Ruth Bader Ginsburg: ‘I can’t imagine what the country would be’ under President Trump
Yahoo News ^ | July 11, 2016 | Colin Campbell

Posted on 07/11/2016 8:35:22 AM PDT by detective

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg recently offered a surprisingly blunt assessment of Donald Trump.

In an interview with the New York Times published Sunday, Ginsburg implied that the presumptive GOP nominee would do lasting harm to the Supreme Court if elected.

“I can’t imagine what this place would be — I can’t imagine what the country would be — with Donald Trump as our president,” she said. “For the country, it could be four years. For the court, it could be — I don’t even want to contemplate that.”

The left-leaning jurist also joked that if Trump were elected, it would be time for her “to move to New Zealand.”

I know. It sometimes is hard not to think of this country as one of the bad guys.

so fewer mohammedan terrorist attacks, and less illegal alien crime, disease, and parasitism, and a better economy, is so terrible that libtards have to leave the country. sheesh

Consider we end up counting hanging chads again. Ginsberg has stepped in it here. She would have to recuse herself after saying this. Of course, she wouldn’t. Ethics are for peons.

So resign now, Justice Ginsburg, hoping that Obozo can replace you. Ofc then we have to ensure that the nomination is held over for Pres. Trump, ha ha.

I’d be PERFECTLY HAPPY to take a second on my house to finance her one-way trip to New Zealand, so that Trump gets to name her replacement. She is a sickening person.

What ever happened to impartial judges?

You know an impartial judge like the Mexican-American judge overseeing Trump’s Trump University case!(SARC)

Fine. Leave. Go to North Korea. You'll probably like it there.

In 1965, America had a President who murdered his predecessor, who stole the election of 1960.

IOW, America had problems then. The real difference is that more Americans are awake today.

My favorite is when she said she was surprised that abortion was legalized on the grounds of women’s rights, rather than the need to kill more of those “kinds of people we really don’t want too many of.”

She can bet her wrinkled up old ass that things will be a lot different, and better for the county.

"Ruth Bader Ginsburg: ‘I can’t imagine what the country would be’ under President "

Remember ruth, when you could look in a mirror and it wouldn't shatter? Maybe the effect would be something like that.

From the article: The left-leaning jurist also joked that if Trump were elected, it would be time for her “to move to New Zealand.”

How fitting that she would admit that the Supreme Court has modified our Constitution to the extent that electing the wrong person to the Presidency could destroy the nation.

This is the future that our Founders feared.
