I'm sorry she's been branded like this by CNN. It brings an intelligent, competent woman down into the political gutter. She is to be admired for what she has accomplished. She's no lightweight, her size notwithstanding.
Everyone should just leave her be.
“I can’t imagine what this place would be — I can’t imagine what the country would be — with Donald Trump as our president. For the country, it could be four years. For the court, it could be — I don’t even want to contemplate that.”
- RUTH BADER GINSBERG
She is a liberal. She knows the court will be changed for a generation when Trump gives it a conservative majority. As a liberal, she does not relish that.
So what is your problem?
Oh, nothing K-Lady, except when they vet a new Supreme judge, what do they ask them? Their IMPARTIALITY on every issue so that when they go into a case on any subject: abortion, trade, state's rights, guns, constitution, that they have the ability to look at the facts squarely and judge the case fairly based on the merits of the case! NOT their own personal opinions and preferences. That is the HALLMARK of a good judge. THAT'S ALL.
28 U.S. Code § 455 - Disqualification of justice, judge, or magistrate judge
The law requires: “That you are required to recuse yourself in cases in which your ‘impartiality might be reasonably questioned’ and where you have a ‘personal bias or prejudice concerning a party.'”
Other than that, the fact that SHE came forward on her own to basically say that Trump suckled the big one and that he opposed everything he stood for, pretty much tells you what kind of judge she is. If Gorsuch or anyone had said such a thing about Obama during his confirmation, they NEVER would have made it to the bench, and if Gorsuch or another had said such a thing against a democrat president, there would be riots, looting And burning in the streets.
Other than that, Lady, she's ACES.
