Very good. The real nail in the coffin seems to come from Slate itself.
>Did Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg ever condone pedophilia? I argued in a Sept. 16 Chatterbox (“Lindsey Graham’s Smear“) that she did not. Eugene Volokh of UCLA Law School and Edward Whelan, president of the conservative Ethics and Public Policy Center, take issue with my case. They remain wrong, and I remain right.

In this booklet, an earlier version of which is available online, Ginsberg praised a proposed Senate bill that would have altered the federal law governing rape. Here’s the part of the booklet that got Sen. Lindsey Graham, R.-S.C., hot and bothered during the confirmation hearings for Chief Justice nominee John Roberts:

>>18 U.S.C. §2032 — Eliminate the phrase “carnal knowledge of any female, not his wife who has not attained the age of sixteen years” and substitute a Federal, sex-neutral definition of the offense patterned after S. 1400 §1633: A person is guilty of an offense if he engages in a sexual act with another person, not his spouse, and (1) compels the other person to participate: (A) by force or (B) by threatening or placing the other person in fear that any person will imminently be subjected to death, serious bodily injury, or kidnapping; (2) has substantially impaired the other person’s power to appraise or control the conduct by administering or employing a drug or intoxicant without the knowledge or against the will of such other person, or by other means; or (3) the other person is, in fact, less than 12 years old.

>Twelve years old? Lock up your daughters!

>Or rather, lock up your children. As the title of the booklet announced, its purpose was to propose ways that existing federal laws could be rewritten to render them gender-neutral. That is the part of S. 1400 §1633 that interested Ginsburg. Why she included the language that seems to put the age of consent at 12 is a bit of a mystery, because it wasn’t relevant to her point. But common sense dictates that if Ginsburg had really wanted to invite 12 year-olds to go all the way, she would have stated some reason. She didn’t. She didn’t discuss the age of consent at all.
Hmmm, if that really the best rebuttal...thats its a "mystery"...
I mean I know the 70s were a wild and crazy time but 12 is...just ridiculous. Even if yr both 12. Wow, crazy. Thanks for the new info!
Formatting about to drive me to wrap this tablet around a fucking metal bar in a second, time for sleep before I'm out 300 bucks...
