| Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Colin Kaepernick's protest is 'dumb and disrespectful' |
| 2016-10-11 |
| [Guardian] NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s continuing protest of the national anthem is "dumb and disrespectful", the supreme court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said in an interview released on Monday. In a wide-spanning interview with Yahoo News’s Katie Couric on Ginsburg’s new book My Own Words, Ginsburg said she thought that while Kaepernick’s protest was legal, it was "a terrible thing to do". "What do I think? I think it’s really dumb of them," Ginsburg said. "Would I arrest them for doing it? No. I think it’s dumb and disrespectful. I would have the same answer if you asked me about flag burning. I think it’s a terrible thing to do, but I wouldn’t lock a person up for doing it. I would point out how ridiculous it seems to me to do such an act." Ginsburg went to some lengths to say that the protest was legal but that she disagreed with their stance. Cont’d. |

| #4 Well, nice to see Ruth Vader is done with the whole optics of a proper judge thing. I found it entertaining when she pooped out of her mouth last. White House was all like, "Don't mess with the RGB. Huh-huh, don't mess with the RGB." And I be all like, "Word dawg, I don't Tripp Lite, roll HDMI, for realz." |

| #2 She sort of missed the end of the Age of Reason and the beginning of the Age of Feelings, which she actually helped come into place. Dear Ruth, there is no wiggle room in the 14th Amendment to allow suspension of 'equal before the law' on basis of color to make up for 'feelings'. |
