Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says she doesn't want to think about the possibility of Donald Trump winning the White House, and she predicts the next president — "whoever she will be" — will have a few appointments to make to the Supreme Court.
In an interview Thursday in her court office, the 83-year-old justice and leader of the court's liberal wing said she presumes Democrat Hillary Clinton will be the next president. Asked what if Republican Donald Trump won instead, she said, "I don't want to think about that possibility, but if it should be, then everything is up for grabs."
That includes the future of the high court itself, on which she is the oldest justice. Two justices, Anthony Kennedy and Stephen Breyer, are in their late 70s.
"It's likely that the next president, whoever she will be, will have a few appointments to make," Ginsburg said, smiling....

Ross Perot voters in 1992 helped to make her a justice.
She should just recuse her self period. What she said I can’t believe it, I have never heard a SC Justice weigh in on an election.
Hey 2nd div, I hope all is ok up that way. Thankfully we are rural enough to be away from Houston.
It’s gonna be a crazy summer.
I envision her peacefully expiring in her sleep the night of Trump’s inauguration.
Another great reason to vote for Trump!
Political hacks on the Supreme Court need to go. We desperately need the entire judicial branch to return to the rule of law, instead of legislating and ruling based on personal biases and political opinions. Ginsburg should be near the very front of the line. Anyone can call her vote before the case is even heard.
I wish he had won instead of G.H.W.B.
Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything. Joseph Stalin
She doesn’t want to be outnumbered like the conservatives have been for years. It makes me want Trump to win even more.
But, Ruthy, what if Donald self identifies as a black female lesbian? That would fit in your twisted world.
Probably the most important reason.
She just needs to retire. She looks like she’s propped up on her chair whenever I see her pic......pitiful.
I won’t miss the goatess when her case is closed.
Take your vitamins Ruth you will have to make it another 8 years
Is she still alive?
Summer blockbuster movie staring Ginsburg, Weekend at Ruthies.
BUZZZZZ!!! Sorry. WRONG narrative.
GH NWO Bush clearly sandbagged that campaign and HANDED it to Bubba Clinton.
Can you explain why and how Poppy totally ignored a bunch of scandals that should have buried Clinton (that is IF Poppy were serious about winning?)
While you're making sense out of NWO Poppy's lackluster Valium-inspired campaign that gift-wrapped the Presidency to the known criminal-rapist Bubba, how do you also explain his referring to Billy-Bob as a "son" 20 years later?
There even more important short term reasons. If Trump doesn't reverse our slide into hell, it won't matter who our supremes are.
Despicable. They’re finding new lows and are taunting us with them.
