Donald Trump Is Right About Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

New York Times

Three times in the past week, Justice Ginsburg has publicly discussed her view of the presidential race, and said in an interview with The Times, “I can’t imagine what the country would be — with Donald Trump as our president,” joking that if her husband were alive, he might have said, “It’s time for us to move to New Zealand.” In addition, Justice Ginsburg called Mr. Trump “a faker,” who “has no consistency about him.” In that interview, with CNN, she added: “He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego.”


Mr. Trump responded on Tuesday. “I think it’s highly inappropriate that a United States Supreme Court judge gets involved in a political campaign, frankly,” he told The Times. “I couldn’t believe it when I saw it.

All of which makes it only more baffling that Justice Ginsburg would choose to descend toward his level and call her own commitment to impartiality into question. Washington is more than partisan enough without the spectacle of a Supreme Court justice flinging herself into the mosh pit.

Ginsburg has been pressured into admitting the error of her ways.
But an apology can't ever undo the breach of constitutional practice.
