Ginsburg Warns Against Civil Rights Apathy

[Dark Star]

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Thursday that people concerned about losing freedom to government anti-terrorism efforts should speak out.

Ginsburg, speaking to a group of women's rights lawyers, was asked if people's rights were in danger.

"On important issues, like the balance between liberty and security, if the public doesn't care, then the security side is going to overweigh the other," she said.

That would change, Ginsburg said, "if people come forward and say we are proud to live in the USA, a land that has been more free, and we want to keep it that way."

1. if she sees the tide of reversal

from where she sits and is concerned enough to say so, that speaks volumes about who gets to appoint the next supreme court judge.

3. I read Ginsbers comments somewhere...

and I LOVE it. She's right, but how are we going to get this across to the masses of citizens in this country. WE are informed but what about the fella across town?
I'm doing my part to "push back".

6. She's right.

And the Min. of Propaganda will do all they can to keep the Murkan Sheeple from caring,

Like having Janet Jackson flash her right tit during the stupor bowl.

Damn, and I was only kidding when I told somebody "Naw, it won't work, because just about the time the people start to wake up, somebody will yell 'Hey! Nekkid titties on Tee-Vee!' and that'll be the end of that..."
