I nominate you all for TOTD for taking a simple message and turning it into a political soapbox

No less than 3 people kept bothering Ruth Bader Ginsburg on a flight this afternoon for pictures. An AA employee sitting next to me even tried to give her his business card. Let them be especually when she's head down in a book.

Clarifications aside, you're of course correct. In spite of the massive long-term impacts a radical supreme court justice can have (from any point of the political/social spectrum), wishing one dead comes across as a wish for the destruction of the entire concept of American lawful society. In spite of supreme court decisions that I think are utterly destructive to the US and against the constitution that those judges are supposed to uphold, I strongly prefer our current system to having a king, religious oligarchy, military "protectorship", etc etc.

ISIS has a court system too, and I prefer ours in spite of our system's bitterly divided nature.
