Question, should a Justice on the Supreme Court use her podium to voice her negative opinion about the President elect?
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg appeared to be wearing her dissent “jabot” on Wednesday —one day after an incredibly divisive and contentious presidential campaign ended in the election of Donald Trump.
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 made some comment about moving to New Zealand not too long ago.
When is your departure scheduled for, Ruth?
I believe I’ve read that Ruthie is not well … and would very much like to retire … but it just might be possible that the desire to dance on The Donald’s grave will see her well again.
