Into Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the ACLU Years | Into America Podcast – Ep. 73 | MSNBC

Before Ruth Bader Ginsburg served on the Supreme Court, she was arguing before it. On this episode of Into America, host Trymaine Lee sits down with Justice Ginsburg’s former colleague, Kathleen Peratis, to look at how Ginsburg’s work with the ACLU’s Women’s Rights Project shaped history. Plus, they discuss her legal strategy over the years: challenging the law step by step, drawing lessons from the movement for racial justice, and taking on cases featuring men to make the point that gender bias hurts everyone.

  1. Sadly Trump has ‘dialed into’ what America is about…for 45% of you….What the scariest part of this scenario is filtering out to be….Religion – America attacks and demonizes countries like Iran because they are ‘run’ by religion and their leaders…..America is turning into the same sort of country….and as we all know religions are the basis of ‘hate’……..[Nearly] every single war ever fought on this planet, throughout time, is based on religion…one god fighting another….America was founded on the separation of state and church, because the founding father’s knew how divisive religion is…….Trump is changing this and allowing religion to become the state…….be very afraid, America…very afraid!

  2. Amazing how far to the Right the SCOTUS has gone in their last 50+ years in control of the court! They were the court that decided Roe vs. Wade in the early 70s. Now 50 years later they’re going to overturn the, so-called, “Liberal” decision!

  3. *Obamacare Will Increase Health Spending By $7,450 For A Typical Family of Four*
    Sept 2013

    *It was one of candidate Obama’s most vivid and concrete campaign promises. Forget about high minded (some might say high sounding) but gauzy promises of hope and change. This candidate solemnly pledged on June 5, 2008: “In an Obama administration, we’ll lower premiums by up to $2,500 for a typical family per year….. We’ll do it by the end of my first term as President of the United States.” Unfortunately, the experts working for Medicare’s actuary have (yet again[1]) reported that in its first 10 years, Obamacare will boost health spending by “roughly $621 billion” above the amounts Americans would have spent without this misguided law.*

    What this means for a typical family of four

    $621 billion is a pretty eye-glazing number. Most readers will find it easier to think about how this number translates to a typical American family—the very family candidate Obama promised would see $2,500 in annual savings as far as the eye could see. So I have taken the latest year-by-year projections, divided by the projected U.S. population to determine the added amount per person and multiplied the result by 4.
