Yes, you read that headline correctly – Ruth Bader Ginsburg actually praised Brett Kavanaugh in public. Why? Kavanaugh has an all-woman law clerk team.
According to Justice Ginsburg, the female law clerks now outnumber the male law clerks.
Speaking via prepared remarks at a judges conference in New York on Friday, Ginsburg praised Kavanaugh for selecting only women for his team of law clerks. The move meant that, for the first time in Supreme Court history, there are more female clerks than male clerks serving the court.”
“Justice Kavanaugh made history by bringing on board an all-female law clerk crew. Thanks to his selections, the Court has this Term, for the first time ever, more women than men serving as law clerks,” she said.”
However, Ginsburg cautioned that further progress is needed to ensure equal gender representation at the Supreme Court.”
“Women did not fare nearly as well as advocates,” Ginsburg explained. “Only about 21 percent of the attorneys presenting oral argument this term were female; of the 34 attorneys who appeared more than once, only six were women.”
A couple of thoughts on this…
Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been on the Supreme Court since 1993. It has been within her power, this ENTIRE TIME, to bring on as MANY female law clerks as she wanted onto her OWN CREW. Was Ginsburg not able to find competent female law clerks over the last 26 years and make an entire group of them at once? What gives here? She point-blank admits that Kavanaugh made history by doing this, not her. Wow. So much for the sisterhood, I guess?
So, is anyone going to be eating crow over their Kavanaugh comments with this news? All those protestors out there who screamed and cried over the idea of Justice Kavanaugh?
You know, that same Justice Kavanaugh who hasn’t signaled that he’s going to overturn Roe v. Wade at all? Do we hear nary a peep now from the screeching hypocrites who were more than happy to hype false claims in an attempt to destroy a man’s life?
And now this same Supreme Court justice has done exactly what he claimed he has done his entire career in hiring and promoting women in law. And we hear crickets, except from Ginsburg – who praises Kavanaugh for what she could have done for well over 20 years.
What an insane world we live in.

George V says: “So, is anyone going to be eating crow over their Kavanaugh comments with this news?”
Actually, no one will eat crow. The progressive left will see this as evidence that Kavanaugh is a serial sexual predator who has surrounded himself with younger women so he can prey up on them.
GWB says: more women than men serving as law clerks
further progress is needed to ensure equal gender representation
The next bit of your post explains this, but that LEAPT out at me as idiotic, and characteristic of progressives.

Well, she didn’t have all those women she’d shagged in college to draw upon. /snark
(Actually, George V, he’s probably promoting conservative women, and we know they’re all Stockholm Syndrome with those rapey, white males, so they wouldn’t know it if he did rape them.
/prog )
in an attempt to destroy a man’s life?
They’ve all moved on to another ritual denunciation (several actually) by now. So many witches and heretics to burn and so little time. (Though more time than they would have if they had an actual job.)
Blackgriffin says: Leftists won’t be impressed by this. They’ll just claim it’s all for show to discredit his critics on the Left.
Rob Shotzberger says: The protestors are all mentally ill.
njc says: Could it be she actually approves of the individuals? I hope not!
