'Resign!' Trump Fires Back at Justice Ginsburg
NBC ^ | 07/13/16 | Ali Vitali

Posted on 07/13/2016 5:47:57 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump fired back at Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg after she expressed fear over a Trump presidency in interviews.

In a tweet, Trump called Ginsburg's public statements in recent days "dumb" and said "Her mind is shot - resign!"

In interviews with the New York Times and Associated Press, Ginsburg took the unusual step for a justice of weighing in on a candidate in a presidential election year.

"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 told the Times in an interview posted online on Sunday.

"For the country, it could be four years. For the court, it could be — I don't even want to contemplate that," she said, joking that her husband, who died in 2010, would have said, "'Now it's time for us to move to New Zealand.'"

Justice Ginsburg of the U.S. Supreme Court has embarrassed all by making very dumb political statements about me. Her mind is shot - resign!

I would prefer “Ruth has gone where no SC justice has gone way over the line, commenting publicly on a presidential candidate. It is disgraceful and she has fought against Americans’ rights and liberties at every turn for decades. She should step down”

but that’s not him ;0

She doesn’t have the class to resign otherwise she would have resigned years ago.

He probably will say just that. And by the way, why doesn’t the press ask Hillary to give us her choices for SCOTUS.

I don’t think Trump should release his tax returns. If he doesn’t have to, then don’t release them.

Never a dull moment with Trump. I do hope that he knocks off the Twweets once he’s in the WH or at least leaves them for positive tweets only.

Ginsburg went further than that when she called Trump a "faker" during an interview with CNN.

She seems to be going out of her way to insult Trump personally.

Donald knows where to hit a person in their weakest part. Case in point
Ruth’s mental capacity — obviously her mind is slipping. Not meaning to be cruel, but it’s past time for her to retire to her rocking chair and her knittings.

Ginsburg is an old senile hag now and Ginsburg's Rabbi needs to be brushing up on his Hebrew:

Yit'gadal v'yit'kadash sh'mei raba, b'al'ma di v'ra khir'utei v'yam'likh mal'khutei b'chayeikhon uv'yomeikhon, uv'chayei d'khol beit yis'ra'eil
Y'hei sh'mei raba m'varakh l'alam ul'al'mei al'maya.B'rikh hu.
l'eila min kol bir'khata v'shirata, toosh'b'chatah v'nechematah, da'ameeran b'al'mah, v'eemru Amein

“She doesn’t have the class to resign otherwise she would have resigned years ago.”

When she fell asleep during the 2015 SOTU speech it was an indication of her disrespect for Zero. As much as I disagree with her, if she really wanted to ensure her seat would remain liberal she would have retired a couple of years ago to make sure Zero named a replacement. She really must not like or trust Zero’s judgement very much and thus gambled the next president will be a liberal. I’m sure she very much wanted Mrs. Bill to name her replacement, and is aghast that now Trump will likely be in charge.

King MortMan would have liked to have replied “A supreme court justice actively campaigning in the press in a Presidential contest has clearly abrogated her position mentally. She should allow her body to catch up.”

Justices are not supposed to be openly political. But, like so many other rules, this one only REALLY applies to conservatives.
