Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg offered her thoughts Thursday on how historians will view this period of American history.
"An aberration," the 86-year-old justice said when the question was posed to her at an event hosted by Amherst College, the Boston Globe reported.
The event's moderator, Amherst College President Carolyn Martin, asked several other political questions of Ginsburg, who sidestepped controversial topics like the impeachment inquiry into President Trump.
Instead, she spoke about broader aspects of political life in America today.
“The people in this room gives me hope," Ginsburg replied when Martin asked her what she thinks will fix the divisions in the U.S.
Ginsburg also said she believes that the protection of freedom of expression is going well.
When asked about the rising number of extreme political movements in the world, Ginsburg said it's a shifting political landscape.
“If it goes too far to the right, it will swing back,” she said. “I’m hoping to see it swing back in my lifetime.”

RBG et al must be totally swept away, gone.
They are an odious foot note on the history of America
If she is talking about the age of Roe v Wade, where supposedly normal adults murder their babies, I hope she is right.
Newspeak. "protection of freedom of expression" = beating the shit out of anyone who dares question liberal orthodoxy.
Let me know when it starts to the rigth Buzzie.
I’m still waiting for it to.swing back from the left.
This is a person who agrees with me about 5% of the time, and she’s trying to push forward a meme that frankly I’m not even interested in hearing let alone adopting.
I wish she would have the good grace to step down from the bench and enjoy life, but then that has never been the strong suit of a Leftist. A Leftist can’t enjoy life unless they are controlling, hurting, or destroying others.
They _ things up until their last dying breath.
Diseased Democrat scum..
I hope she is right and the era from Roe v. Wade until Trump finishes restoring Supreme Court respect for the Constitution of the United States will be remembered as an aberration.
Yes, I wonder what “era” she is talking about? We have swung only towards the left in the last 50 years or so. What the heck is she talking about? We haven’t swung far enough left to suit the radical Ginsburg????
And then she mistook an eraser for an ice cream sandwich and ate it.
I agree with RBG. This IS an aberration. And we desperately needed it.
“If it goes too far to the right, it will swing back,” she said. “I’m hoping to see it swing back in my lifetime.”
Too far right?
No such thing in this country, since we are so far left it would seem like the center is somewhere near Needles, CA....................
History will record this era as the first serious attempt of socialism to take control of the USA but which was turned back by the first strong conservative leader ever, DJT.
Well I can agree I hope we never have a hateful kenyan-born Muslim elected as president ever again that’s for sure.
Her time on the court has been an aberration!
Heaven forbid they call it the New Norm.
The dems are an aberration.
