    In the past week, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, has publicly criticized Donald Trump—suggesting that his election as President would pose a danger to the Republic. Her remarks been criticized from the left and the right.

    The New York Times says Ginsburg “needs to drop the political punditry and name-calling.” Yesterday, Donald Trump called it “inappropriate” for a judge to “get involved in a political campaign.” Later, he tweeted, her “mind is shot” and she ought to “resign.”
