Justice Ginsburg Slams Trump, Draws Fire From…Liberals?
http://unfilteredpatriot.com/justice-ginsburg-slams-trump-draws-fire-from-liberals/Other than the late Antonin Scalia, no Supreme Court Justice has been more eager to comment on American politics than Ruth Bader Ginsburg. But when Ginsburg took shots at Republican nominee Donald Trump this week, many critics – mostly liberals and anti-Trump conservatives – said she crossed a line.
“I can’t imagine what this place would be – I can’t imagine what the country would be – with Donald Trump as our president,” Ginsburg said in an interview with the New York Times. “For the country, it could be four years. For the court, it could be…I don’t even want to contemplate that.”
To leave no doubt about where she stood, she recalled what her late husband used to say when disagreeing with political developments: “Now it’s time for us to move to New Zealand.”
In a separate interview with the Associated Press, Ginsburg slyly alluded to her e*******l predictions.
“It’s likely that the next president – whoever she will be – will have a few [Supreme Court] appointments to make,” she said....
In a Chicago Tribune editorial, the paper – fiercely anti-Trump from the beginning – accused Ginsburg of tarnishing the court.
“For justices to descend into partisan e******n campaigns would undermine public faith in their willingness to assess each case strictly on its legal merits,” they wrote. “It would also encourage justices to let their political biases affect, if not determine, their decisions.”
Uh-huh. See what’s going on yet?
We should welcome Ginsburg’s comments. They chip away at a very dangerous myth – that Supreme Court justices are apolitical, unbiased arbiters of t***h. We should not encourage the American people to have “faith” in an idea that is completely fictional. Ginsburg’s political beliefs don’t change based on whether or not she blabs about them to the New York Times. Isn’t it better to know than to pretend that these justices are using “strictly legal merits” to govern their rulings? Who, at this point in time, can still believe that anyway?....
