Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Ruth Bader Ginsberg Snaps, "Trump is Not a Lawyer"![]() Madame Justice Ginsburg is 85 years young. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has responded to Donald Trump's call for the top US court to stop impeachment. "The president is not a lawyer," she told the BBC in an exclusive interview, adding: "He's not law trained." In a wide-ranging conversation, she also said poor women were victims of restrictive abortion access.And as you know, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a major proponent of abortions for the poor. It's a joke: Last week someone said RGB and Jen Rubin, separated at birth, and I said from now on, whenever I post a story about RbG, I will post a picture of the almost-equally decrepit Jen Rubin. In fact, this really is a non-story which I only posted so I could "confuse" Jen Rubin for RBG. There's really nothing here, except me saying, "Man, Jen Rubin is really aging just terribly."

"The president is not a lawyer," she told the BBC in an exclusive interview, adding: "He's not law trained."
And impeachment in general - and this impeachment farce in particular - is not a legal matter. It's purely political. So RBG can stuff a sock in it and go back to making blood sacrifices to Moloch. Posted by: MWR, The Public Intellectual (aka Beth) at December 17, 2019 03:04 PM (rP4OC) 26

Of course the poor should have abortions! Then, we would have fewer poor.
It stands to reason that poor adults should also be executed. What purpose do they serve? Plus, doing so would make the upper west side of Manhattan a much nicer place. Posted by: Ruth Bader Ginsberg at December 17, 2019 03:06 PM (LISuA) 49
First off I'll give her credit for actually appearing physically on camera after months and months of dodging them.
Second, she's right, he is not a lawyer. But that's utterly irrelevant to the situation. It doesn't matter if he is or not, that's an appeal to authority argument, which is a logical fallacy. If that's the best she can offer, she's a weak thinker. And finally, based on her statements in the past, Justice Ginsberg is a huge fan of abortions for black women because she's an old school eugenicist who wants to eliminate unwanted lower classes of humanity.

Um, yes, Ruthie, but it's a feature not a bug. Trump has an advantage because realizes the law is a tool--I mean as in an implement, not the other way. He's very savvy at using the law for what it's good at, but that's not the only club he's got in his bag.
Lots of lawyers, however, think the law is everything. If it doesn't work, they're stuck and they're awful at communicating with non-lawyers. (Full disclosure--I'm a lawyer. I know my limits.) Posted by: Art Rondelet of Malmsey at December 17, 2019 03:12 PM (S+f+m) 100

I'm not on the left, and because of health issues and because I don't wear makeup, I can sometimes look rather haggard. You can go on the internet and see pictures where Jen is wearing makeup and smiling and she does look better. Of course, it always makes one look better if one is smiling. She is so vehemently anti Trump that I don't think she has much to smile about lately. Posted by: FenelonSpoke at December 17, 2019 03:13 PM (WI7YS) 108
Actual quotes from Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood:
"Those least fit to carry on the race are increasing most rapidly. People who cannot support their own offspring are encouraged by Church and State to produce large families. Many of the children thus begotten are diseased or feeble-minded; many become criminals. The burden of supporting these unwanted types has to be borne by the healthy elements of the nation. Funds that should be used to raise the standard of our civilization are diverted to the maintenance of those who should never have been born." "[Banning abortion] encourages the healthier and more normal sections of the world to shoulder the burden of unthinking and indiscriminate fecundity of others; which brings with it, as I think the reader must agree, a dead weight of human waste. Instead of decreasing and aiming to eliminate the stocks that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world, it tends to render them to a menacing degree dominant." "Here is a typical case showing the astonishing ability to 'increase and multiply,' organically bound up with delinquency and defect of various types: 'The parents of a feeble-minded girl, twenty years of age, who was committed to the Kansas State Industrial Farm on a vagrancy charge, lived in a thickly populated Negro district which was reported by the police to be the headquarters for the criminal element of the surrounding State....The mother married at fourteen, and her first child was born at fifteen. In rapid succession she gave birth to sixteen live-born children and had one miscarriage. ..." "We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population..."

Posted by: zombie at December 17, 2019 * * You could interpret it either way for your own work. That's the fun of it. Niven's Ringworld was an enormous belt around a Sun-like star, about 95 million miles in radius. This belt was about 1 million miles from edge to edge, had rim wall mountains to keep the air in, and spun for gravity. It offered something like 3 million times the area of the Earth. And the characters (two humans and two different aliens) crash land on it, and have to find a way off. Mind bending, and Niven finds room for character and funny dialog as well as action.

As mighty SCOTUS has shown us time after time, being a lawyer, and being law trained, does not prevent one from making incredibly stupid legal decisions and rulings. We've also seen plenty of proof that one needn't be law trained to have a knowledge and understanding of the law. In fact "Ignorance of the law is no excuse" is a pillar of the U.S. judicial system.

Very similar to the ringworld, but a whole lot smaller (thus vastly less resource-intensive, only requiring stripping a few planets rather than several whole systems), and would have day-night cycles. Less impressive, but far more practical for an up and coming star empire whose technology can still be distinguished from magic.

351 Yeah, but as Teela Brown pointed out, with a Dyson Sphere you can't see the stars.
Just the one. Roger Zelazny wrote a bunch of short stories about Jack of Shadows, in a world where the planet is stuck facing the sun like our moon is facing earth. One side blasting hot the other incredibly cold, and a band around the twilight that's inhabitable. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at December 17, 2019 03:41 PM (KZzsI) Ryloth from Star Wars used that concept. Then they replaced it.(now to be found in the Legends section of Wookieepedia) Posted by: Someguy at December 17, 2019 03:44 PM (7nTlT) 373

I've always wondered:
Does a "ringworld" consist of a ring of satellites/structures completely encircling a sun at a certain point in orbit -- or does a "ringworld" consist of a "ring" of inhabitable area on a planet tidally locked so that one side always faces a sun? Posted by: zombie at December 17, 2019 03:28 PM (fK2gX) Per the origin source, it is a structure 1AU in diameter, 1 Million miles wide, with walls 1000 miles high to hold in the atmosphere. Surface area is equivalent to 3 million Earth's. If you enjoy Science Fiction, and you haven't read Ringworld yet, you really should. Posted by: goozer at December 17, 2019 03:45 PM (qGJQO) 375

"Eventually, we'll settle on an eternal and unending task for her," said Lord Androalphus, High Praetor of Excruciations. "But for now, everyone down here wants a crack at her. The legions of fang-wombed hags will take their pleasure on her shattered carcasses for most of this afternoon. Tomorrow, her flesh will be melted from her bones like wax in the burning embrace of the Mother of Cowards. The day after that, she'll be sodomized by the Fallen and her bowels shredded by a demonic ejaculate of burning sand. Then, on Sunday, Satan gets her all day.

Big novels really shouldn't be adapted into feature films. The limited run TV series is generally a better bet. It's easier to capture more of what makes the book work.
I like Kubrick's approach to adaptation. Take the skeleton of the book/novella and rework it to cinema, making whatever changes necessary.

Is Jen Rubin married? If so, who is the lucky man?

In my formative years, Tea Leoni was on some awful FOX comedy that, at least before she cut her hair, I never missed a frame of. Just hearing her name still does funny things to me.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg is not an obstetrician, nor a gynecologist. She is not medically trained.

Jen,
Maybe consider some prep H under the eyes? Juts sayin. She really does look like a younger RBG though. Posted by: Minnfidel at December 17, 2019 04:00 PM (r7Fvf) 466
In my formative years, Tea Leoni was on some awful FOX comedy that, at least before she cut her hair, I never missed a frame of.
She was ridiculously sexy, just overpowering, one of those girls that made me stomp and howl like a Tex Avery cartoon wolf. Her and Claudia Schiffer, I can't explain what it is, just drives me crazy. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at December 17, 2019 04:00 PM (KZzsI) 467
Oh for crying out loud. The Weather Channel has named this RAIN STORM, "Winter Storm Finley."

Is the story about RBG or Jennifer Rubin?

(Seriously, it is a lot like TWoO. When a fan detailed it out, Niven said he was astonished, that he'd never consciously imagined Ringworld that way.)
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at December 17, 2019 03:51 PM (Ejm1K) I met Larry Niven at a convention in St. Louis many years ago, actually had a chance to talk with him about his books and ideas.

Is it just me, or does that look almost exactly like Steve Buscemi with a bad wig?

Zombie ie, to make it more confusing, Nivenot also wrote The Integral Trees, which was a region in orbit that was held together by gravitational pull from a super gas planet, around a star that was oxygen rich, where the colonists lived on giant trees in micro gravity

Ginsberg is not a sane person. She is a poster child for term limits for judges. She also has zero knowledge of the Constitution.
Posted by: I am not corey Booker at December 17, 2019 04:54 PM (Ju2mK) 484
I think the segue is that Jen Rubin is the poster child for abortion.
Or maybe gay marriage if that's how women are going to roll. Posted by: Josh Brolin's Blistered Taint at December 17, 2019 04:55 PM (x4/rQ) 485
