| Ginsburg Jokes She Could Move To New Zealand If Trump Is Elected President |
| 2016-07-11 |
| [Huffpoo] If Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump wins the election, he might have to fill more than just Antonin Scalia's seat on the Supreme Court. In an interview with The New York Times, Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg shared her concerns about a Trump presidency: "I can't imagine what this place would be ― I can't imagine what the country would be ― with Donald Trump as our president. For the country, it could be four years. For the court, it could be ― I don't even want to contemplate that." Then, she added that her late husband would have joked, "Now it's time for us to move to New Zealand." |

| #11 And somehow she and Scalia were friends. Maybe they both were able to partition politics and judicial philosophy from the rest of their lives. If so that's an admirable--even conservative--trait. Too many people make their politics the central theme of every part of their lives; most of the ones I know being hard leftists for whom government is god and deviation is heresy. |

| #5 She can't imagine an America with Trump, but a hardcore socialist with less than 1 term in the Senate, no job history and a Muslim education is just peachy keen. Well played, Ginsberg. Well played. |
