Ginsburg writing that paper today, she would no doubt raise at least a parenthetical eyebrow at making 12 the age of consent, if only to fend off accusations that she was herself pulling little boys into alleys.
