Send him a check for $.02 with something snarky on the memo line.

Ginsberg gets into the fray by calling Trump a faker.
Quote:
“He is a faker,” Justice Ginsburg said of Mr. Trump in a CNN interview from her chambers late Monday. “He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego.”
Quote:
The CNN comments followed interviews with the New York Times and Associated Press in which she expressed dread at the possibility of a Trump presidency. “I can’t imagine what this place would be—I can’t imagine what the country would be—with Donald Trump as our president,” Justice Ginsburg said in the Times interview.
Guess she is planning on retiring if and when Hillary gets elected. Makes no otherwise to step into politics. But then this is one bizarre election.

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

“‘Now it’s time for us to move to New Zealand,’” Justice Ginsburg said, smiling ruefully.

Yup, couldn't agree more, and I'll help her pay for the plane ticket.

Not until she helps elect Hillary, and why not. Thomas and Scalia have been legislating from the bench anyway, Ginsberg is offering herself as insurance policy for Hillary's election and then resigns. All split decisions are open for review anyway, so it's not like her time there now has any significance.
If not, involving herself directly in a Presidential election goes beyond all accepted norm for SCOTUS justices. Let's look at the bright side, Trump has a beef with a Hispanic Federal judge, now a female Supreme Court justice, great strategy to win national elections.

She was quoting her late husband, whell. Do you honestly think she would resign fron the SCOTUS and head for New Zealand if Trump were to win? If you think that, then you're dumber than I thought you were. I wouldn't have thought that was possible.

You completely misunderstand what ends Whell pursues with his store of intelligence. Otherwise, you would never have used the word 'honestly.'

True enough. Whell is a complete stranger to honesty.

Our own Dubya speaks to whell:
Quote:
"At times, it seems like the forces pulling us apart are stronger than the forces binding us together," Bush said to the crowd at the Dallas memorial service, adding: "Argument turns too easily into animosity. Disagreement escalates into dehumanization. Too often, we judge other groups by their worst examples while judging ourselves by our best intentions."
The last sentence has since gone viral on the internet.

I fully concur with Dubya on this.
