In a 2012 interview on Al Hayat, Ginsburg stated that she would not look to the U.S. Constitution if she were drafting a constitution in the year 2012. "I might look at the constitution of South Africa. That was a deliberate attempt to have a fundamental instrument of government that embraced basic human rights, have an independent judiciary. It really is, I think, a great piece of work that was done."<ref>[http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/02/06/ginsburg-to-egyptians-wouldnt-use-us-constitution-as-model.html Ginsburg to Egyptians: I wouldn't use U.S. Constitution as a model], [[Fox News]]</ref>
