Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg intensifies criticism of Trump: 'He is a faker'
CNN Politics ^ | July 12, 2016 | Joan Biskupic

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's well-known candor was on display in her chambers late Monday, when she declined to retreat from her earlier criticism of Donald Trump and even elaborated on it.

"He is a faker," she said of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, going point by point, as if presenting a legal brief. "He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. ... How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that."

Ginsburg's comments came in a previously scheduled interview related to my research for a book on Chief Justice John Roberts. I took a detour to raise the reverberations from her criticism of Trump to The Associated Press and New York Times in recent interviews. "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 had said in the Times interview published Monday.

This old radical leftist is just freaking out at the idea of Trump actually being able to recommend SCOTUS candidates that are not a bunch of pandering, owned radical leftists like herself.

Good. She is in deep recusal waters, heading towards the shoals of impeachment. Good stuff. Must be getting addled.

The Left is becoming unhinged lately. This is a good sign. They realize they’re losing the war and they’re going nuts because of it. It’s a war they could never win because what they want goes against the natural law, the laws of man, and the laws of God.

Imagine the firestorm if a Republican appointee made similar comments about Obama in 2008 or 2012. So much for the concept that Supreme Court Justices are impartial, apolitical arbiters of the Constitution. If she wanted to make law and policy she should have sought political office. She is a disgrace and should reign. However in the tradition of the shameless Left, she won’t .

God Almighty played a cruel joke on our country, taking Antonin Scalia instead of this hateful commie b!tch.

And the witch is blemish-free?

Her criticisms of Trump betray a junior high junior mentality.

And this woman sits on the Supreme Court.

She also joked with her husband that if Trump wins they will have to move to New Zealand.

Why don’t these people ever want to go to Mexico or even South Africa?

Those are the two countries they want America to be more like, whereas New Zealand is like America used to be.
