Justice Ginsburg: Trump would ruin the Supreme Court

[Redban]

Impartiality is important in the Supreme Court; it's the reason the founding fathers authorized lifetime appointments for justices appointed to the Supreme Court.

When a justice gives these sort of remarks, people can reasonably start doubting the legitimacy of that justice, wondering if he or she is giving rulings based on partisanship instead of logic. For the Supreme Court --- a court that gives decisions that are binding in all 50 states + D.C. --- that sort of doubt is unacceptable.

I surmise that she got criticized by the other justices privately.
