And may the eagerly awaited Egyptian Spring RIP.

We should be VERY glad that a modicum of the status quo was maintained!!! Egypt could have been much worse had the Muslim Brotherhood held onto the reigns. Here's a tribute to why our Supremes should stay the hell away from international politics. A BLOOMIN IDIOT is what this conversation revealed Ms. Ginsberg to be!!!!

"You should certainly be aided by all the constitution-writing that has gone one since the end of World War II. I would not look to the US constitution, if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012. I might look at the constitution of South Africa. That was a deliberate attempt to have a fundamental instrument of government that embraced basic human rights, had an independent judiciary... It really is, I think, a great piece of work that was done. Much more recent than the US constitution - Canada has a Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It dates from 1982. You would almost certainly look at the European Convention on Human Rights. Yes, why not take advantage of what there is elsewhere in the world?," Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said in an interview with Al Hayat TV in Egypt.
