Notorious RBG Apologizes for ‘Ill-Advised’ Trump Remarks
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (aka the Notorious RBG) is walking back her criticism of Donald Trump, saying her remarks about the Republican nominee were “ill-advised.”
“On reflection, my recent remarks in response to press inquiries were ill-advised and I regret making them,” Ginsburg said in a statement issued by the court. “Judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office. In the future I will be more circumspect.”
Ginsburg slammed Trump three times in the last week, referring to him as a “faker” who “really has an ego” and “has no consistency about him.” She joked she might move to New Zealand if he were elected president.
“I can’t imagine what this place would be — I can’t imagine what the country would be — with Donald Trump as our president,” Ginsburg, 83, told the New York Times in an interview published online on Sunday.
Donald Trump blasted RBG for attacking him, saying she should step down from the Supreme Court immediately and that ‘her mind is shot.’
Justice Ginsburg of the U.S. Supreme Court has embarrassed all by making very dumb political statements about me. Her mind is shot – resign!

He also insisted Ginsburg should apologize to him and vowed that if he is elected he would “swamp” Justice Ginsburg with “real judges and real legal opinions.”
Is Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg going to apologize to me for her misconduct? Big mistake by an incompetent judge!

If I win the Presidency, we will swamp Justice Ginsburg with real judges and real legal opinions!
