They may have just stepped in it this time. But the study and the Politico article are right that its influence has declined steeply outside the country, and the MSM have assisted in the decline in America by ignoring or spinning comments like the recent ones made by Ginbsburg and Obama. They forget that a growing number of Americans no longer trust them or believe them, and have found other ways to watch their politicians and functionaries perform their nefarious duties.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-59451605124224441752012-02-09T22:35:24.709-05:002012-02-09T22:35:24.709-05:00Stan: I've known for many years, in both the ...Stan: I've known for many years, in both the political and legal arenas that liberals have contempt for the Constitution. But it does surprise me that at this juncture, with a conservative groundswell taking place, they would choose to out themselves so vocally, so universally, and without any restraint on where they say it. Progressivism has advanced to the point it has reached today by poisoning the body politic in small doses of which the average person is either unaware or sees as something good because of the way the propaganda was presented. This latest round of attacks on the Constitution seems like a very strange way to gain their agenda when it is already being exposed on multiple fronts.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-70063139564526860792012-02-09T22:30:03.157-05:002012-02-09T22:30:03.157-05:00T-Rav: You nailed it.

Liberals are unable to accept a free society with a basic set of rules (the Constitution) that allow for each individual's full development while restraining excess at both the individual and governmental levels. A simple, succinct, foundational document flummoxes them. We must have laws--lots of laws--most of them in conflict with each other, and none containing the simple concept of equal justice under law. And if you need lots of laws, you need lots of lawyers. A double-whammy.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-12693445441025032692012-02-09T22:27:34.255-05:002012-02-09T22:27:34.255-05:00"the influece of the American Constitution is..."the influece of the American Constitution is in decline"<br /><br />Ruth Bader Ginsburg as she ignores 1,000,000 Tea Partiers on the Washington MallIndividualisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005025873042230314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-11988866038917017942012-02-09T20:39:21.587-05:002012-02-09T20:39:21.587-05:00This is alarming, but not unexpected.

With this there is finally an opportunity to have it out with the left, and settle the direction of the country. Ginsburg is just the latest one to fully expose her and the left for what they are, anti-American hacks who have deceived the country for decades - -I say lets have this debate, finally.

NY, of course, goes without saying. <br /><br />The reason Ginsburg and her fellow twits love the constitutions abroad (in my opinion) is that they are so much more detailed than ours is. There's a provision for every walk of life, which makes it that much easier for their technocrats to manage society. It's all about elite control, in the end.<br /><br />Rubio had a good line about all this at CPAC this morning, but I can't remember now what it was.T-Ravhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861218035729479354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-51087740393342577842012-02-09T18:49:08.777-05:002012-02-09T18:49:08.777-05:00Bev: That's so true, including the tongue-in-...Bev: That's so true, including the tongue-in-cheek part.

She could "recuse" herself so to speak.Tennessee Jedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604275115906776992noreply@blogger.com
