Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says she regrets making several recent comments about Donald Trump that have been criticized even by many fellow liberals for violating the principle of judicial impartiality:
Ginsburg told the New York Times last Friday that a Trump presidency would make her consider moving to New Zealand, then told CNN that Trump was a “faker” with “no consistency” who “really has an ego.” So, really, just the kind of comments that your proverbial liberal aunt who really likes Ruth Bader Ginsburg would make, except that your liberal aunt isn’t responsible for upholding a tenuous but crucial centuries-old tradition of judicial independence.
