JUSTICE PREFERS HER “HOPE AND CHANGE” WITH A “VERY FINE CALIFORNIA WINE”

|| By FITSNEWS || The magic of “hope and change” is gone … for obvious reasons.  But it’s pretty funny when one of the most liberal judges on the U.S. Supreme Court admits to downing some adult beverages prior to having to sit through a speech from Barack Obama.

(A speech declining numbers of people are watching).

Ruth Bader Ginsburg – appointed to the bench in 1993 by Bill Clinton – reportedly told an audience at George Washington University on Thursday night that she downed some “very fine California wine” prior to listening to Obama’s speech last month.

“The audience for the most part is awake, because they’re bobbing up and down all the time,” she said, referring to members of Congress.

“And we sit there, stone-faced, the sober judges. But we’re not, at least I wasn’t, 100 percent sober,” she said, referring to some wine she received from a fellow Justice at a pre-speech meal. “I vowed this year, just sparkling water, stay away from the wine, but in the end, the dinner was so delicious, it needed wine to accompany it.”

Ha!

Ginsburg appeared to nod off on several occasions during Obama’s latest speech … as she’s done during his previous States of the Union.

Starting only a few minutes into the speech, Ginsburg began doing that telltale head nod-and-jerk motion. Even raucous applause and standing ovations at various points in the speech didn’t rouse her,” Al Kamen and Emily Heil of The Washington Post reported following Obama’s 2013 address.  “Justice Stephen Breyer, seated to Ginsburg’s left, valiantly gave her subtle nudges when she looked in danger of pitching over. And at one point, it looked like Breyer and Justice Anthony Kennedy, seated on her right, had wedged her in between them to keep her upright.”

Hilarious …

Worth noting?  Ginsburg is a mentor to S.C. chief justice Jean Toal – whose love affair with the bottle (and attendant vehicular misadventure) is the stuff of Palmetto political legend.

It has been alleged many times, that SC Circuit Court Judge Thomas Hughston has been under the effects while hearing cases.

“has been under the effects while” ….. commenting on Fitsnews, like many of us. Although for some of us it’s only occasionally…. perhaps?

“because they’re bobbing up and down all the time,”

Uh huh…

Btw, speaking of “bobbing”, she’s got perfect ears for holding onto.

After hearing a couple’s complaints that their intimate life wasn’t what it used to be, the sex counselor suggested they vary their positions. “For example,” he suggested, “you might try the wheelbarrow. Lift her by the legs, penetrate and off you go.”

The eager husband was all for trying this new idea as soon as they got home. “Well, OK,” the hesitant wife agreed, “but on two conditions. First, if it hurts, you have to stop right away. And second, “she insisted, “you have to promise we won’t go past my mother’s house.”

Jean does not need liquor to me a mean liar. That is just her personality and it is only enhanced by the alcohol. There are legislators whispering in the halls now as they prepare for the next onslaught of Toal calls with the next judicial election.

If this old bat will last till we get a real POTUS I will be happy. If not I guess Grahamnasty will be back with “elections have consequences.” As he lets another liberal on the court. Bush only batted 500, so all we can do is hope.

Careful how you write about Notorious RBG. She is one of the few Supremes that truly respects the law — unlike four of her associates who just can’t wait to rule that the Moops invaded Spain.

1. Moors not moops.
2. She might respect the law, just not our law. When asked if some country should use our Constitution as a pattern, she said the South African constitution was better. BTW The SA const. doesn’t have a second amendment.

Problem is “moops” doesn’t make sense, but the ACA does as written.

grandtangosuglydog – What about the bubble boy reference did you think I didn’t understand.
————-
Tom sticker is referring to the ACA tax break to those on the Federal exchange here- “unlike four of her associates who just can’t wait to rule that the Moops invaded Spain.”

While the Moops was a Trivial Pursuit misprint, opponents of the ACA are arguing that there was no misprint and that Gruber admitted that long before the lawsuit.

If you can’t keep up, ask someone to explain it to you.

obviously you need visual aids to help you comprehend, perhaps your bible has pictures? its rogue who didnt get the Seinfeld ref…

Didn’t Lindsey Graham say Darth-Vader Ginsburg wanted to lower the legal age of consent to 12.

Speculation is that the homosexual community wants more access to children, because that is a target segment to expand their numbers from 2.5%. And they know molested children comprise a vast majority of eventual adult homosexuals.

You truly are delusional..once again another made up fact to support your made up comment..do you ever tell the truth? Can you support this comment or is just gonna be the same, change the subject and call names when it is pointed out what a total liar and coward you truly are at your core..just a sick deranged damaged partisan nutjob who is nothing but a sad joke to everyone who knows you. I imagine even the town drunk feels bad about how he is viewed by society, you …not so much.
