Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg yaps on, calls Trump a 'faker'
2016-07-13
(CNN) Washington: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's well-known candor was on display in her chambers late Monday, when she declined to retreat from her earlier criticism of Donald Trump and even elaborated on it.
Yes, I got a whiff of it as well. I think it's desperation.
"He is a faker," she said of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, going point by point, as if presenting a legal brief. "He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. ... How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that."
"Consistency"...Ag! Someone jot that down for her Dayan Emet.
Ginsburg's comments came in a previously scheduled interview related to my research for a book on Chief Justice John Roberts. I took a detour to raise the reverberations from her criticism of Trump to The Associated Press and The New York Times in recent interviews. "I can't imagine what this place would be -- I can't imagine what the country would be -- with Donald Trump as our president," she had said in the Times interview published Monday.

#8  Loretta Lynch is owed a favor and is only 57 y/o. Posted by Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

Excellent point! Not to mention these lazy, memory challenged wankers in the Congress would no doubt unanimously approve her appointment, just like they did for her AG posting.

#7  OTOH, "NY Times: Trump 'right' about Ginsburg's comments" - keeping this whack around until January would not be a bad idea.

Appointing a younger ideologue to the seat would continue a listing to the left for another generation.

Loretta Lynch is owed a favor and is only 57 y/o.

#6  "How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that."

Someone should tell this crone and her 50 cats that turning over tax returns are not required, merely a new "tradition." Sort of like college transcripts. Oh, never mind....

#5  Lost it?
She never had it.

She has always been a HORRIBLE Justice. Always.

T-Rump should find a replacement for this dingbat. She is loopy as hell

#4  He really has an ego.
Classic example of the psych phenomenon called "projection".

#2  Proving the judiciary is completely compromised and should be subject as anyone else exercising power to be directly accountable to the people. Long terms, but never for 'life'.

#1  As expected, Chief Justice Roberts remains silent in the face of obvious inappropriate political comments by Ginsburg.
