Hey RBG, How's that South African Constitution Working Out?

Back in 2012, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg advised a group of Egyptians to look to South Africa’s constitution as the paragon for modern governance, instead of the United States. That is quite a statement coming from a Supreme Court Justice. Here is what she said:

You should certainly be aided by all the constitution-writing that has gone one since the end of World War II. I would not look to the US constitution, if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012. I might look at the constitution of South Africa. That was a deliberate attempt to have a fundamental instrument of government that embraced basic human rights, had an independent judiciary... It really is, I think, a great piece of work that was done. Much more recent than the US constitution - Canada has a Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It dates from 1982. You would almost certainly look at the European Convention on Human Rights. Yes, why not take advantage of what there is elsewhere in the world?

I find it laughable that while this woman lectured Egyptians on the importance of liberty and freedom, she, along with her fellow travelers on the court, have demonstrated time after time, their contempt for our constitution and the federalist principles therein. The biggest threat to the American creed is a lawless judiciary fronting a powerful central government. The irony seems to be lost on her. Here is another excerpt:

Let me say first that a constitution, as important as it is, will mean nothing unless the people are yearning for liberty and freedom. If the people don't care, then the best constitution in the world won't make any difference. So the spirit of liberty has to be in the population, and then the constitution - first, it should safeguard basic fundamental human rights, like our First Amendment, the right to speak freely, and to publish freely, without the government as a censor.

I will give her that. South Africa’s constitution is laden with all sorts of Marxist ideology. It is a meandering mess of fourteen chapters containing 244 sections along with 8 schedules. And it’s all worthless. This utopian document isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on because the majority doesn’t believe those principles apply to white farmers. These unfortunates are being murdered and their property confiscated.

Today’s Democrats echo the same kind of Marxist ideology. And while this redistributive rhetoric permeates our political discourse, they’re opening our borders to third-worlders who’ll one day act as their shock troops. When that happens the United States will be fundamentally transformed into the progressive dystopia, Democrats have been waiting for.
