Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has caused a storm of controversy by saying in a television interview that the people of Egypt should not look to the United States Constitution when drafting their own governing document because it's too old and there are newer examples from which to draw inspiration.

"I would not look to the U.S. Constitution if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012," Ginsburg said in the interview, which aired on Jan. 30 on Al-Hayat TV.

Her comments have stunned writers across the conservative blogosphere, though many major media outlets have not given much attention to it.

Ginsburg, appointed to the Supreme Court by former President Bill Clinton, said South Africa's constitution is "a great piece of work that was done" and cited other documents outside America's constitution that Egyptians should read.

I absolutely loath this vile old woman that looks like the witch in The Wizard of Oz.   >:( >:( >:(

Why would she recommend a document she doesn't believe in? Libtards hate the Constitution because it specifically states that our rights come from our creator instead of the state, and they want complete control.

In the past few years, more and more liberals are making insulting remarks to other countries about the United States.
Even our president likes to criticize us as "just another country" and not a great one at that, according to him.

It's like they're trying to be the "cool kid" so they can sit at the "cool table". Problem is, the shady characters sitting at the "cool table" are laughing in the libs' face, and they don't see it.

So which of the more recent Constitutions has withstood the test of time?
Example? Since the French revolution the French have been through two Empires, two monarchies and six republics.

Uh, that's the Declaration of Independence. I think what Liberals hate most about the Constitution is the Second Amendment. It has become plain that no politician is beyond the reach of a bullet.

You're technically right of course, but the documents are so close in nature, and meaning, that it is a well understood matter.
