Ruth Bader Ginsberg Comments

[Pressing-On]

I like Ted Cruz's response - especially in bold.

"She should not be launching attacks at any presidential candidate. And Justice Ginsburg attacking Donald Trump was every bit as inappropriate as Barack Obama, during the State of the Union, falsely maligning the justices of the Supreme Court. It is yet another manifestation of this Supreme Court becoming more and more political. As unelected judges seize public policy issues that the constitution gives to elected legislatures, we see the Democratic authority of the people undermined.I think her comments are not the problem, they’re a symptom of the problem which is the politicization of the Supreme Court. We need justices who will be faithful to the law and constitution and not be political actors.”

Hahahahahahahaha! Even though what she said is TRUE, she shouldn't have said it out loud as a Supreme Court justice.

She needs to realize that she has led to Trump.
People are tired of the law being twisted or simply ignored depending on the whims of the executive and judicial branches.
The reaction is to be against the establishment.
Which many perceive Trump as being against.

Obama is a political figure in a political position.

The SCOTUS is supposed to be apolitical.

This is why neither Obama or trump should have to resign, drop out, etc.

Yes, but there is (well, should be) separation of powers with no undue influence from the POTUS. obama's bullying of the SCOTUS Justices was meant to influence the court. Trump's attack against the Federal Judge was meant to influence the Judge to make more favorable rulings for Trump.

If you demand SCOTUS respect the separation, you must demand POTUS (and candidates for POTUS) respect the separation of powers.

Sam Alito was excoriated for shaking his head during the State of the Union. Ruth has taken it to another universe.

In the end she has helped Trump and hurt Clinton. I'm okay with that.
