Trump Effect – Justice Ginsburg Apologizes, Regrets Commentary…

When supreme court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg targeted Donald Trump with her personal attacks and invectives many people were stunned.
Many pundits and Legal-types were aghast, because the ramifications were/are considerable given the number of executive branch legal issues that end up in SCOTUS.  Under a President Trump, Ginsburg’s clear bias would mean solid arguments she would have to recuse herself from any cases originating within a Trump administration.
But from Justice Ginsburg’s perspective she has nothing to lose.   Ginsburg is all in for Hillary Clinton to win the election.  Ginsburg is not going to remain on the court in 2017.  Ergo the “recuse issue” is moot. The next POTUS is going to select Gingsburg’s replacement.  The walk-back is face saving for the cause only.

“On reflection, my recent remarks in response to press inquiries were ill-advised and I regret making them,” Justice Ginsburg said in a statement on Thursday. “Judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office. In the future I will be more circumspect.” (link)

4 Candidate Key State Poll
Yeah, I know, it takes a few minutes to gain your breath after you stop laughing.
Not only does this mean the best laid plans of the #NeverTrump crew have backfired, but it also means Team Clinton will now have to work diligently to get rid of Gary Johnson and Jill Stein if she is to have any remote possibility of winning the general election.
‘Splodey does not seem to adequately give enough emphasis to the stompy feet anxiety sure to be upsetting the globalists.  This is the best summer election ever.
