Ruth Bader Ginsburg Happy With Democratic Congress
Posted on October 11, 2007
“Particularly since the 2006 election, I am pleased to relate, rapport between Congress and the federal courts has markedly improved,” Ginsburg said at a meeting of American and Canadian judges in Vancouver.
No bills limiting judges’ independence have been introduced in the current Congress and “one sees far fewer broadsides against ‘activist judges’ reported in the press,” Ginsburg said.
Democrats, it should be noted, won majorities in both the House and Senate in November 2006. Ginsburg was appointed by President Clinton, a Democrat.
She recounted with distaste comments about judges made in 2005 by two Texas Republicans, then-House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and Sen. John Cornyn.
It should also be noted that Ginsburg was in a leading position of the ACLU. Of course she loves a Democrat Congress that allows activist judges, like her, to rule in their favor.

Jay, do you think she might be referring to our old petition and the legislation it supported?
Think its about time to fire up and promote that petition again.
