Hmmm??? Justice Ginsberg... a few questions:

1. Who would have the authority to disqualify them?
2. Could that theoretically include all 100 of them?
3. Could “impartial” be defined like “is” was in the Clinton impeachment?

File under “Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda.”

Nope. You have no role here girly.

Don’t get to claim the Court needs to stay out of it because it is a “political process” and then try to interfere because you don’t like how the process is going.

Disqualified by whom?

That's an interesting question. The constitution doesn't suggest a voir dire process exists for what senators can vote on articles of impeachment.

Well, Biden’s already disqualified because he hasn’t been a Senator for over 10 years :)

I’m sure RBG would be happy to chair an objective special judicial committee, as master, to insure a just evaluation of bias. /S

What about the Chief Justice (who must preside at the Senate Impeachment trial) ... Roberts, the CJ, heads up the FISA court. This makes him a “fact witness” if FISA is brought up (and surely it will be) ... a judge cannot be a judge and a witness at the same time. The Constitution says the CHIEF JUSTICE must preside. If Roberts has to testify, then he has to give up the Chief Justice title to another member of the supreme court who would then preside. Roberts loses CJ. (hmmmm?)

And wears a doily around her neck with her black robe.

I don’t think she will ever die. Her batteries just run out from time-to-time.

Maybe something will happen next term.

RBG should remain silent on things about which she has no knowledge, which includes The Constitution and its provisions.

"Disqualified by whom?

If she is telegraphing that the chief justice will do this, I truly believe these folk have no idea how thin the people's patience has been worn by this entire process.

“Is this the same cadaver who has repeatedly said she hates President Trump?”

Why, yes, it is.

As to her point, she’s wrong. Go ahead and disqualify a Senator and see what happens.

This coming from a Trump hating judge? Why doesn’t this apply to the Dem Congress who wanted to impeach him before he took the oath?
