In Oral Arguments for the political gerrymandering case from Wisconsin , Gill v. Whitford, our new supreme justice was sent home to do his homework by Justice Ginsburg
The New Yorker reports
Gorsuch went on to give his colleagues a civics lecture about the text of the Constitution. “And where exactly do we get authority to revise state legislative lines? When the Constitution authorizes the federal government to step in on state legislative matters, it’s pretty clear—if you look at the Fifteenth Amendment, you look at the Nineteenth Amendment, the Twenty-sixth Amendment, and even the Fourteenth Amendment, Section 2.” In other words, Gorsuch was saying, why should the Court involve itself in the subject of redistricting at all—didn’t the Constitution fail to give the Court the authority to do so?
Well, sometimes people who attend these hearings assume RGB is sleeping, dozing, or daydreaming… but alas…
In her still Brooklyn-flecked drawl, she grumbled, “Where did ‘one person, one vote’ come from?”
BAM….
some have resented her for not retiring mid Obsma’s Turn so we could replace that valuable seat, because you know.. age and stuff…. then she shuts us all up with her cunning knowledge and wit .
In short, Ginsburg was saying to Gorsuch that he and his allies might control the future of the Supreme Court, but she wasn’t going to let them rewrite the history of it—at least not without a fight.
