Supreme court jurist boldly trashes the constitution.

"The notion that it is improper to look beyond the borders of the United States The United States shares international borders with two nations:

The United States–Mexico border to the south
The Canada–United States border to the north

in grappling with hard questions ... is in line with the view of the U.S. Constitution as a document essentially frozen in time as of the date of its ratification The confirmation or adoption of an act that has already been performed.

A principal can, for example, ratify something that has been done on his or her behalf by another individual who assumed the authority to act in the capacity of an agent. . I am not a partisan of that view."

Speaking in South Africa South Africa, Afrikaans Suid-Afrika, officially Republic of South Africa, republic (2005 est. pop. 44,344,000), 471,442 sq mi (1,221,037 sq km), S Africa. , Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Ruth Joan Bader Ginsburg (born March 15 1933, Brooklyn, New York) is an Associate Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. Having spent 13 years as a federal judge, but not being a career jurist, she is unique as a Supreme Court justice, having spent the majority of her career as an openly expressed disdain for her oath to honor the Constitution, ignored the fact that the document can be amended at any time, and evidently believes that any five justices can rewrite the Constitution at will.
