Let’s Talk About Ruth Bader Ginsburg being a racist piece of trash 2

Notorious RBG back in the news this past week because Katie Couric admitted in a recent book that she deleted her (ginsburg’s) remarks during an interview about people kneeling for the pledge being ungrateful for the opportunities America gave them.
https://thehill.com/changing-america/respect/equality/577005-katie-couric-slammed-for-protecting-ruth-bader-ginsburg-by
This of course after being best friends with Antonio Scalia, hyping up Kavanaugh, not having a single black law clerk for half a century, and calling Kaepernick “dumb and disrespectful.”
After choosing not to retire under Obama and give the liberals a fighting chance to retain a majority on the Court (because she wanted girl boss Hillary to nominate her replacement), her series of bad decisions culminated last year when she decided to officiate a wedding in the midst of a pandemic, and dying a week later.
Couric’s revelation shines a light on what many of us have always known: the media plays a deliberate role in shaping how our liberal heroes are perceived by the public, to the point where they’ll literally omit anything they do or say that might reflect poorly. When Couric consulted fellow media ghoul David Brooks on the matter, he reassured her that Ginsburg “probably just didn’t understand the question,” which in itself is not exactly reassuring. We’ve been hit with pro RBG propaganda so much in recent years, and told to hold her up as the pinnacle of being a feminist progressive girl boss, but in reality she was just a doddering old racist who only respected and befriended other doddering old racists.
What do y’all think?

‘Beating a dead horse’ is an idiom that means the subject matter is already well trodden and agreed upon. I don’t think that’s the case here.
Maybe you’re just calling RBG a horse idk

She has been sufficiently sanctified. I have no problem with hearing the bad side as well.
Nobody's perfect, but my main problem with her was refusing to retire when Obama could have named the replacement. It looks like Breyer might be going down the same road.

This example almost became another victim of liberal revisionism. Do you ever find it interesting how so many women who genuinely fought for equality through class struggle have been left out of the history books? Dorothy Day, Emma Goldman, and Angela Davis come to mind. Forget the days of agitation and class warfare, for only when a woman is selected through the bourgeois process of electoral politics do they become safe for consumption.

Why does no one bring up that its fucking DUMB that the head of one branch nominates the head of another? Seems like checks and balances will be difficult if 2/3 are in cahoots.

This in not a complete answer, but we don't elect Supreme Court Justices because that would be worse. The President nominates them and the Senate confirms them. It used to take 60 to confirm, but in 2017 McConnell invoked the "nuclear option" requiring a simple majority. It's an imperfect system but it got a lot more flawed when they let McConnell get away with preventing a confirmation on Obama's nominee, because it was the final year of his Presidential term. The whole thing was unconstitutional but they had the votes so they did it.

We live in a world where the most racist thing to say is that you're not racist.
There's not a lot of wiggle room.

How would electing them be worse?

People elected pander to their constituencies and to their financial backers. This would reduce their independence, relative to what we have now.

They shouldn’t have independence.
Their judgment on the law should reflect the opinion of the general public. Way easier to do that with a nationwide vote than by allowing some corporate backed president and corporate backed senate to seat them for life.

Because the corporate backed president, who is chosen by a nationwide vote, and the corporate backed senate, chosen by statewide votes, are well known for their independence from influence and deference to public opinion?

Not at all, but it’s much more democratic to choose judges that reflect public sentiment, rather than half a dozen octogenarians trapped in iron lungs.

How would they do it? By popular vote and the Democrat's choice wins 100% of the time?

It would be good. It would democratic. It would require amending the constitution.

Electing judges is a great way to make sure that the judges are incompetent.

Yet being appointed for life by someone who is elected somehow ensures competency?
