I agree with RGB that a minority opinion in an 8-1 Supreme Court Case needs to have that opinion stated on record, because that opinion could be the basis for the MAJORITY opinion in a Supreme Court decades from now. The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land, but it is subject to change. Some Justices will vote, in regards to how they see an issue, in terms of Constitutionality, as a higher priority, than his/her personal opinion of a case. Justices of the 1840s and 1850s, who might deplore slavery, as an institution, probably had to make rulings in support of slaveowners (such as in the Dred Scott). A future Supreme Court might make a ruling on a case, based on the minority opinion of RBG and on a futuristic Constitutional Amendment (like the 30th Amendment)...
I wonder when and why people stopped dissenting? In a healthy society surely dissent should not be viewed as a disservice? the tools are available to all, so why are people not using them?
I hope my mind is as sharp as RBG's when I reach that age.
An ode to Ruth
It ain't over till it's over! Love ya Ruthie, you are greatly missed, rest in peace.
Imagine her saying that only women could get pregnant now. She would be canceled in a heartbeat. How times have changed.
Beautiful.
