Ginsburg Mistakenly Identifies A Senator As A Woman

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg mistakenly identified Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., as one of the “women of the senate,” who can help bring harmony to Washington, D.C.

Ginsburg made the observation Monday night while receiving Allegheny College’s Prize for Civility in Public Life, which was also being award posthumously to her former friend and colleague Justice Antonin Scalia.

The event happened to fall the same day Scalia’s replacement, Neil Gorsuch, was sworn in at the nation’s 101st Supreme Court justice.

I think Ginsburg died two years ago.  Once we can prove it, we can replace her.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg erroneously labeled South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham as one of the "women of the Senate" on Monday.

Ginsburg's misstatement came in her remarks upon accepting an Allegheny College award given to her and the late Justice Antonin Scalia for civility in public life. Hours after Justice Neil Gorsuch was sworn in to replace Scalia, Ginsburg took to the podium in calling on lawmakers to work together, but mistakenly identified South Carolina's senior senator as a woman.

...

More fake reporting from the media. Obviously this remark was not "erroneous", she was absolutely correct in her assessment of Sen. Graham as one of the "women of the Senate."

Justice Ginsburg did manage to pull it together for Gorsuch's swearing-in ceremony ...I almost didn't recognize her ... and she stayed awake, too.

Quoted from today's Justice Ginsberg speech while accepting an award.....

“Let’s hope members of Congress, the members Allegheny College has already honored — Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. John McCain [R-Ariz.] — the women of the Senate, Sens. Dianne Feinstein [D-Calif.] and Lindsey Graham [R-SC] — let’s hope that they and others of goodwill will lead in restoring harmonious work ways,” Ginsburg said during her acceptance speech."

Cute, but I suspect one of the "people" that they honored in the past was "the women of the Senate" as a group.

   Maybe she's on the net.

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

Are we going to do a Deadpool on SCOTUS in terms of who dies next? It would be interesting.

I got money on Breyer being the next to die. It will be an accident involving auto asphyxiation at a gay bath house.

Nearly as earth shattering as Spicer insisting Assad is worse than Hitler because Hitler didn't gas his citizens.
