That’s the subtitle of my new Confirmation Tales post, “The Supreme Court Nominee Who Would Abolish Mother’s Day.” Here’s an excerpt:
If the communications technologies that exist today had existed back in 1993, Ginsburg’s report would have gone viral as soon as her name was mentioned as one of the candidates to replace Byron White. It’s unlikely that her candidacy would have survived. The attack ads write themselves:
“Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a crazy radical feminist. She wants to abolish Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. She wants to make it easier for sexual predators to prey on 12-year-old girls. She wants men and women prisoners to share the same prisons. She thinks that there are constitutional rights to prostitution and bigamy. She complains that the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts ‘perpetuate stereotyped sex roles.’”
