This case, unlike other more mundane cases involving Trump policies that may come before the court, clearly places Donald Trump’s words, personality and credibility in issue.
One of the Justices already has expressed a view on Trump’s credibility. In July 2016, Justice Ruth Bader Ginbsburg was quoted in a CNN interview deriding Trump as “a faker”....
Justice Ginsburg made two other negative public statements about Trump during the campaign...
Justice Ginsburg’s negative comments about Trump, though less direct, continued after inauguration....
In a case in which Trump’s campaign comments are front and center, how can Ginsburg hear a case in which she has complained publicly about Trump and Trump’s campaign?
This is not a situation where a Justice merely is presumed to have political leanings (don’t they all?), or is affiliated with one political party more than another. Justice Ginsburg has publicly questioned Trump’s credibility, and that credibility is an issue in the case as it presents itself in the 4th Circuit decision from which review is sought.
Justice Ginsburg cannot be removed from the case. The judicial code cited by the Washington Post editorial doesn’t apply to Supreme Court Justices. She would have to recuse herself voluntarily.

I wouldn’t want to be the one to tell her. I’ve seen how
she uses that purse for a weapon.
YEAH
WHERE’S THE OUTRAGE?
WHERE ARE THE CALLS FOR HER TO RECUSE?
COME ON, PEOPLE, CALL THIS BIASED BITCH OUT
