Ruth Bader Ginsburg s Judicial Philosophy Was Wrong: Congress, Not Judges, Should Make Law | National Review
Ruth Bader Ginsburg did a great many interesting and impressive things in her life, but she never did the one thing she probably really should have done: run for office. Ruth Bader Ginsburg wasn t an associate justice of the Supreme Court not really: She was a legislator in judicial drag.
You need not take my word on this: Ask her admirers. Ruth Bader Ginsburg had a vision for America, Linda Hirshman argues in the Washington Post. What was her vision? To make America fairer, to make justice bigger. That is not a job for a judge that is a job for a legislator. The job of making law properly belongs to some people find this part hard to handle lawmakers. Making law is not the job of the judge. The job of the judge is to see that the law is followed and applied in a given case. It does not matter if the law is unfair or if the law is unjust that is not the judge s concern. If you have a vision for America, and desire to make the law more fair or more just, then there is a place for you: Congress. That is where the laws are made.
