    My opinion? You were the one that said she was devoted to the people, and that Justice Thomas was devoted to some piece of paper. Obviously, I agree Justice Thomas is devoted to teh Constitution...that's his job...not individual people, like you think RBG is, and not to the Constitution

    That "piece of paper" is the Constitution, and that "piece of paper" is the law of the land whether you want to believe it or not. I took an oath to defend that "piece of paper"(as you like to claim you did) and the contempt you demonstrate for that "piece of paper" marks you - AND Ginsburg - as proud members of that "foreign and domestic" crowd.

    Your failure to realize that the constitution...that piece of paper...is there to serve the people. If you can not recognize that clearly you have become an enemy of the state as trump like to say and i will defend against all enemies of the state....both foreign and domestic.

    It's not there to serve the people...it's to set up a Govt and limit it

    The constitution is much more than a piece of paper. You can not see that

    It's for the Govt...to set up the Govt. It sets up the Govt, it's limited powers

    No, no it's not...people certainly work in the Govt...but the Govt is not the people. The people certainly have given up their soveignity to the Govt.

    YOU'RE the one who has failed to realize that the Constitution is there specifically to place restraint upon runaway government power, and that twisting and corrupting the Constitution because people like you are too lazy to follow the law and actually pursue amending it AS THE CONSTITUTION REQUIRES is what makes your position so thoroughly at odds with the Constitution... AND the good of the people!

    A runaway state that acts in defiance of the Constitution and rides roughshod over the rights of the people IS the enemy! If you defend the state over the rights of the people then you are indeed the enemy of the Constitution and of the American people!

    So, we have your own words: you would defend the state first, NOT the rights of the people! Own that!

    There is no twisting of the constitution by RBG. There is a recognition that this is not the 1700's. That your writing on here is protected even though this is not speech for example. Put the people first. The constitution serves the people not the other way around.

    You are for the people or against them.

    I think I know which

    Well that's nowhere in the Constitution...but it's a great quote....what's your point? I agree Govt is for the people, and it was created by the people...and people work in the Govt...we don't have a king, regular people can run for office, regular people can get a job with the Govt...we don't have noblemen

    There were a few attacks against Catholics this week, perhaps it was a practice run?
