Ruth Bader Ginsburg: ‘I can’t imagine what the country would be’ under President Trump
Yahoo News ^ | July 11, 2016 | Colin Campbell

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg recently offered a surprisingly blunt assessment of Donald Trump.

In an interview with the New York Times published Sunday, Ginsburg implied that the presumptive GOP nominee would do lasting harm to the Supreme Court if elected.

“I can’t imagine what this place would be — I can’t imagine what the country would be — with Donald Trump as our president,” she said. “For the country, it could be four years. For the court, it could be — I don’t even want to contemplate that.”

The left-leaning jurist also joked that if Trump were elected, it would be time for her “to move to New Zealand.”

Judges are not supposed to express political opinions to influence an election. Every state prohibits this. Heck, a local city court judge can’t even put a candidate’s sign in his yard.

But as for the statement, that she can’t imagine an America with Trump as President, I would reply to her:

“You may not be able to imagine America with Donald Trump as President, but I can imagine an America with Hillary Clinton as President. And that alone is reason to vote Trump.”

Ginsberg: "I don’t even want to contemplate that"

The socialist/communist Justice obviously can't bear to see 0's socialist/communist/tyrannous dystopia come to an end.

She needs to be removed. She is mentally incapable of sound and objective judgment.

“Why do they never say “Mexico?”

Because you just can’t move to Mexico, they have very strict immigration laws.

Even doctrinaire liberal Thurgood Marshall had more dignity than this political hack Ginsburg when he gave his press conference after he retired from the court.

One can only dream of electing Donald Trump as president, then when the time comes, he can name Ginsberg’s replacement!

I hope he wins, so she loses her majority on the court! I also wish she would move to New Zealand!

be impeached for your many crimes on the bench.

Impeachment is fun.

Conviction is impossible. (getting 13 Dems to agree)

“The left-leaning jurist”

HA! That’s a laugh. She leans so far left that she is lying on her side.

Remember Hillary Clinton is the reason she’s on the Supreme Court. She owes her.

I can imagine how much of our country will be sold for Clinton Crime Family profits if Hillary is the next president. RBG probably can imagine that also but doesn’t care.

That should DISQUALIFY that incompetent bigoted bitch from EVER hearing a case under a Trump Administration

Worst “Justice” in US History

If she did, there would be a lot of political pressure put on the Senate RINOs to confirm a far left Obama appointee “just to be fair”.

Yup. Watch her step down about four weeks before the general election.
