Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a noted critic of President Trump, suggested that she doesn't believe the country is in good hands but said she is hopeful about the future.
“We're not experiencing the best of times,” Ginsburg said Thursday on BBC's “Newsnight,” though she did not comment directly about the president.
But, the 83-year-old jurist said the public's resistance to the new administration — on full display at last month's Women's March protests — has given her “reason to hope that we will see a better day.”
“A great man once said that the true symbol of the United States is not the bald eagle; it is the pendulum, and when the pendulum swings too far in one direction, it will go back,” she told BBC.
“Some terrible things have happened in the United States, but one can only hope that we learn from those bad things,” she added, citing the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II as an example.

Ginsburg also defended the free press, the target of repeated attacks from the president, who has called the media “the enemy of the American People.” The justice said she reads both The Washington Post and the New York Times every day and believes that “reporters are trying to tell the public the way things are.”

AMEN...3 TIMES.
How did this idiot ever become a SC person?
She’s playing with a purple “Sharpie”.
My memory is not the best, but I think Egypt was looking to write a new constitution and Ginsberg stated that they shouldn’t use our Constitution as an example. Either way, for a person who sworn to support and defend the Constitution and more importantly, to interpret it, that is pitiful.
The eugenicist weighs in.
ROFL! The eugenicist is complaining about the internment of the Japanese! Is she not aware that was ordered by a Democrat?
To bad it didn’t eat out her vocal cords.
Another ‘nasty’ woman...
“Very unjudicial.”
Exactly! What a lot of nerve; a Supreme Court justice feels she must make her dislike for the president known, as often as she gets the chance. Isn’t it time for her to be put out to pasture??
Let’s see: pancreatic cancer + age 83 = a new USSC judge in a few months or even weeks.
Say what you will, Ruth - he’s very likely going to appoint your successor.......
rofl Ruthie dear, we are experiencing Yugely Awesome times!!
Glad that you are not enjoying it, isn’t it past time for you to retire???
And her elevation to the Supreme Court as another.
go back to sleep you old sow you... i'm LOVING IT!!!
>>>citing the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II as an example<<<
She does know FDR was a Democrat doesn’t she? Trump is a Republican, we rescue people from Government, we don’t enslave them.
I will never click on that story but I do ask some things.
Ruth, You tell me what is the “best of times” for the USA.
Ruth, You tell me what you disagree with in the US Constitution.
Ruth, You tell me what in the world that you actually see as just for the USA.
If you cannot do that then you are just a lying scumbag that deserves no quarter left or right.
In Rose Garden presser, he announced RBG, and Brit Hume, then of ABC, iirc, asked the Bent One quite nicely "Mr. POTUS, could you walk us through your thought process to select [RBG]?"
Clinton bit his lip, and stormed off.
So, HRC must have been tightening the vice to get him to choose such an anti-American, anti-common sense, anti-US Constitution ACLU lawyer.
One month in office. I’ll bet her standard of life hasn’t changed at all.
