    Re: SCOTUS 15: Help Us, Ruth Bader Ginsburg! You're Our Only Hope!

    Probably have to go back to the 19th century to find a SCOTUS justice who had anything less than complimentary to say about a sitting colleague.

    Remember they all managed to find nice words for Scalia when he was murdered finally choked on his own lung tar.

      Anything I've ever seen about the justices suggests that they all get along a lot better than most of us would expect, and some would hope. I suppose some people still find it odd that adults can disagree on a subject, even one of great importance, and not take that disagreement personally.
      That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

          I remember reading that RBG and Scalia used to get lunch together almost daily.

          "One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir

            They were both intellectuals -- who were they gonna hang out with, Rehnquist the used car salesman?

            They were good friends who spent Christmases together. They both liked the opera. And I'm sure they enjoyed the company of a fellow top tier, curious intellect.

            Scalia's problem was never that he was stupid.

              He sounds like quite the Little Eichmann.

              When Benjamin Cardozo's appointment was being pressed on President Herbert C. Hoover, McReynolds joined with fellow justices Pierce Butler and Willis Van Devanter in urging the White House not to "afflict the Court with another Jew".[39] When news of Cardozo's appointment was announced, McReynolds is claimed to have said "Huh, it seems that the only way you can get on the Supreme Court these days is to be either the son of a criminal or a Jew, or both."

              According to John Frush Knox (1907–1997), McReynolds's law clerk for one term (1936–1937, following the seven-year clerkship of Maurice Mahoney), and one author of a memoir of his service, McReynolds never spoke to Cardozo at all.[34] McReynolds did not attend the memorial ceremonies held at the Supreme Court in honor of Cardozo.[41][43][44] He did not attend Felix Frankfurter's swearing-in, exclaiming "My God, another Jew on the Court!"[45]

                  And Cardozo was among the best. Certainly one of the most gifted writers the Court has had.

She added that Americans should go “beyond just mere tolerance of different views” to “welcoming different views because they enrich our society.”

                          I agree to a point. Heck, I even started dating someone who was the other party abuout six years ago. Now? No. I can have friends who are pro life, and we can disagree on whether the Middle East wars were the right choice. But I really don’t spend much time with them now

                          What did it for me was that the entire GOP platform is now disgusting. Anti woman, anti non-whites, anti health care, anti 99 percent, raping the planet and shunning science.
                          I don’t want those people as friends. Can I interact with them? I do.

                            My Dumpy co-workers and I get along fine, we just never talk about politics. But those are co-workers. For a spouse or friends I have to respect them. I do not respect anybody who is still a Republican.

                              Yep. My girlfriend is a reformed conservative now liberal. We took a very similar path to where we are now.

                              I couldn’t date a conservative. No way. Not anymore.

                              I’m friends with a few trumpers. I have convinced myself they are just trolls and don’t believe it. Or at least I’ve tried.

                                Eh, I could. People don't usually fit into neat little boxes (though I could definitely rule out white nationalists and most evangelicals). Plus, at 38, my potential pool is small enough, no need to artificially decrease it...especially since I'll be living in Texas.
