Video: Justice Ginsburg Suggests Senators Can be Disqualified from Upcoming Impeachment Trial if they are Not Impartial
Judge Ginsburg has been known to being against everything about President Trump and conservative values in general. That means she is against everything that is American.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has responded to Donald Trump’s call for the top US court to stop impeachment.
“The president is not a lawyer,” she told the BBC in an exclusive interview, adding: “He’s not law trained.”
During her questioning, Justice Ginsburg suggested that US Senators could be disqualified from the proceedings if they are not impartial.
Justice Ginsburg: “The House indicts, and the Senate tries. Should a trier be impartial? Of course, that’s the job of an impartial judge.”
Allahpundit wrote at HotAir about Ginsburg’s careless comments.
If Schumer or Pelosi (or whoever might have standing) sues McConnell and Graham, arguing that they’ve disqualified themselves from the trial, presumably SCOTUS could choose to hear that appeal. Could Ginsburg take part in that case now, having already stated her opinion that senators have a duty to be impartial as the triers of fact in impeachment? “I would not be surprised if some members of the Senate quoted RBG’s remarks to criticize their colleagues neutrality,” Blackman noted at one point in today’s post. Indeed. Ginsburg is now a player in this dispute, inadvertently or not, not just a potential adjudicator. Way to go.

She’s suggesting the oath they take prior to the trial isn’t enough.
I’ve had it with all the Leftist innuendo and fingerpointing, the Supreme Court (other than Chief Justice) doesn’t play a role in impeachment. It is highly inappropriate for RBG to venture an opinion.
Ginsburg has no earthly business whatsoever continuing to rule on cases that that’ll affect the nation for generations to come; especially after making another one of her AMAZINGLY ignorant, uninformed, and purely political statements.
For god’s sake, Ginsburg’s 86 freakin years old! She was already an in-your-face activist Justice well before Clinton appointed her, but now she’s just talking pure partisan gibberish like she’s Maxine Waters or something.. Hell, most 86 year olds are LONG retired, for good reason, and the vast majority of them did NOT have jobs that allow them to sit in judgment of issues that affect real people’s lives.
