Some of our Supreme Court justices care more about politics and logical gymnastics than the text of the Constitution.
That reality was on full display at a meeting of the National Women's Party.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was asked to talk about the Equal Rights Amendment while addressing the audience at the Belmont-Paul Women's Equality National Monument.
"So you've written a few articles over the years about the need for the ERA ... and you've of course noted that the ERA would give the Supreme Court a more secure handle in its support for equality," said Jill C. Morrison, Executive Director of the Women's Law and Public Policy Fellowship at Georgetown Law.
"But as you mentioned, as both a litigator and in your time on the court, you've actually built precedent in that area," Morrison continued. "So could you explain why you believe that the ERA is still as needed today as it ever was?"
Ginsburg tried to explain what she thinks is wrong with the 14th Amendment, but she couldn't find the pocket Constitution she supposedly carries in her purse. Fortunately, an audience member was kind enough to provide one for her.
While speaking to the National Woman's Party on 08/26/18, an audience member had to give Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg a copy of the Constitution because she lost hers and couldn't remember what the 14th Amendment said.

We need to get our country back in its constitutional box, but we can't rely on justices like Ginsburg to get us there. And while the majority of the Court appears to respect the text of the Constitution, the status quo won't last long.
We need real, permanent reforms, and We the People can get them with an Article V Convention of States.
A Convention of States can propose constitutional amendments that reverse the last 100 years of faulty court decisions. These amendments can reduce the size and jurisdiction of the federal government and return power to the states and the people.
