One thing I like about Ruth, she does understand the law and a person's rights.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Calls Colin Kaepernick’s National Anthem Protest ‘Dumb’
By CHRISTINE HAUSEROCT. 11, 2016


When asked by the news site’s global anchor, Katie Couric, what she thought of the protest, Justice Ginsburg said: “I think it’s really dumb of them. Would I arrest them for doing it? No. I think it’s dumb and disrespectful.”

“I would have the same answer if you asked me about flag-burning. I think it’s a terrible thing to do,” she added. “But I wouldn’t lock a person up for doing it. I would point out how ridiculous it seems to me to do such an act.”

“It’s dangerous to arrest people for conduct that doesn’t jeopardize the health or well-being of other people. It is a symbol they are engaged in,” she said.

Asked whether she meant it was their right to protest, Justice Ginsburg agreed.

As Thoreau wrote, “The question is not what you look at, but what you see.”
