Faculty OKs Ginsburg nomination
Justice's abortion views trouble KU professors
By David Stewart Special to the Kansan
President Bill Clinton's choice of Judge Ruth Ginsburg for the Supreme Court justice nomination has been met by KU professors with both approval and expectations of an easy confirmation.
While those interviewed said Ginsburg's stance on the abortion issue would undoubtedly come up during confirmation hearings, most anticipated few problems for Ginsburg's arrival at the High Court. Ginsburg's moderate judicial philosophy and centrist tendencies make her different from past candidates.
"She's not too right or too left," said Barbara Ballard, state representative, D-Lawrence, and director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center. "I think she's an excellent choice all-around."
Ballard praised Ginsburg for having experienced firsthand the effects of discrimination.
Though the nominee graduated first in her class from Columbia Law School, Ginsburg could not find work with any New York City law firms.
"They all thought women would leave to marry and have babies," Ginsburg said in a New York Times article
Ballard said such discrimination would help make Ginsburg more sensitive to the needs of women.
"I believe she truly understands the issues of women's equality and justice," Ballard said. "She had enough fortitude, enough strength and enough belief in her ability to persevere."
"The ACLU has a long-standing reputation as a supporter for individual rights," Weick said. "Her position seems to be a socially enlightened one in which she'll consider the needs of the oppressed people in this country."
"The fact that she served in the ACU is usually a red flag for a liberal." Gottleb said. "What strikes me about her is the amount of support she has from both the left and right."
David Gottlieb, professor of law, said he had worked briefly with Ginsburg at the national ACLU office in New York and had followed her progress since then.
He described her judicial work as showing quality and moderation.
Ann Weick, dean of the School of Social Welfare, agreed that Ginsburg would remain sensitive to the effects of discrimination, especially because of her work with the American Civil Liberties Union, where she founded the Women's Rights Project.
"Even if she isn't somebody who is on your side, she would listen to your views," he said.
As only the second woman nominated for the Supreme Court, Ginsburg has received support from women's groups around the country, many of which praise Ginsburg's pioneer work in women's rights.
But some pro-choice advocates such as Alice Lieberman, assistant social welfare professor and adviser to the KU Pro-Choice Coalition, have concerns about Ginsburg's views on Roe vs. Wade, the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision making abortion a constitutional right.
"The piece that butthers me is that she felt the decision had been very divisive to the country." Lieberman said in reference to Ginsburg's view that Roe vs. Wade had divided the country by getting rid of all existing abortion laws.
Joe Reitz, business professor and adviser for Students for Life, said Ginsburg was pro-choice despite such protests from pro-choice groups. Even so, she appeared to take the law and precedent seriously, he said.
"I think she has to be treated like a man on this one," Lieberman said. "It's important for me not just that she's pro-choice, but whether she intends on leaving Roe vs. Wade as it is."
"What this translates to for a specific judge and a specific case is hard to predict," Reitz said.
BRIEF
Former first lady Pat Nixon dies of lung cancer at 81
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Pat Nixon, the uncompaining silent partner in Richard Nixon's lifetime of political triumph and disgrace, died of lung cancer at 5:45 a.m. yesterday at the couple's home in Park Ridge, N.J. (Shearer 8).
Mrs. Nixon had not been well for many years. A major stroke in 1976 left her with a paralyzed left side. That stroke — there was a murder one in 1983 — began a series of illnesses.
The former president and their daughters, Tricia Nixon CoxandJule Nixon Eisenhower, were with the former first lady when she died. The Nixons' 53rd wedding anniversary was Monday.
She was hospitalized repeatedly for asthmatic bronchitis, bronchial pneumonia and lung infections. She underwent surgery in 1987 to remove a small cancerous tumor from her mouth. She also suffered from emphysema.
The funeral will be Saturday at the former president's library in Yorba Linda, Calif., and Senate Republican leader Bob Dole will deliver the eulogy.

TEACHERS ARE BETTER THAN TAPES
Some test prep services seem to have an almost fanatical fondness for audio tapes. If you miss a class, they hand you a tape. Need extra help? More tapes! Heck, they even train their teachers with the darn things.
At The Princeton Review, we believe that teachers are better than tapes. A well-trained teacher will answer your questions, focus on your problem areas, and even smile on occasion. That's why our students receive FREE Extra-Help. With their teachers...not tapes. And that's why our students get the highest score improvements.
Classes are starting soon.
