Ginsburg admits she f#@ked up.
 

Ruth Bader Ginsburg has apologized for her recent criticism of Trump. She regretted and admitted that it was "ill-advised".

Ginsburg has sullied her seat and is now damage goods. She should resign.

I dunno, calling out an obvious asshole isn't necessarily partisanship.

Oh my. Is she unclean now? Can't she take a ritual bath and get blessed or something?

She's going nowhere I strongly hope.

Hell, no.

Funny how yer boy T'Rump is running on an anti-PC platform but when someone rightfully criticizes his moronic ideas for our country it's all of a sudden 'out of bounds'. :rolleyes:

no one is to resign before Hillary is elected!

Yes. Blatant double standard.

Here's a rebuttal for you. ;)

She should bloody well stay right where she is as one of the few honest justices on that bench, if anyone should resign it is Alito simply for being a flaming idiot.

Ain't that the truth!!

Are you really serious?

You refer to the Supreme Court Justice as someone.

Preposterous! Should Clarence Thomas resign for his obvious conficts of interest in the light of his wife's lobbying activities and his ties to the Koch brothers?

I would have felt better if she had told Trump to stuff it. As it is, I find it troubling that criticism of Herr trump is verboten. The apologies come too quick.

You mean she realized she messed up. :D

Yes, the second time by apologizing. She has more class than Trump ever will.
Wonder who pressured her to apologize, slick Willie since Hillary is doing the Titanic?

I suspect Trump threatened to have her executed if he becomes president.

Naw, he's a lawsuit whore.
He'll sic his legal staff on her.

Apparently the lady got carried away with the politics of the day and forgot the implications of her seat.

She is now into possible recuse status. :(

Probably not any more than Thomas or the late Scalia, whose political bias was quite apparent.

Not quite so.

Bader is now directly linked to a possible president.

True, tho that says more about the folks who think he is a qualified candidate than it says about her. Mebbe she should have passed on the question, but I don't know if she could as he is such a deserving target for the scorn he has earned.

I wonder where Dondi was when Scalia and Thomas dined (by command) at the Koch Bros.

I wonder how many 83 year olds have either the patience or inclination NOT to speak their mind, no matter how much their seat gets sullied.

As far as what she said, part of it was repeating what her deceased husband had previously stated, and calling Trump a "fake" is something that 15 year olds understand. Certainly, we adults should have similar concerns.

No comparison.

Bader was into ad hominem against the "head" of one of our two main political parties. She entered gutter politics.

I cannot see how you guys do not see the magnitude of this f@#K up.

I believe the lady has just grasped its implication and thus her "circumspect" statement.

Her only fuck up was that she criticized a republican. If she'd criticized Clinton I guarantee Don ya'll would be "hell yea!" I get how you people are.....two faced.

From the OP's link...

"Justice Ginsburg said she regretted her remarks and they were "ill-advised"."

I wonder how many other decisions she has made lately, or will make in the future, are or will be "ill advised"?

Since you are presuming...I am presuming that you in such a situation would condemn her.

Where in the Constitution does it say Supreme Court Justices can't criticize political figures? It's a violation of norms, but it's no crime. You are free to criticize. I am free to agree with the criticism to a point, but then to excuse.

Are you serious? Does the real Republican party know or accept that trump is the 'head' of their party? The only response I have is 'get real' and try not repeating this is mature adult company. Might as well write in Al Bundy for President.

Scalia's hunting and rich man vacations, provided free of charge by wealthy Americans, were also ill-advised. Didn't stop him one iota from attending, or defending his behavior to the hilt, on vacations that cost others tens of thousands of dollars.

Come to think of it, wasn't Scalia on one of these rich man junkets when he died? Short memories indeed!

I wonder if Ruth got invited to any of these?

I am serious!

The main point is the lady openly engaged in ad hominem against a major political figure. Whether he is the real head or a figure head or a pig head is not germane.

She entered gutter politics.

And please note head was "head". So so post is a non starter.

A gross violation, especially since the criticism was so poignantly personal. :(

I suspect that it is not what she said that bothers the Trumpers, but that it is true! Here is Orin Hatch:
Granted he has the Utah/Mormon/Romney anti-Trump connection bias but even so his comment rings true. For all we know, Justice Ginsberg really wants to see President Hillary in the WH (like the SCOTUS selected Dubya back in 2000), and if so, WTF. Par for the course and the more your side keeps harping on it, this helps Hillary with the women vote even more so. Besides shouldn't you be worried about the Pence selection?

She admitted she was wrong in exhibiting her political bias as a SC Justice.

But, she did not retract her statement.

Because she was right about that.

Are you sure "Asshole" isn't a political party? They sure seem to be coalescing into one.

Here's all the 'poignantly personal' stuff. Read it and try not to cry:


Certainly improper talk, given her position. But given all the circumstances, I absolutely do not call for her resignation. Not now. Not her. Not over Trump.

Improper, perhaps. Inaccurate, not really.

Why Do We Pretend Supreme Court Justices Are Anything But Political Officials?

Guess what, Supreme Court justices are people too. Justice Ginsberg should not have had to take back her comments regarding Trump who is nothing but a flim-flam man.

Trump has caused you and the lady to lose the high ground.

What caused Trump to shun the high ground.

The lady plays Captain Obvious, the only high ground the hot air buffoon defends is his penthouses.
Philosophically he is a gutter huckster, anything goes to achieve a goal.
