Ginsburg says she regrets comments on Trump

tinfoil said:
My guess is it was worth it to her. The liberals are seriously frightened of the prospect of Trump as president and they will make any sacrifice to keep him away from power. As a bonus, the liberals know their fellow liberals will forgive anything they do so they have nothing to lose.

Name one wholly impartial justice on the court.

I just see it opposite. If Thomas was interviewed and said Hillary's a crook and would be terrible for this country you know people who are defending Ginsburg today would be up in arms about it.

There's a code of ethics and a certain decorum we expect from people on the highest court in our country. It's not they don't, or can't, have their own political beliefs but we don't expect them to be so nakedly politically partisan over electoral politics and people whose policy they may have to rule on.

Was Scalia impartial here? And why did cons never hold his feet to the fire over his intemperate comments?

"Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia suggested Monday that the Framers of the Constitution would have “rushed to the exits” if presented with the idea behind President Barack Obama’s recent decision not to enforce certain immigration laws.

The Supreme Court’s decision to strike down most of the key provisions of Arizona’s SB 1070 immigration law “boggles the mind” in light of the Obama policy shift, Scalia added."

She doesn't even have to recuse herself, from my reading, it is entirely up to the justices themselves, although many do when it is an issue they have been involved in on some level.

Exactly, Elena Kagan's recused herself from numerous cases where there was a conflict of interest.

That's not the point. No sitting Justice has ever publicly sought to condemn or endorse a candidate in an impending presidential election. It's a breach of judicial ethics.

If she gets away with it, the independence of the Court is done.

She must be pressured to resign.

How do you know this for a fact, do you mean no modern sitting judge?

I didn't seen nearly as much "outrage" over Scalia & Rush, though I'm sure you'll spend 20 minutes finding some obscure link to some article by some guy who was outraged.

None of it bothers me. I think they all have a right to free speech & association. I'm under no illusions about how some of them vote, and how ideological they are.

Or Alito. The article is too long to post but Alito is named as The Most Partisan Supreme Court Justice Of All.

"Justice Samuel Alito delivered a politically charged speech to the conservative Federalist Society, where he appeared to label the reelection of President Barack Obama as a “moment of utmost sterility, darkest night, most extreme peril.”

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Thursday she regrets the critical comments she made about presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, after facing a bipartisan backlash.

Ginsburg had given an interview to The New York Times saying she didn’t “even want to contemplate” the country and court under a President Trump.

She later called him a “faker” in a separate interview.

Every criminal in prison is either innocent, or they really regret what they did.

Look at that, all the liberal outrage. Amazing.

I can’t imagine, for instance, that Notorious RBG–loving liberals would be as pleased to hear Justice Samuel Alito bash Hillary Clinton as they are to hear Ginsburg diss Trump. ]

truth to that....can you imagine the liberal's reaction if Alito was to state that its obvious Clinton has violated the law and should be prosecuted?.......
 
She was pretty in her day!
