Project 21’s Mychal “Bull Connor” Massie falsely smears Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in a Nov. 1 WorldNetDaily column, claiming that “had argued there is a constitutional right to prostitution and polygamy” and “has argued the age of sexual consent should be lowered to 12.”
In fact, Ginsburg never endorsed legalizing prostitution and said only that it could “arguably” be legalized, which was raised during her 1993 confirmation hearing and which then-Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Orrin Hatch clearly understood as an “academic point.”
Also, Ginsburg has never “argued the age of sexual consent should be lowered to 12”; her comment was in regard to a child-rape law in which she never spoke to the age aspect but approved the fact that the law’s language was gender-neutral.
Sadly, we’re used to false smears emanating from Massie.
