Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s Unhinged Assault on Trump
12th July 2016
No wonder they call her Notorious RBG. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has just declared war against Donald Trump, announcing that if he is elected president, she’d consider moving to New Zealand.
It would be a good place for her. I haven’t done a double-blind study, but it’s hard to recall — or find on the web — an instance of another Supreme Court justice diving into politics quite the way Ginsburg has just done.
Ginsburg’s comment came in an interview with the New York Times’ Supreme Court scribe, Adam Liptak. He was so astounded that he warned his readers before he reported her comments that normally justices “diligently avoid political topics.”
‘Progressive’ judges, of course, feel no urge to counterfeit an appearance of impartiality.
On the other hand, we ought to encourage her to move to New Zealand in any event — it would free up a Supreme Court slot for an actual impartial judge.

So if The Donald does prosecute Hillary and somehow the case advances to the SC, will Ginsburg bow out?
How bout every case The Trumpster administration takes that high? This is a big blunder by a usually shrewd Lib justice.
