Ginsburg To Egyptians: I Wouldn't Use U.S. Constitution As A Model.....

And this person sits on the bench with the ultimate responsibility to defend the Constitution....

"I would not look to the U.S. Constitution, if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012," Ginsburg said in an interview on Al Hayat television last Wednesday. "I might look at the constitution of South Africa. That was a deliberate attempt to have a fundamental instrument of government that embraced basic human rights, have an independent judiciary. It really is, I think, a great piece of work that was done."
