Ginsburg wore the embellished collar ruffle meant to show disagreement and stray from the majority opinion on decisions before the high court. But there were no court decisions slated to go out on Wednesday.
The Supreme Court did not return a request from NBC News for comment.
Ginsburg has previously been frank on what she thinks of Trump.
“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,” she told the New York Times in July.
Ginsburg also joked that if Trump were elected it would be time to move to New Zealand. Donald Trump attacked her for those remarks and she later walked them back.
