Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Slams Donald Trump
------------------------------------------------------------

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has issued a scathing
assessment of a potential Donald Trump presidency, calling Trump a
"faker" and saying, "I can't imagine what the country would be-with
Donald Trump as our president. ... How has he gotten away with not
turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him
on that." It is unusual for a sitting Supreme Court justice to speak out
on presidential candidates, but Ginsburg has recently made on-the-record
remarks to several news organizations. Ginsburg's most recent criticisms
came Monday in an off-camera interview with CNN. Trump responded by
calling on Ginsburg to resign, tweeting, "Her mind is shot."
