Justice Ginsburg Regrets ‘Ill-Advised’ Remarks about Trump
Breitbart ^ | 14 Jul 2016 | Alex Swoyer

Posted on 07/14/2016 11:44:06 AM PDT by detective

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg — who was appointed to the court by President Bill Clinton — issued a statement on Thursday saying she regrets her “ill-advised” remarks about presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump. “On reflection, my recent remarks in response to press inquiries were ill-advised and I regret making them,” Ginsburg stated on Thursday. “Judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office. In the future I will be more circumspect.”

She did not apologize. She regrets having her tit caught in wringer.

Ill-advised? Who advised her?

Look at her voting record. She follows the left line each and every time. No thought given to anything...just left, left, left. Plus, she is obviously getting senile. How can she possibly be at the top of her game in respect to decision making skills?

It is time to put limits to the Supreme’s tenures. There should be a limit in time and age. There is just a point when it is due time to hang up that robe. Ginsburg is proving the point.

typical libturd mode of operation taught by the Clintons; do what benefits oneself to what ever extent and degree one can muster and then say and do what ever hurts anyone who disagrees with them and then lie and obfuscate when they get called on it.

NOW Ruth Buzzi-Bader Ginsburg regrets her words?

Should have left for New Zealand while she had a chance.

My BFF just did what she calls an “Irish Poem” on Ginsburg. She is very proud of it, and I have to admit it is pretty good:

Gin’s Burg???
An Irish Poem by Squeeky Fromm

There once was a Justice named Ruth,
Who spiked her Ensure with Vermouth!
Thus explaining the nerve,
Which expanded her oeuvre,
With those comments we find sooo uncouth!

Ginsburg is merely political. She does not care about the law, the constitution or the values that made America great.
She only cares about the leftist agenda.

100% agreed. I'm glad she said these things, and issued the lame non-apology. Unmasking herself publicly saves conservative America the continued frustration of trying to point out the obvious to the willfully blind.

Once again, Trump has proven an uncanny talent for getting the hypocrites and charlatans of both parties to unmask themselves, all on their own. It's like he transmits some sort of frequency, like an electronic rodent repellent. Normal, honest people aren't bothered by it, but the corrupt political class go berserk and start ripping off their facades and veneers and have no idea they're now standing there naked.

...”She must resign NOW.”...

Is impeachment not possible for someone like this? It is just so harmful to our system to have her come out and state her bias to the nation, although we all know what her biases are. Perhaps we need to lose our innocence and accept that Supreme Court Justices might qualify as radicals and it may be time not to appoint those people for life.

That’s no joke.

She’ll be as effective going forward as the latest national embarrassment, FBI Director Comey.

She’s done. She has zip left.

This ooops! behavior is inexcusable and suspicious on the part of a Supreme Court Justice in the middle of a partisan election where both her own Party Presidential Candidate and her Party's Attorney General have, in the last two weeks, put forth the same, "I wouldn't do it again," remarks.

Might Ginsburg, like Hillary, fit FBI Director Comey's description of "not sophisticated" enough to understand what most ordinary citizens understand, or is the "sophistication" level of these people on the role of technology in today's politics so advanced that they know full well what they're doing?

At the very least, these women are blemishing the reputations of the women they claim to represent--either as bumbling incompetents, or as deliberate mischief makers.

At the worst, they are simply reprehensible.

Let's imagine that they're really, truly "sophisticated" about technology--instead of being as dumb about it as they might appear.

Even school students have learned by now that anything they post to the Internet will remain there, and can be called up from the time they post it for a period of years. That is very different from earlier times, when statements might disappear from record.

The toothpaste, in their case, is out there, and if they understand that, then these little, "ooops" apologies are meaningless, because these "smartest" women in the Democrat Party have done their dirty work already--just as a neighborhood gossip used to do at the clothesline in her community.

Just asking. . . .

Her attempt to reinsert herself into any SC involvement in pres election. This will be cited when she refuses to recuse herself.

It is apparent that she is in advanced mental deterioration. She doesn’t know where she is or who she is. She regressed to her days of counsel at the ACLU with fellow communists. All I can say is GOOOOOOOOO Trump!!

I heard that this morning and thought the same thing. Very odd wording.

RBG was “ill-advised” which means those comments didn’t originate from her? Which means she is not making statements or opinions on her own accord? Which means she us not lucid enough to perform her job? Which means she is being propped up and spoon fed opinion?

Both the original state and this retraction are worrisome. If she is not mentally functioning than who is the puppet master?

"Ill-advised"?

Since she deals in the finer points of language, I would ask....exactly WHO advised her that her statements were OK?

an “Irish Poem”

Technically, it's called a limerick. But I guess "Irish poem" is ok...there is a town called Limerick in Ireland!
