She was saying that the Court only does so much to protect civil liberties, and the people's elected representatives do much more to protect the rights of the people. So, if the people don't care, then "the security side is going to overweigh the other." This is a pretty obvious observation and one that recognizes the limits of the Court's power. There's nothing here to suggest that Ginsburg will vote one way or another in a particular case, which was not true with Scalia.

It's obvious from the quote above that Ginsburg doesn't like the Patriot act and that it's a safe bet she'll decide the Act is unconstitutional if she's ever given the chance.
