Maybe the Notorious RBG did speak out of turn when she expressed her opinion of Donald Trump, but it seems to me Justices get to have opinions just like the rest of us.
I used to agree with Glenn Greenwald a lot more than I have in the last few years, but when he says this it’s really easy to concur:
Hard to take seriously court impartiality/Ginsburg furor after 5 GOP-appointed judges stopped vote-counting & made George W. Bush president

People howling that Justice Ginsburg “crossed a line” by expressing an opinion should take note that unlike in Bush v. Gore she was speaking in a one-on-one interview, not in a majority opinion or dissent in a case before the Court.
