Can't be Partisan and be a Supreme Court Justice

[saveliberty]

We already know what Ginsburg thinks of the president. She told us more than a year ago that she "can't imagine what the country would be . . . with Donald Trump as our president." Facing criticism for her apparent endorsement of Hillary Clinton and her attacks on Trump, Ginsburg doubled down, emphasizing in a CNN interview: "He is a faker." She then went on "point by point, as if presenting a legal brief," the CNN analyst said.

Still, the Code of Conduct for U.S. judges states that a judge shall not "make speeches for a political organization or candidate, or publicly endorse or oppose a candidate for public office," and it sure looks like Ginsburg violated that provision. The code also insists that judges avoid "impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all activities." Technically, the code does not apply to the Supreme Court, but Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has assured us that he and his fellow justices follow it.

Opinion | Justice Ginsburg has some explaining to do

"He is a faker," she said of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, going point by point, as if presenting a legal brief. "He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. ... How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that."

Acknowledging her own age and that Justices Anthony Kennedy and Stephen Breyer will turn 80 and 78, respectively, Ginsburg said of the possible next president: "She is bound to have a few appointments (to the Supreme Court) in her term."

If you appoint them in a partisan manner, they will be partisan. The Supreme Court is so partisan it's ridiculous.

Maybe we should start holding our politicians accountable for everything they’ve done when they were kids. We should also start accusing them of being sexual predators whenever someone makes that accusation

He's a conspiracy theory nut too. He thinks the Clintons are the cause of his problems. I'll bet he has Alex Jones on speed dial.

Have you heard of Merrick Garland?

Heard Of The 'Biden Rule', Miss Informed ??

These Are Rules Democrats Come Up With
To Put Republican Picks At A Dis-Advantage
Then Democrats Forget To Change Them Back
Before It's Their Turn Again

It's Like Harry Reid's 'Nuclear Option'

It's Not Our Fault When Democrat's Stupid Rules
Come Back To Bite Them In Their Stupid Ass

He Exposed It For The Hit Job Even You Know It Is

He’s going to vote hard right forever.

Hope He Does
Just As Soto, Kagan, Beyer And Ruth
Opine Hard Left
So Goodie...

Preserving The Prog Advantage On The Court
Is What This 'Hit Job' Is All About
It Would Have Been Any Pick To Replace Kennedy
And I'm Sure You're Aware Of That Too...

A Democrat cannot be a faker who says whatever comes into his head at the moment and fails to release his tax returns?

Gingsberg's complaints about Trump are shared by many never-Trump Republicans, so how is that partisan?

No. There was no rule. He said that if an opening came a couple of months before an election, they should wait until after the election to fill it. No opening appeared, and no nominee was ever held up by Democrats based on Biden's remark. Republicans blocked Garland for a year.

If, however, you insist on calling it the Biden Rule, and you think it should be followed, Kavanaugh's approval should wait a month until after the election. You can't have it both ways.

LIAR
In A 'Presidential Election' Year, And You Know It

Doesn't Apply To Mid-Terms
Other-Wise, Picks Could Only Be Filled
In Every-Other-Off-Years
And That's What Democrats Are Pretending
To Again, Put A Republican Pick At A Dis-Advantage...

At Least The Repubs Haven't Caved This Time
And You See How The Democrats Have Responded

Somebody Kicked Flake In His Man-Gyna
So It May Work Out For Lying Democrats Yet

I suspect they always have been partisan given the nomination process.

The Biden rule refers to a tradition in the Senate. Presidents that are lame ducks. A lame duck President is a President in the last 2 years of their term and not up for re-election. Obama was a lame duck when Scalia died. Trump isn't a lame duck.

Could you point to all the times that tradition has been observed? I'll start. Republicans blocked Garland for Obama's last year. Now you come up with another time that tradition was observed. I can't find any evidence of any others.
