Ruth Bader Ginsburg Goes From Leftist Hero To Has-Been In One Interview

[Federalist] Ruth Bader Ginsburg is about to lose her feminist card. Ironically, it’s for departing from her usual legal schtick to reinforce that what the law says matters, instead of giving authorities license to do whatever the heck they want.

On Monday, Ginsburg reinforced previous assertions that the legal deadline for passing a 1970s and 1980s constitutional amendment to ignore sex distinctions has passed.

"I would like to see a new beginning. I’d like it to start over," Ginsburg said about the so-called Equal Rights Amendment Monday." There’s too much controvery about latecomers ‐ Virginia long after the deadline passed ‐ plus a number of states have withdrawn their ratification. So if you count a latecomer on the plus side, how can you disregard states that said, ’We’ve changed our minds’?"

When Congress went through its part of the amendment authorizing process for the ERA, its authorization included a deadline for ratification by the states. Supreme Court precedent says such deadlines for ratification are legally valid. Still, today’s left chooses to ignore the parts of the law they don’t like while using the parts of it they currently find to their liking, or making things up if they don’t like the law at all.

So on Tuesday, Vox senior correspondent Ian Millhiser, who claims to focus on the Constitution, proclaimed that because of her remarks, "Justice Ginsburg’s feminist legacy teeters on a knife’s edge."

Nice little feminist legacy you got there, Justice Ginsburg. You wouldn’t want to endanger it by disagreeing with where the left is now, would you? After we’ve spent so many years buttering you up so you’d do just what we insisted. I mean, we’ve put out documentary after biopic after book after museum exhibit hailing you as the feminist hero! And now you’d let a little thing like the obvious meaning of multiple laws and court decisions stand in the way of doing what we want?

"Ginsburg’s comments are likely to be the death knell for the ERA," Millhiser writes further. "...Ginsburg also made her somewhat surprising remarks in a moment when the bulk of her feminist accomplishments are endangered by an increasingly conservative Supreme Court."

#1 Remember the three rules of The Shitshow, and apply them to Vox's purported expert on the Constitution:

1. absurdity and bizarre violation of rules of logic - as in, SCOTUS judges are supposed to simply ignore the central provision of a statute because, uh, "feminist legacy";

2. gross incompetence to the point of clownishness - as in near-total ignorance of judicial review and other basic Constitutional law concepts;

3. ridiculous, over-the-top virtue signaling - as in a dude getting his panties in a wad over someone's "feminist legacy"
