WOW: Even Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg thinks Senate's handling of Kavanaugh confirmation is wrong

The Notorious RGB is going to tick off a lot of her devotees with this one.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg gave a talk at George Washington University Law School Wednesday and said she wishes she had a magic wand to have Senate confirmation hearings go back to the way they used to be.

Justice Ginsburg (visiting @gwlaw) contrasts her confirmation process to Kavanaugh’s, says it was “truly bipartisan” back then. “The way it was was right. The way it is is wrong… I wish I could wave a magic wand and have it go back to the way it was.” #RBG

This might be the first time we’ve agreed with Ruth Bader Ginsburg on anything.

Agreed. Back when it was about qualifications and judicial philosophy, not about which dishonest smear could get the most retweets.https://t.co/nIZHlN1SGV

NOW: Justice Ginsberg (Confirmed 96-3!!) laments how Judge #Kavanaugh is being treated during today's modern, and highly partisan, #SCOTUS confirmation processhttps://t.co/BR2nleiC8n

Wow: she was confirmed by a 96 to 3 vote? We had to double check just to make sure that was correct, but sure enough, that’s how it went down in 1993.

Republicans never did this to Ginsburg. https://t.co/DCmGSZwHqb

There’s the thing. Just be honest and say you want to oppose Kavanaugh out of political spite. Stop launching pretend attacks suggesting he is unqualified to interpret the Constitution. https://t.co/CQNjIcmkuw

But then Booker and Harris wouldn’t be able to grandstand… what of their 2020 sound bites? Do their fake feels and shartacus moments not count? https://t.co/M4q18ykS4V
