Quote by Ruth Bader Ginsburg
All respect for the office of the presidency aside, I assumed that the obvious and unadulterated decline of freedom and constitutional sovereignty, not to mention the efforts to curb the power of judicial review, spoke for itself.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the speaker's disregard for the position of the president, stating that regardless of the respect traditionally associated with the office, they believe that the erosion of freedom, constitutional sovereignty, and attempts to limit judicial power are clear and undeniable. The speaker implies that the actions and policies of the government are self-explanatory and no further explanation or argument is needed to recognize these perceived infringements on democratic principles.
