On Wednesday night, Supreme Court justice and heralded liberal and feminist hero Ruth Bader Ginsburg called her colleague Justice Brett Kavanaugh a “very decent” person as she talked about the “dysfunction” that surrounds the confirmation process for new justices, according to Business Insider.
Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings were extremely dramatic, as he faced allegations of sexual misconduct from numerous women that nearly derailed his appointment to the highest court in the U.S.
Ginsburg was taking part in a question and answer session with Duke Law professor Neil Siegel at an event for prospective law students at Duke University. The Q&A came after she delivered a speech on the 2018 Supreme Court terms and the late Justice John Paul Stevens.
During the Q&A, Siegel said to RBG:
“nominees for the Supreme Court are not chosen primarily anymore for independence, legal ability, [and] personal decency, and I wonder if that’s a loss for all of us.”
Ginsburg replied, defending both Kavanaugh and new colleague Justice Neil Gorsuch.
“My two newest colleagues are very decent, very smart individuals,” Ginsburg said.
She said the confirmation process for both was “far too divisive” and said that despite the fact that she was a “flaming feminist” in 1993, she was still confirmed by a 96-3 vote and the process was far smoother.
Ginsburg, in September, called Kavanaugh’s confirmation a “highly partisan show,” adding that her hope is that “patriots on both sides of the aisle” reject the dysfunction of the current confirmation process.

In 1979 I testified against a drug lord in a closed courtroom who had murdered over a thousand people before a liberal Judge. The liberal Judge let him go. After being released he murdered two cops.
Only a fool looks at our “Justice System” as a system for justice. You only need to sit in a courtroom one time to see this reality. If the system was run as written it would work very well. Unfortunately all of the “bad” human traits come into play (ego, greed, envy, lust, selfishness, etc.). Same for just about anything good humans touch, somebody comes along and screws it up.
Very happy that Justice Ginsberg stated things as they truly are, and I have also thought Justice Kavanaugh to be a honest, intelligent person that was nearly RAILROADED by the LIAR,,FAKE DOCTOR, that actually was NOT, and the way that the DUMBOCRAPS attacked this fine man and his family, friends and associates was CRIMINAL!!! Their attack reminded me of a dogfight,where one dog starts the attack, and as it continues, the whole herd of rogues enters the frey, one at a time, til the one being attacked is overpowered and left dying or dead from the attack.. FEINSTEIN, and her covey of co-conspirators were in a complete FRENZY by the time the “SPECTACLE” came to an ending, and the only thing missing was the fact that there was no “FROTHING AT THE MOUTH”! The attackers seemed to be almost embarrassed by the fact that they were criticized for their unethical manipulating of bringing the FAKE DOCTOR from California. Her “TESTIMONY” was so full of CRAP that almost everyone with an ounce of brains could see thru it,, EXCEPT of course, the lying deceitful manipulating unethical persons that staged this whole fiasco!!! Having only the thinking and “smarts” of the AVERAGE person, I found myself all but weeping for the Kavanaugh Family, friends and associates of this fine man. Thankfully, the DUMBOCRAPS and their criminal behavior were seen for exactly what they are,,,,,a criminal organization that should be incarcerated at GITMO along with the criminal element of the “followers” of the BIG ZERO,,,you know, the ones that sold American Uranium to Russia, (TOOK NINE PEOPLE TO SIGN APPROVAL FOR THAT CRIMINAL ACT), and that was ONLY ONE instance of the CRIMINAL ACTS that occured during that 16 years of NEGATIVITY that was carried out by the NON AMERICAN CROOKS!!! These are my own thoughts, and if I have offended any of those CROOKS,,,TOUGH SH*T!
