People are entitled to an opinion, they are not entitled to thier own version of the truth when they know it's a lie. Especially someone in her position as that is a very dangerous situation.
While inappropriate, what parts of her comments about Trump are inaccurate?
  • He does vacillate greatly on matters of policy.
  • His ego consistently comes to the forefront of his speeches.
  • He's not released his tax returns.
  • The media have given him a pass on not releasing his tax returns.
  • Many of his supporters, including some on this BB, admit not knowing how things might go during a Trump administration and believe that such an uncertainty is preferable to what Mrs. Clinton might do as president.
IRT your linking Ginsberg to the celebration of Scalia's death, you are off the mark. She said of her good friend.

Toward the end of the opera Scalia/Ginsburg, tenor Scalia and soprano Ginsburg sing a duet: 'We are different, we are one,' different in our interpretation of written texts, one in our reverence for the Constitution and the institution we serve. From our years together at the D.C. Circuit, we were best buddies. We disagreed now and then, but when I wrote for the Court and received a Scalia dissent, the opinion ultimately released was notably better than my initial circulation. Justice Scalia nailed all the weak spots—the 'applesauce' and 'argle bargle'—and gave me just what I needed to strengthen the majority opinion. He was a jurist of captivating brilliance and wit, with a rare talent to make even the most sober judge laugh. The press referred to his 'energetic fervor,' 'astringent intellect,' 'peppery prose,' 'acumen,' and 'affability,' all apt descriptions. He was eminently quotable, his pungent opinions so clearly stated that his words never slipped from the reader’s grasp.

Justice Scalia once described as the peak of his days on the bench an evening at the Opera Ball when he joined two Washington National Opera tenors at the piano for a medley of songs. He called it the famous Three Tenors performance. He was, indeed, a magnificent performer. It was my great good fortune to have known him as working colleague and treasured friend.
