Ginsburg Can't Remember 14th Amendment, Gets Pocket Constitution from the Audience

Published in Blog on October 15, 2018 by Article V Patriot

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.

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.

Petition your state legislator

Almost everyone knows that our federal government is on a dangerous course. The unsustainable debt combined with crushing regulations on states and businesses is a recipe for disaster.

What is less known is that the Founders gave state legislatures the power to act as a final check on abuses of power by Washington, DC. Article V of the U.S. Constitution authorizes the state legislatures to call a convention to proposing needed amendments to the Constitution. This process does not require the consent of the federal government in Washington DC.

I support Convention of States; a national movement to call a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution, restricted to proposing amendments that will impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials and members of Congress.

I want our state to be one of the necessary 34 states to pass a resolution calling for this kind of an Article V convention. You can find a copy of the model resolution and the Article V Pocket Guide (which explains the process and answers many questions) here: https://conventionofstates.com/handbook_pdf

I ask that you support Convention of States and consider becoming a co-sponsor. Please respond to my request by informing the national COS team of your position, or sending them any questions you may have:
