Ginsberg
No Moderate!
To the Editor:
The picture the popular media! paints of Supreme Court nominee** Ruth Bader Ginsberg is that of a£ “moderate” candidate.
The information contained in a! profile in the National Law Journal reveals that she is no moderate atf all. Professor A.E. Dick Howard or* the University of Virginia said inS that article that liberals will find she! is committed to the essential prin-J ciples they support on the issues of* abortion, affirmative action ancC church-state relationships. •
That opinion is perfectly consis-JJ tent with her background as a for-Jjj mer general counsel for the* American Civil Liberties Union-thaS ACLU. She held the ACLU jot! from 1969 to, 1980 when she was ajgJ pinted by President Carter to Judgeship on the District of Column bia circuit.
As a D.C. circuit court judge shS! voted to allow pro-abortion activists1 the ability to dictate that funds giveh by the Agency for International Development to other nation! be used for abortion planning ip those other nations.
As for adhering to the United States Constitution, in an article she wrote for the Washington University Law Quarterly, she said thsf “boldly dynamic interpretation, departing radically from the original understanding” is needed to a<$complish certain results she perceives to be politically desirable. •
This is the level of judicial legi»lation that can be expected of her iji the event she is confirmed.
