Justice Ginsberg speaks truth to power

And gets kicked for it by the so-called liberal media.

Let's state the obvious.

Trump is a racist, supported by the country's big racist pressure groups (who ought to recognize one of their own) who has attacked the integrity of the courts and said he would, as president, violate the laws.

If ever there was a time a judge is entitled to speak out, this ought to be it. And to criticize a Jewish lawyer for raising the alarm about a candidate who is a racist who disregards legal boundaries is tin-eared. The world has experience of this.

Why aren't the other justices -- and lower court judges --speaking out? Don't they care?

It is also not true that judges shouldn't and don't speak out on political issues. A few years ago I listened to Judge Leonie Brinkema on Maui at a judicial conference: Her theme was that the ordinary courts can and should be the venues for trials of suspected terrorists, instead of military tribunals.

  1. And here I find myself wondering, once again, if it's even possible for Harry to disagree with someone without calling them racist.

  4. You should wonder, instead, wherever does he get the idea that there are racists out there.

  5. Harry, how about providing a quote from Trump, then, using the accepted definition of the word "racist" explain exactly how what Trump says satisfies the definition.

    Then, just for fun, try the same thing with "sexist" and Hillary!.

  6. The blog is called RestatingtheOBVIOUS, you know

    Cleary a misnomer.

    Based on the ample evidence, it needs to be called "Ranting the Odious".

  10. So what? Are you always so credulous that you unquestioningly believe anything that supports your narrative? I know. Silly question.

    So, once again, Using the accepted definition of the word "racist" explain exactly how what Trump said wrt Judge Curiel satisfies the definition.

    I bet you can't.
