Notorious R.B.G. (Love Ginsburg!)

So during the campaign Justice Ginsberg made a derogatory remark about Trumpy and later apologized... will this come back to haunt her if this whole "lets ask the Supreme Court if pardoning myself was legit" game comes to fruition? Will she be expected to recuse herself if it comes down to the court making the decision about his self pardoning after the fact?

So he'll probably do it again. Stacking the Supreme Court deck was his plan all along since he knew his crooked past would follow him to the WH and he would need a "Trump friendly bench" to save his sorry butt at some point in time.
