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.

Hillary is an America-hating, lying piece of sh*t. I’ll take Trump over the Hildebeast ANY day of the week. Trump on his worst day is better than Shillary is on her best day.

She is being totally unprofessional with all this...

Any decision she makes after Trump is elected can be challenged because of bias....

Politicians in black robes.

The SCOTUS needs to be disbanded. Completely politicized.

I read that her husband said this to her in an article in the past week. When did he die?

. . . heading towards the shoals of impeachment

You mean the Democrats might impeach her? The Republicans are more likely to give her a medal.

Am I the only one who hopes she lives long enough for Trump to appoint her replacement?

The comment is aimed directly at this ancient, addle-brained twit. Why couldn’t she be a good little cancer patient and die before now? This b*tch should have kicked off long before now. Additionally, should Donald J Trump win in November, would it be in poor taste to send Sotomayor 25 pounds of high-grade chocolate and 10 pounds of spun sugar candy?

And recall the heat Alito took for simply mouthing “not true” at the SOTU speech a few years ago.

Leftys with gold level healthcare tend to go on forever (Soros, Castro bros, Carter, etc).

Even pickled liver Teddy Kennedy made it to 77.

Now that Scalia is out of the way, with a Clinton presidency, Ginsburg has the opportunity of retiring; knowing that the Supreme Court will be stacked with Lefties out of the same cloth as her.

One of the earmarks of the Left is they are stupid and lazy. They are not smart enough to hide their motivations. Collectivism is a lazy man’s place at the trough.

You’re right. He said maybe now is the time to move to NZ. Don’t know what he said it about. Weirdly worded article now that I reread it.

Yes, you are very right about the politics. The true SCOTUS would be totally apolitical and ONLY concerned about the written law and the neutral handling of the cases that come before it. The bias that exists there makes the SCOTUS almost useless and very dangerous to the values and position of America.

Something does need to be done.
