| Ginsburg Would Like to Change the Electoral College System |
| 2017-02-08 |
| [Breitbart] Monday at Stanford Law School, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she "would like to change," the Electoral College system. Ginsburg said, "There are some things I would like to change, one is the Electoral College." She added, "But that would require a constitutional amendment, and amending our Constitution is powerfully hard to do." Ginsburg also bemoaned partisanship in Washington D.C. saying. "I wish there were a way I could wave a magic wand and put it back when people were respectful of each other and the Congress was working for the good of the country and not just along party lines." |

| #13 Her nostalgia is for the FDR Coalition (Unions, Elitist Liberals and Southern Racists) stranglehold on the US Government, back before the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Act splintered their coalition? Heartwarming... |

| #12 The four libs vote in lockstep. This is called "good jurisprudence". When the conservative judges vote in lockstep, this is "partisan gridlock". Shut up you partisan haggard old biddy |

| #11 What brought this on? Dems are mad that she did not have the common decency to die when they wanted her to, so she's trying to show them through her dementia that she is still one of them. |

| #10 I dislike her judicial opinions, but I rather like the old gal. You talk about Die Hard, Pancreatic and Colon Cancer! Her close friendship with Scalia weighs in on my opinion of her as well. |

| #7 Anybody want to bet on her being around for another year? If 'only the good die young', she'll live forever. |

| #4 Three quarters of the small states are not going to surrender to one quarter of the major metro states. It'll require a SCOTUS coup to happen. That's the day you can scratch the name 'United States' from the books. |

| #3 Never forget Obama's admission as he left office, and I'm paraphrasing - "My greatest failure was I could never convince the Republicans to see my point of view..." For eight years, he and the media were berating the Pubs for not compromising, when he meant, 'not surrendering to my superior point of view.' |

| #2 "I wish there were a way I could wave a magic wand and put it back when people were respectful of each other and the Congress was working for the good of the country and not just along party lines." Translation: Why can't we just get rid of the center/right so those of us on the left can do what we want? |
