Dear RGB:
You don't have to be a lawyer to recognize a bunch of crap when you see it.

“Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg hits back”
Do we know if she is in control of her body functions much less able to “hit” anything?

I thought impeachment was not a legal process, but a political one.

She may have rebuked him, but I’ll guarantee, she didn’t “shut down” President Trump.

The President is not required to be a lawyer. Nor is a Senator. Nor is a Supreme Court justice.
To: Stravinsky
The fool of a judge may have to recuse herself.
Keep it up....

Here is what our Lord Jesus had to say about lawyers:
But He said, Woe to you lawyers as well! For you weigh men down with burdens hard to bear, while you yourselves will not even touch the burdens with one of your fingers. (Luke 11:46) Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge; you yourselves did not enter, and you hindered those who were entering. (Luke 11:52)
Funny, I can't find any references to businessmen.

'The president is not a lawyer'Ginsburg is not an originalist "justice".
Trump understands the principles found in the Constitution whilst you, RBG, don't.
