In America, we have a tradition that justice is
supposed to be impartial. . . .
Sorry if I made you snort coffee on your keyboard
there, but yes, it’s true even if ignored. Therefore, to avoid the appearance of partiality among other
reasons, judges are not to comment on cases before them. That just Is. Not. Done. . . . unless you
are a activist liberal justice apparently.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg made very warm noises
towards both same-sex marriage and Obamacare in an interview with
Bloomberg. That when Supreme Court
rulings on both matters are pending.
It is indeed an “amazing impropriety,” an “astounding” disregard of
basic judicial ethics.
Now that she has so clearly made up her mind
beforehand and made it all the more obvious that she has done so and helped poison the atmosphere for the other side to boot, she should do
the right thing and recuse herself from both rulings.
She will not, of course. And few, if any, from the left of center are calling for her
to do so. Instead, many Leftists are applauding her comments. Things like judicial
ethics and judicial restraint are trivialities to Leftists like Ginsburg. The Cause is so much more important,
don’tcha know.
