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.

Enough with the Trump is Hitler already.
She can run her mouth all she wants when she retires.
Ruth Ginsburg was out of place - a judge must be impartial, non-political and above perception of bias.
Her remarks were completely inappropriate.
Never would be a good start!
“When is the First Amendment not the First Amendment? “
When you’re a Supreme Court Justice and are supposed to be impartial.
Ah the ‘spectre’! Hidden in the shadows of 1933 Germany. Lame.
“I see in Ginsburg a brilliant jurist who, as an American Jew born in 1933, saw what happens when good people don’t question the rise of a bigoted, authoritarian mindset.”...Says the authoritarian bigots!
How about after her impeachment from the bench?
How about “never”? Or is there some far more complex answer we should be struggling with?
This assumes some level of fairness, ethics or personal responsibility - something that seems to be lacking in the current democrat mindset...
By her comments she just announced that she is biased against Trump in any lawsuit that comes up to the SC. Not that we already didn’t know she was biased.
If Ginsberg is so against the millions of voters who support Donald Trump, perhaps she should run for President herself or be picked up by the Hillary group as VP.
Does she have 1st Amendment rights? Sure she does. She also has the corresponding obligation to recuse herself in cases where she has previously revealed her bias in public.
Ginsberg is a prime example of why judges should be term limited or allowed to be dismissed by voter referendum.
She is worse then Hitler...she should resign...she can no longer judge anything...objectively!!! Talk about Nazi & Facist lunatics....she belongs right in there with them!!! What a low life witch. She and Hillary Clinton.....fine examples of human vermin...right along with Kenyan, Barack Hussein Obama!!!
I support Ginsburgh’s right to speak. I hope she should continue to do so. That’s why even the NY Times want her to shut up. They don’t want people to realize how partisan Ginsburgh is. It’s much better for Conservatives to show the world why the liberal Justices vote consistently the same way all the time. So much for the impartiality of justice!
she is free to express whatever views she likes, as long as she is prepared to recuse herself from ruling on any matters about which she has expressed an opinion.
now we all know she wont recuse herself, so in this case the answer is never.
The SacBee is so predictable. What if Clarence Thomas had denounced Hillary in similar terms?
She’s a U.S. Supreme Court Justice. If she wants to speak out about a candidate for president, good or bad, resign the position and join the rally/protest marches, otherwise do your job and speak only on legal topics in an official capacity.
Just because she is Jewish and born in pre-war America doesn’t entitle her to the ‘Holocaust badge’ when giving/taking special license to complain, IMO.
She is a rabid liberal appointed by a scoundrel President. She is senile, IMO.
“when good people don’t question the rise of a bigoted, authoritarian mindset.”
You mean like the dictator in chief we now have?
