WASHINGTON (AP) Donald Trump called Wednesday for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to resign for saying publicly that she feels he is unfit to be president. Lashing out, Trump said the 83-year-old justice's "mind is shot."
"Justice Ginsburg of the U.S. Supreme Court has embarrassed all by making very dumb political statements about me," the presumptive Republican presidential nominee wrote in an early morning tweet on @realDonaldTrump. "Her mind is shot resign!"
Ginsburg said in an interview with The Associated Press last week that she didn't want to think about the possibility that Trump would be president and predicted that Democrat Hillary Clinton will win and have a few appointments to make to the Supreme Court.
It is highly unusual for a sitting justice to weigh in so publicly on a political campaign, though Ginsburg is known for speaking her mind on other issues and is celebrated as a liberal icon known to fans as Notorious RBG.

Trump is correct; there are rules about how the Supremes can talk about political campaigns and elections.
Impeachment.
Did the Supreme Court just accidentally rule in favor of Trump's claim of lower court judge bias? https://t.co/vCNVM6ziMM— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) July 13, 2016
It would be a problem if the election ended up in the Supreme Court.
Ruth Buzzie Ginsberg’s miind is shot...but it was never very good to begin with.
Absolutely. As we know from GWB/Gore, a presidential election can end up with the Supreme Court. How can anyone with bias such as Ginsburg's be a judge at any level?
Politico: Ginsburg: I wasn't '100 percent sober' at SOTU
.@realDonaldTrump Sleepy Ruth is often confused, her clerks do all the work for her, she forgets names. Sad! pic.twitter.com/a2XY42tQ9u— Mike Cernovich (@Cernovich) July 13, 2016
Somehow the MSM will turn this into a “Trump is an anti-semite” story.
Trump “lashes out”. Ginsberg “speaks her mind”. And the press wonders why we think they are biased.

Boo-bait for bubbas Donald. Don’t let the ancient hag drag you into the weeds.
Trump already made his point that it was inappropriate for a SC justice to comment on elections. He should leave it at that and not get sucked into these low level tit-for-tat petty squabbles.
She’s going off the rails on a crazy train!!! I wish she had a radio show I could quit listening to.
The court is completely Catholic and Jewish
5/3
And I think Sottimayor is part Jewish
It’s ridiculous
The club
Can’t they find a Southern Baptist or Church of Christ or Charismatic to sit on the bench
All tony northeastern school parchment Mafia
That pretty much describes it; “Her mind is shot!”
This is how normal Americans talk to themselves. This is another example of why Trump connects so well.
THIS is a WINNER for Trump. He should pick this scab(Ginsburg) till it bleeds.
An INDEPENDENT Judiciary loses ALL trust and credibility when they speak in such a partisan hack fashion.
I’d have called her a dizzy old bat which fits like a tee.
I kind of like the Supreme Court dropping its pretense of credibility. At least it's honest. https://t.co/w5EUdkmk4n— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) July 12, 2016
Or you know, even an uptight upper Northeast Anglican?!
I mean we did start the damn country after all...Little Things like that
Typical AP headline jujitsu. When a Lib does something completely outrageous, make the headline about the Republican reaction as if this is just a political spat. The headline should be that Ginsburg did something truly outrageous that undermined the integrity of the Supreme Court
