Noted American war hero Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is getting a US Navy ship named after her. Which is fitting since the Navy doesn’t protect American rights and neither did Ginsburg when she was alive.
It was Ginsburg’s opinion in Doe v. Sullivan, a 1991 D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals decision, that determined the DoD could use “unapproved, investigational drugs on military personnel, in certain combat-related situations, without obtaining the service member’s informed consent.”
What could possibly go wrong?
The USS Ruth Bader Ginsburg is part of the John Lewis Class of ships which are all named after “civil rights icons” (i.e., liberals). Ironic, considering these ships are all oil tankers helping to fill the environement with “greenhouse gases”. The Devil has a sense of humor, it seems.
The USS Notorious RBG will carry on the sterling legacy of the John Lewis Class of warships like the USS Harvey Milk named after a known pederast. The Post-Millenial notes that Harvey Milk, the San Francisco supervisor who was gunned down in a political dispute, carried on a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old runaway, Jack Galen McKinley when he was 33.
McKinley later committed suicide.
Sexual indiscretions are nothing new to America’s civil rights heroes, of course.
Speaking of anti-racist heroes we may wonder if the USS RBG will have any Blacks as commanding officers. Ginsburg herself hired 160 law clerks in her tenure, only one of whom was Black.

Civil Rights icon, indeed!
