1. Scalia routinely crossed many lines with his divisive, some say racist, spewings.

Did you question whether he crossed any lines?

I for one am glad she came out against Trump.

2. I don't see it as a big deal

But I was kind of surprised that she made the comments she did.

Making comments while ruling on a case, even a wrongly decided case, is one thing. Making partisan political comments of the type she made is completely different, IMO.

As I said, not a big deal to me personally, but I don't recall it happening before.

3. It is a big deal. I expect Justice Ginsburg, at least, to respect the fiction that

Supreme Court is a-political. Yes, we know that the court has often been egregiously political (as in Bush v. Gore). But to express this this way is to indicate that she no longer thinks it's an important principle.

Fictions are fictions, but for people in significant positions to say they no longer respect the fiction that their own position is based on, is to contribute to the process of simply dismantling the entire structure.

7. She might also be somewhat of a movie critic, and of course that would never be allowed

We seem to have cartoon characters running our country and trying to get elected. Her commenting on the absurd tenor of how things are operating is just kind of proof of that fact. Heck, she probably even considers what she has to at her employment strange compared to years before

4. humor is "very important line"?

[BarbaRosa]

5. Some say. . .

Some seem to get quoted a lot at times.

6. bull and shit.

8. pleeeeease. clarence thomas makes MONEY for his incindiary comments before

like-minded nut jobs, all the time.

and what about his wife's serial, and massive conflicts of interests?

anybody brings up Ginsburg, show them these:
