Sad when a Supreme Court Justice understands the constitution so poorly.
The live arguing of cases before the Supreme Court makes for shocking and downright scary theater.
My wife has sat in on two cases before the court and I listened to a recorded session on a gun control case several years ago. In the case I listened to, Ginsburg was simply WRONG about existing US law. She should have been embarrassed by her ignorance. I think it was Souter who played the village idiot. He showed high intelligence and used it to endlessly nitpick at minutia and irrelevant details. Most of us know somebody like that but it was weird to listen to a Supreme do it. Kennedy surprised me the other way: deeply knowledgeable about the issue and the mechanics of firearm function, with articulate fact-based conclusions.
SCOTUS: A scary lotta power in the hands of very few.
