As the Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan get underway, the Edward M. Kennedy Institute is partnering with the PBS NewsHour to provide video highlights of the nine most recent Senate confirmation hearings.
Justice Ginsburg, only the second woman ever to serve on the high court, was confirmed by a 96-3 vote in August 1993.
This is the perfect example of a person who thinks before she speaks. Every word that is spoken is both nicely articulated and sincerely thought out.
Selective speaking is what politicians do. Like snakes.
She was an evil person who was pro the mass murder of children in abortion over 60 million people killed in the US alone let us hope she repented before she met her maker
She speaks slowly and with every word holding great meaning, knowing that every single thing she says will become record. She’s always realized the great importance of every single word
Honestly I think she was sick here.
@@thedavephan you should be ashamed of yourself, what a disgusting comments
She has said many times that her mother always advised her to “be a lady” really meaning to stay calm, breathe, think about the words your saying and speak slow in a clam respectful manner. That’s why she speaks the way she does. She thinks before she speaks
@@factsonly4124 her overwhelming obsession with gender has shown that while she is measured, she is also misguided
Yeah it seems in general in the 90s people spoke way slower than now
Apart from Justice Ginsberg's measured responses, the civil nature of both parties contrasts sharply to what we have now. America has sadly lost its respect for political differences.
Something surely both sides can agree on.
Better times cause complacency. Only now as things get worse and worse and we have to deal with the results of past actions people are starting to factionalize.
The Democrats are only civilized when they see their puppets perform. See the confirmation hearings of Robert Bork, Clarence Thomas, before this one of Bader Ginsburg.
*Anyone else watching after Kavanugh nomination?*
yes and i noticed they said at the end that they implemented a closed meeting to go over any personal allegations... did they get rid of that for Kavanaugh? because the only reason we had his public meeting about allegations was because the press found out.
Diana Palacios I think this is how confirmation hearings are supposed to go. I am not sure what we are watching with this new dude they are trying to hire😁
Yes.
yes : [

Trailer about some a movie about her life
She was voted in 96-3. That speaks volumes about her character.
And the bipartisanship of the republicans. Can you tell me how many democrats have voted for a republican nominee? If you don't know, I'll tell you. ZERO!!!!!!
RIP
YesYou 123333 of the nominees not accused of sexual misconduct? Yeah, that may be tough for bipartisanship support.
@ERIC MALTSER Hahahahahaha Scalia was over 30 years ago. LOL And there were 35 Nays against Alito. So, you're FULL OF SHIT.
@@HarrisonHollers Yeah, ACCUSED is the key word here.
She’s a deep thinker. Words mean something to her.
I loved the way she thought tbh. She was so straightforward and to the point, but like so earnest at the same time.
Kinda reminds me of Mr. Rogers.. the way she talk so polite and thoughtful..
@Carl Carl 👍
Too deep we are faling asleep waiting for the next word. lol
I love the way she speaks. Not a single wasted word.
I like that about her too!
Not a single one wasted indeed...
Just the ones in her head as why all the pauses.
She’s reading off of a scripted prepared statement...it’s right in front of her. Watch the video again....sheesh
@@BlackJack4968 ALL the Supreme Court nominees have references to which they quote or refer when answering specific court cases. Now, go to bed!
Even back then she knew to make sure she worded her response carefully ,to avoid political twisting of her answers /words. She’s what we want in a Supreme Court Justice ,a carefully thoughtful person
I like beer
BeefPapa I like beer back then , sometimes I drank too much , I still like beer ,do you like beer ? 😭my dad kept a calendar so I did too
I hope she is able to continue pass 2020. She is a national treasure.
JodySoul almost did, 3 months shy.
KeveneveK Palindrome ahhh ok I see .... your a special kind of ass who doesn’t care if something constitutionally allowed and or fought for if it does t agree with your politics . And everyone who does follow and agree with the constitution should be dead.... ok champ you’re a brave one for sure
After watching videos of her later in age and then watching this it’s nice to know she’s always spoke slowly with pauses and isn’t a sign of recent decline in health
Big Patio... Just shows the dementia started early
She can't even hold her head up anymore.
Coming up in the American legal system the way she did she couldn’t afford to waste her words, every single one has thought behind it and meaning. Men still don’t let women get their thoughts out before complaining about them, imagine what it was like in the 60s and 70s in a field where women were simply not welcome. “Nevertheless she persisted.”
@@staceyseik5603 She opined that the age of consent should be 12 years old.
@@MovieMaker2100 In what case, article or interview did she say this?
These hearings have come a long way. They are nowhere near this civil.
Political science is my major. i have always satyed far away from law because sometimes i dont feel smart enough. Ruth gives me confidence in the idea that i can understand law.
Take pre law classes! You won’t regret it!
And specifically any legal reasoning / philosophy of law class
Like intro to legal proceedings or something?
Defly Plaise that could be good, sounds like it’s procedure based so it’ll probably be teach you about how things go down in a lawsuit. If you want to learn about interpreting the law itself though, you need substantive courses. I took classes called civil liberties, civil rights and constitutional law in my undergrad and i learned all about the supreme court decisions. If you can find out whether any of the classes require you to “brief cases”, definitely take those!
She actually answers questions!
Without going on about how much she likes to drink. Imagine that.
Kay Muldoon she was never asked about her drinking nor did it become an issue in her hearings. You think Kavanaugh wanted to talk about it?
@@kaymuldoon3575 Yes, she said she drank before the SOTU that's why she was dozing off. Is she and Nancy Pelosi twins?
The amount of anxiety to sit there and answer so many people
Who's here after her death?
Me
Stop using a woman's death for likes on TH-cam
JusticeAA yummy 😋
Me
JusticeAA: No.
RBG fought for *the right to make the decision* about whether or not to bear a child.
She did not make those decisions.
Your statement is the exact opposite of what is true.
You did not listen to her.
She did not believe others should decide for women!
Am I the only one who landed here after the Amy Coney Barrett hearing?
no
nope! that's why we are all here lol
She was so careful with words. She was a great speaker! May she rest in peace! 💙💙💙
confirmed 96-3. could that happen now? i wonder.
thepositivelynegativ Hah, hell would freeze over if a nominee received that vote. Justice Scalia was unanimously confirmed in 1986.
I pray that our "elected" officials will eventually grow up. Learn to compromise, and not pitch fits.
You had Rehnquist, Scalia, Thomas, Souter(at the time thought he was a conservative), Kennedy, O'Connor all conservative, nominated by Republican. Of COURSE the Senate was giving Ginsburg an easy PASS.
th-cam.com/video/28dHbIR_NB4/w-d-xo.html
Still all about ABORTION. Big money maker for Attorneys, and the minority crowd who choose sane sex to buy a baby ie adopt so to speak. Sickening is what it is. My 1st Amendment rights of Free Speech and Freedom of Religion.
Never with a Republican appointee. Wait till Ginsburg gets replaced..fireworks.
She's so careful with her words. Such an admirable trait.
ACB is also careful with words. Her higher IQ allows her to speak without pauses or notes. .
@@austrobok2958 it took me a while to figure out who ACB was haha. She's too new to gauge. Quick to listen slow to speak my friend.
Supreme Court Nomination hearings 50 years ago were far more amiable back then compared to 2020...
this was only 27 years ago but i agree with your sentiment
50 yrs ago would be a black & white video.
Of course, as with any American politics.
A real giant stuffed inside a tiny woman.. Simply amazing. Rest in Power, RBG.
Anyone watching after this evening news of Hon. Ruth Bader Demise ? Missing her RIP SHE WILL ALWAYS BE AN INSPIRATION FOR MANY.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
rechts ist göttlich why lol
Anthony Richardson could not have said better ⭐️
rechts ist göttlich walk away your tiny little opinion is discarded.
Truly the only SCOTUS justice that reached a legend status. Thank you Queen.
I'll give you that...at this time anyway. However Amy Coney Barrett's day has arisen and I have no doubt, especially after the hearing that she too will be right up there along side of the amazing Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Scalia was quite legendary.
Oliver Wendell Holmes changed the legal practice too. But RBG was definitely one for the people, and that's soooo rare in the ivory tower of supreme courts
@@mommaof4boys700Ever since her confirmation hearing when she failed to even CLOSELY enumerate the rights guaranteed under the 1st Amendment, I can’t take her seriously I’m afraid. I mean she is a professor of law and can’t do that???
Damn she is bright. Will miss her.
and. yet completely sensible, down-to-earth and quintessentially American. So refreshing to listen to this.
Thought it was just after 5 minutes they were all like “yeah she good”
Damn this woman is brilliant.
If you say so. Most see her as a traitor. Tells other countries not to adopt our constitution
VAJRAMINDMICHELE.... Called major dementia
Damn, you're stupid.
VAJRAMINDMICHELE Too much brilliance = thinking outside the box on your own.. That is for inventors and scientists..Not for supreme court justices. There job is and should be to adhere to the constitution 100 percent!!!
gina greco--
A brilliant mind is what I meant---not sure what you are referring to but you go-ahead with whatever, c'est la vie!
I am here post watching day 1 and 2 of the Amy Barrett hearing, and it’s just sad far we decayed in terms of basic decency, fairness and ability to have reasonable discourse on both sides.
RIP Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Brad1156 Have some decency, man.
Adam Byrnes I don’t particularly like her either but everyone does deserve sympathy.
@Brad1156 abortion is great
Such a clear distinction from today's nominee. Such a shame.
Her halted speech, I thought was due to her age in a recent video I watched. I am relieved to know she has always spoken this way.
I think it’s her thinking through everything to say it in the best way. Either that or she’s really tired
Still relieved?
@@bubblesbubbles3415 I just realised I may have phrased that wrong. I don't mean I am relieved she speaks this way, I am relieved it was not due to her age.
Legal minds are often trained to talk slowly- to ensure that their utterances are refined to the highest degree. Note how she does not umm and ahh
I would imagine that she didn't speak this way off the record
Don't die!
Please do Ruth, please do, we need a justice who uses law instead of feelings to come to decisions. Theres now way shes going to make it 6 more years.
No Retire. She can't hold her head up and she stay awake. Just retire.
Yes, do. Her and a few others. Then it will really be a TRUMP COURT!
MisterGreenGuy We do not need a conservative in the supreme court, especially one of trumps picking. The way the world is heading, we need an open look on all laws and cases, not a narrow view
knock knock knocking on heavens door
Triple love this woman! Wish I had a grandma like her :(
+Jako32 : Are you a Jew? She has done so much to push the Zio agenda, ruining our once-great country
UniversityOf Truth you're an idiot. How about to post a comment that makes sense. Pleas explain the logic behind your pathetic comment.
Compare this intellectual hearing to today's hearing loool
And the hearings now ... 🤦🏽♀️
What a difference. What a legacy. We miss you, Justice Ginsburg. Thank you for being on the correct side of history.
Yes because killing babies is so the right side of history.
Has she always been 85
Rhino Repossessed my Fax Machine hahahahaha
Lmao dead
Have you always been an idiot Rhino???
Bahahahaha!!!!!! I know she has always hated the American Constitution.
She is so Respectable that it is Embarrassing to the Country that she has such a Disrespect for Kavanugh at his Swearing in Ceremony..
@ Beau Morris Have you just decided that you're going to just start whatever words you feel like with a capital letter instead of following the rules of proper English?
I'm watching in 2020... Right before Trump is going to replace her
very refreshing to see a nominee actually answer questions
Some people need notes, very few not.
A true legend that makes me emotional to watch. She is so special.
@Bruce Wade thanks Bruce 💗
What is so special about baby killers and supporters of infanticide?
Rest In Peace RBG, America will remember you as a hero and a giant. I hope we can live up to your legacy.
Holy shit GRASSLEY was doing it even back then lol
Dylan Orr yep I just watched Scalia confirmation and he was doing it back then.
Dinasaur
Biden has him beat. Biden has been in almost 48 years now. Grassley has only been in since 1980, Biden since 1973.
Kevin Burke doing what?
He's old as dirt.
"She believed that the law must give equal rights to all groups. For instance, she convinced the court that a portion of the Social Security Act (a law that provides protection for people against loss of income due to old age, disability, or death) favored women over men because it gave certain benefits to widows but not to widowers."
@Roy Earle
No one promotes abortion you nincompoop. Just the right. What percentage of pro choice women actually go through an abortion?
Well, it's actually to be debated, in a fun light-hearted way, if we were to generalize, in modern times, well? If there was a generalized difference in "needs" or "loss"?? Who should have the greater benefits on losing a spouse? Men? Or women?? Who has lost more & so needs more benefits? Husband's? Or wives?!
this women is si smart! i can’t be more happy that she is where she is at.
Shes an idiot who cant even remember the 14th amendment, confessed to cheating in college and was clueless to law during these proceedings. She uses feeling instead of law to make her decisions. She should have NEVER been on the court. Not much longer and Trump can replace her too.
Good luck with trump replacing her anytime soon. And who has not cheated in college tell me you are sooo smart never had to cheat? I’m not saying that she did cheated or not and that it might be okay just taking an assumption to your comment. Look at the Kavanaugh nomination he “sexually assault” a women at least not as bad as that don’t you think.
So much for due process, evidence and truth huh ? Then again this buffoon sees nothing wrong with everyone in college cheating.. wtf. Praising a judge while celebrating cheating and dishonesty .. Amazing.
Behold the intellect and integrity of a typical NPC. Filled with state sponsored horseshit to his brim.
Thank you for posting this, EMKInstitute.
Seems Ginsburg a deep thinker and truly honest on every single word she made. Also she’s not afraid to speak out her opinions. Cannot see any of these from Amy C Barret’s hearings. She tried so hard to escape from questions on most issues. Very disappointed.
@John Days absolutely lol and they hate it.
Her refusal to give opinion or 'forecast' on judicial issues is good and wise, especially give the criticism with which she is faced.
“No man was ordered out of service Because he was about to be a father” well you don’t say 🤔🤦🏽♂️
Whoah, how times are strange.
You see how she actually answers the questions.... That is the point of these hearings. ACB is just wasting people’s time by refusing to answer any questions
Did you actually watch the entirety of the hearing for ACB? Not just snippets/highlights. If so, if you came to it with an open mind, then you would understand why she did not answer many questions about active cases, did not grade precedent, did not share personal stances on issues, etc. There are ethics rules and tradition for judges to not do that. It’s been the case for every judicial nominee to not answer those, not just ACB.
Her personal feelings about cases are irrelevant to her position as a judge. Judges are suppose to be impartial, have an open mind, and go through the judicial process in order to decide a case. To do otherwise would be judicial activism. Activists on the court are not good.
If she did answer with her personal feelings then any litigator could use that as an argument for why she isn’t fit to hear their specific case, they could argue that previous cases were incorrectly/unfairly decided, etc.
She was definately one of a kind. Her words very measured and calculated. Didnt blurt out the first thing that came to her mind and try to pass it off as an intelligent thought.
Oh look, someone who ANSWERS questions, with a correct vocabulary
Other times, others values, other America....
@b7702, I often write briefs with alternative legal arguments. Sometimes you have a threshold question that, depending on the answr, takes you down different paths requiring different arguments. Sometimes, that's not the case and your'e just throwing theories around hoping one will stick. When such theories are totally incompatible, they tend to highlight weak or false assumptions in your reasoning, making them risky to make to the court. Ginsburg's arguments sound like the latter.
Ruth didn't look a day over 75 back then.
Because she was 61 then.
jmua04 and you don’t look a day over 108.
lol
@@slytherin3034 60*
Even at 2x speed she has the slowest speech of any justice before or after her.
See Grassley was nice to her.. I just wish. Some from a different political view as him. Could show the same respect.
What a remarkably brilliant and compassionate woman! Her service is a true gift to our republic.
she is an ignoramus and a radical leftist who ran the ACLU
+Jon Spinelli kicks ass in her dreams you mean right ? cuz man o man is she a snoozer lmaoo
She will be exposed. EVIL
Look into her beliefs in the 70's. She is perverted
Steven Hunter can’t wait for her to be gone so a patriotic American can get that seat back. MAGA!!
I love listening to all justices from Scalia, to Breyer, to Bader-Ginsburg, to Gorsuch, to Sotomayor, and now Coney-Barett. The wisdom and judicial knowledge they have is truly above partisan politics, and all humble, too! The only justice I find unfit for the role is Kavanaugh. Listening to his confirmation hearing and interviews is like listening to an arrogant college fraternity jock. Reading his decisions, especially next to other justices' writings especially the conservative ones, makes his look like a high school english essay! No wonder only Gorsuch joins him in writing his opinions. Most of the time, he joins someone else or writes opinions by himself 🤣
Brilliant human being. Kavanugh will never be able to catch up.
Shes a fraud and soon dead. Replaced with gun loving conservative. I cant wait!
Both parties should gave exercised birth control. Abortion she not be a form of birth control
It’s not a form of birth control. It’s a last resort for people who make mistakes, are assaulted, and whose birth control failed. It’s not a fun experience. Insinuating that women go and do this a few times a year rather than taking a pill or insisting male partners use a condom is ridiculous.
She is very direct to the answers. I am a big fan!
she takes forever to say a sentence just like obama..but it just shows you tht they try to form well thought out sentences, couldn't say that for Trump. That man speaks his mind so fast tht he comes off as hustler from the streets. How can we allow a man like tht to hold the keys to nuclear weapons?
Because Americans aren’t as awesome as we like to think we are . More than half didn’t even vote ! That’s insanity but yet we celebrate Independence Day and Veterans Day and all that -to honor those that died for OUR rights but here we are, completely complacent with the fact that we continuously violate and put in vain the sacrifices and work of those that died so we could vote.
Now she just falls asleep. She needs to retire now and go to a nursing home
Wolf you’re too blind to realize that’s why trump won. America didn’t want another politician who sweet talked the nation but did nothing, trump talks a lot but he backs it up with a booming economy and foreign affairs. We finally have a real American president who’s not rehearsing speeches instead of taking action.
She's a communist Bolshevik,, She hates the Constitutional Republic and wants a Democracy Government. She propagates identity politics as Karl Marx and she's a jew like Marx.. She hates Trump.. But not all Jews want this
Is this an NPC post?
when did this aire?
1993. She was appointed by President Clinton
@@onlyMistaZ Month?
Justice Ginsburg is so insightful and professional; infact the hearing itself was far more professional than what is being witnessed at the Barrett hearings. I so miss Justice Ginsburg.
Rip Fearless One
I miss the days when congress didn't play games with qualified appointees, she obviously was well-qualified. Chuck Grassley is still around today and did the best he could with Kavanaugh but the show around him has become a circus.
What happened to this Congress? Everyone asks about the issues, not attacks and politics!
The speed at which she speaks is so exasperating...
I read a bunch of articles about how Ginsburg didn't comment either way about stances on certain issues. I don't see that at all. I realize this isn't the entire hearing, but the fact that she spoke about abortion, women's rights shows she did have a stance and shared it. Amy Coney Barrett's testimony was about not answering as many questions as possible, when her views are obvious outside of the hearing. It made no sense and also in my opinion, looked weak.
Bc Republicans know their base ain't the readin type so they spew bullshit and the base runs with it
Now, it ain't about real view points of nominee's, or qualifications, it's about the corruption brought by Republicans to "reshape" the courts with Republican judges. Barrett was their girl. Sides with corporate over worker majority. On abortion, gay marriage and healthcare, she was the one.
Lady Vader, "I will bend you to my will as the Emperor commands."
May her memory be a blessing
So sorry to hear she's passed...... we needed her now more than ever
Don't worry, Trump will find a worthy replacement.
Where are the questions in this hearing about discrimination against black people?
the hearings take place over many days
And that's how you actually answer questions.
She is so beautiful always and excellent spoken! Love her energy and miss her dearly.
♥️
@b7702, I understand the concept of alternative arguments, but those two statements, as Ginsburg explains them here to the Senate Judiciary Committee (not in a brief) are contradictory. I actually think both arguments are plausible, but they are not congruent. Also, alternative arguments usually take alternative views of the law ("even if this legal theory doesn't work....this theory does..."). But here, she's offering alternative views of reality (who has the choice). A daring move.
"a partner truly extraordinary for his generation"
I cried rip mam god bless
Watching at x1.5 playback speed to understand what's going on
I do not agree with everything Justice Ginsberg believed and fought for but I respect her very much!!
Rest In Peace, Ruth.
Glad she's a dem and still alive. She could have left during the Obama administration, for a younger replacement. But she didn't.
Το θαρρος&η ετοιμολογια της κας Ginsburg ειναι πολυ εμφανη στην συνυντευξη της. Οπως&η φιλαληθεια της. Υπεροχη συνεντευξη με ριξηκελευθες απαντησεις
Not a single "umm" or "uhh"
Rest In Peace, Justice Ginsburg

I didn’t agree with almost none of her views, but gotta give respect where respect is due
Compare and contrast.
This woman is so much of an angel she really has the best interests of the people at heart
She doesn't have the interest of unborn humans does she.
Oh Gawd who gives a rats ass Atheist here you have no standings with me and your Unborn human crap you can keep to ya self
The RightStuff You're an idiot. I see it all the time conservatives name calling and degrading liberals. So who the hell cares if liberals do it. Both political sides resort to name calling it's been like that since the beginning of time.
HigherPhoto I guess neither did the mostly republican judges who sat on the Supreme Court and voted for the abortion right.
I doubt a real angel would support abortion
Rest In Power 💖
Fuhq Boi I’m not offended
Spoken like a true communist.
Todays hearings: “im not sure what your asking, senator
Nobody behaved like Kamala Harris and Booker back then.
Every word is worth at least a hundred. It reminds me of another visionary, Bucky Fuller. Not a superfluous word, it makes you think. Brava. BTW, I was born during the Truman administration and can attest to all sorts of discrimination. We've come a long way on an even longer road.
She says she wouldn't look to the US Constitution if she were to write a new one ???? I find that a little problematic especially as she is a supreme court Justice ,just sayin :)
LOL The comments current days are totally different from 3-4 years's comments,but i think i know the reason.
Why are the mennever asked these type of questions?
RIP what a gift !
Back then some Republicans were decent human being. This Republican, I can't recognize. I'm voting Democrats for now.
