Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says the US is "not experiencing the best of times" - but the "pendulum" will swing back. Speaking to BBC Newsnight in a rare interview, Justice Ginsburg reiterated the importance of the free press. "I read the Washington Post and the New York Times every day, and I think that the reporters are trying to tell the public the truth," she said. Justice Ginsburg was nominated by Bill Clinton and is regarded as a liberal. Think of what the press has done in the United States," she said citing the Watergate scandal. "That story...

<p>How are you? No, really, how are you?</p> <p>I’ve found myself thinking about you lately, and how things are going with you, and I just wanted you to know that I admire you very much and have some tokens of my esteem that you might enjoy.</p>

Tuesday evening, President Donald Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch for deceased Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's long-empty seat. On Wednesday morning, liberals woke up, did the math and realized it was time to be concerned about Ruth Bader Ginsburg's fiber intake. Also bone density. Also exposure to airborne viruses (Madame Justice, what is your flu shot status?), and salmonella, and slippery ice, and also: Has anyone heard how scientists are coming along with a Zika vaccine? "I'm very interested in this." says Jeanette Bavwidinski, a community organizer in Pennsylvania. "I'm interested in what her daily regimen is. Like, what are you...

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg hoped for a different outcome in last week’s election, but she made plain Monday that she accepts that Donald Trump will fill the Supreme Court’s 9-month-old vacancy. The 83-year-old justice said the most immediate impact on the court of Trump’s election would be to fill the seat that Justice Antonin Scalia occupied until his death in February. “President Trump will fill it,” Ginsburg said in a question-and-answer session at a meeting of the Jewish Federations of North America in a Washington ballroom. Ginsburg had criticized Trump in interviews last summer with The Associated Press and other...

A leading precious metals dealer, has shipped ten 1/10th oz 2016 American Gold Eagle Coins to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to ease her exit from the United States now that Donald J Trump has been elected President. The NY Times reported in July that Justice Ginsburg stated when asked about a Trump Presidency, “Now it’s time for us to move to New Zealand.”

Just days after ripping Colin Kaepernick for kneeling during the national anthem, Ruth Bader Ginsburg admitted that really didn't have any idea what Kaepernick's protest was about when she answered a question about the 49ers quarterback during an interview this week. The Supreme Court Justice released a statement on Friday saying that her comments were "inappropriate," and that she was "barely aware" of the circumstances surrounding Kaepernick's protest.

In Fiddler on the Roof, Tevye and Golde are portrayed as having five daughters. This is from the perspective of a 1960s family, which might commonly allow four children to be born in a family. But Jewish families would have commonly had more, possibly many more children than four or five, during the period portrayed by Fiddler, just after the turn of the twentieth century. In America, Jews were one of the target populations of "human weeds" of concern for Margaret Sanger's American Birth Control League, along with other southern and eastern European groups. How then does Justice Ruth Bader...

If we needed another reminder of why it matters who is elected president and who gets to pick the replacement for Justice Antonin Scalia is important, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg reminds us. In statements to CNN and the New York Times, Ginsburg called presumptive GOP presidential nominee a “faker” and warned of the danger of a Trump administration to SCOTUS and the country. As ABC News reported: "He is a faker," Ginsburg said of Trump on Monday on CNN. "He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego......

When is the First Amendment not the First Amendment? Apparently, when a liberal U.S. Supreme Court justice exercises it to voice alarm at the possibility that Donald Trump might become the next president.

The Code of Conduct for United States Judges, Cannon 5, states: "A Judge Should Refrain from Political Activity (A) General Prohibitions. A judge should not: . . . (2) make speeches for a political organization or candidate, or publicly endorse or oppose a candidate for public office . . . " Whether or not you agree with Justice Ginsburg's remarks about Donald Trump, Ginsburg's public opposition to Trump is a violation of Cannon 5. These rules need to apply to ALL judges and justices, or they are meaningless. I do not call for Ginsburg's impeachment or removal - merely a...

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.”

WHOLE TITLE: JUST IN: SCOTUS Justice Ginsburg on Trump comments: "My recent remarks...were ill-advised and I regret making them."

WASHINGTON — They call her “Notorious RBG” — and Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg lived up to that name this week by starting an epic battle with Donald Trump, in which she publicly denounced the presumptive GOP nominee in a rant that even fellow liberals have described as beneath a member of the High Court.

First Read is a morning briefing from Meet the Press and the NBC Political Unit on the day's most important political stories and why they matter. 2016 Race Hits Rock Bottom With Trump vs. Ginsburg Spat The state of our politics -- and especially discourse in this 2016 presidential race -- has hit rock bottom when a Supreme Court justice is trading insults with the Republican Party's presumptive presidential nominee. It all started when Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told the New York Times, "I can't imagine what the country would be with Donald Trump as our president." She then doubled...

Let me be the first to declare, that if this presidential election winds up before the Supreme Court, and I truly hope it does not (for many reasons, including those spelled out in my book Men In Black), Ruth Bader Ginsburg must recuse herself from any role whatsoever in any consideration of the case. Her repeated political comments about Donald Trump and the race the last few days clearly disqualify her. Indeed, if the constitutional system was working, she'd resign or be removed.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Republican presidential contender Donald Trump called on Wednesday for the resignation of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, describing her as mentally unfit after she lambasted him in a series of media interviews. "Justice Ginsburg of the U.S. Supreme Court has embarrassed all by making very dumb political statements about me," Trump said in a Twitter post. "Her mind is shot - resign!" The New York billionaire chided Ginsburg, 83, for criticizing him this week and expressing concern for the country's future if he is elected in November. Trump said it was inappropriate for Supreme Court...

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump fired back at Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg after she expressed fear over a Trump presidency in interviews. In a tweet, Trump called Ginsburg's public statements in recent days "dumb" and said "Her mind is shot - resign!" In interviews with the New York Times and Associated Press, Ginsburg took the unusual step for a justice of weighing in on a candidate in a presidential election year. "I can't imagine what this place would be — I can't imagine what the country would be — with Donald Trump as our president," Ginsburg told...

Justice Ginsburg of the U.S. Supreme Court has embarrassed all by making very dumb political statements about me. Her mind is shot - resign!

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."
