Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg – “We Are Not Experiencing The Best of Times” – Video

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg spoke with BBCs Newsnight, and mentioned the Japanese American internment camps that happened in this country during her lifetime. She called that action “a dreadful mistake.” When asked if she saw similarities or “echoes” today when compared to the time of the internment camps, Ruth Ginsburg replied, “we are not experiencing the best of times.”

But, the 83-year-old jurist said the public’s resistance to the new administration — on full display at last month’s Women’s March protests — has given her “reason to hope that we will see a better day.”

“A great man once said that the true symbol of the United States is not the bald eagle; it is the pendulum, and when the pendulum swings too far in one direction, it will go back,” she told BBC.
