| 2016-07-14 |
| [Wash Times] WASHINGTON (AP) -- Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says she regrets her "ill-advised" public criticism of Donald Trump. Ginsburg says in a statement issued by the court on Thursday that judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office. She promises to be more circumspect in the future. Ginsburg told The Associated Press last week that she did not want to think about the prospect of Trump winning the presidency. She escalated her criticism in subsequent media interviews. She herself came under attack for her comments in recent days, leading to Thursday’s statement. |

| #4 Yup; like a goofy toddler repeatedly sticking her finger in an electrical outlet, then blaming the outlet for blisters on her finger. And she was the one who took the child safety off of the outlet. |

| #3 This seemed like a sorry/not sorry apology to me. Besides, the damage is already done. |

| #2 Ill advised? Is she saying somebody, like an interviewer, suggested she broach the subject, and our illustrious Supreme Court Judge did not have the wherewithal to dismiss and/or reject the suggestion? Is she that mentally pliable, or just dishonest? Earlier this week I agreed with Assad, now I think Trump threw a triple-20 first throw...too early for a red-beer? *Actually, her comments were so foul, she would have been called for traveling in the WNBA. Certain stations in life have an obligation to not flap their drink holes, and I think that has a lot to do with the NYTs editorial the other day, where if something to do with the election ends up in the Supreme Court she must recluse herself and that knocks out a shoe in vote for The Clinton Foundation. |
