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."
In a wide-ranging conversation, she also said poor women were victims of restrictive abortion access.
The US president is expected to be impeached by the House of Representatives on Wednesday.

Trump may not be a lawyer, but he knows he's being railroaded. Why don't you know that, Ruthie? As a Democrat, it must be the worst kept secret in DC that the whole party has been looking to take him down since Day 1 (and before! ) in office. Everybody knows.

Poor women have been the victims of rich men with powerful lawyers that work to get child support cases thrown out of court, (I'm looking at you Biden).
Guess that use of her Judicial System doesn't bother the Justice in the least. If she would have aborted her team would be free to keep up "the good work".

Considering that RBG probably got her law degree from the same guy that did scumbama's birth certificate, she should probably be a little more discreet.

I just realized that the most biased Justice to ever sit on the Supreme Court just said Senators that are biased are disqualified from voting. If you took away the political bias in the House there wouldn't even be an inquiry. She is off her rocker and needs to get out of the chair.

RBG revealed her true motivations. What does abortion have to do with anything when we are talking about impeachment? RBG knows it is only a matter of time before she is deciding cases for a higher power. Here on earth, RBG knows cases like abortion, will go on, even if she does not go on. A 7-2 conservative majority will really put a dent in her abortion rulings.
RBG says...Damn you Donald Trump...I hate you.
RIP RBG if you can.

In a bit of semi-plagerism of Churchill's back and forth with a vicious "lady" at a party, ....
RBG says "You are not a lawyer!"
And Trump says, " Yes, true, but I will be alive in a 2021 and you won't".

There is no constitutional requirement that the President of the USA be a lawyer, so regarding the President’s qualifications to hold that office, being or not being a lawyer is a non-issue.
Of course the Democrats believe that only liberal lawyer-politicians be considered qualified to be elected President. To the Democrats being a liberal lawyer is equal to being a nobleman in merry old England, with most everyone else who does not agree with the leftist or liberal Democrat socialist political agenda being considered to be a “Deplorable”.

It's one of the reasons I voted for our great President. Another one of my favorites, Scott Walker, was a semester short of a bachelor's degree. I'm sensing a pattern here.

For a women somewhat close to death she is pretty foolish for holding firm to her 'It's okay to kill babies.' posturing. Not only that but she lies knowingly in that most of Planned unParenthood's murder palaces are deliberately located in minority neighborhoods.

The U.S. Supreme Court has no constitutional role to do anything about impeachment.
Of course, the Court also does not have a constitutional role in deciding if laws are constitutional - they just took on that role in Marbury v. Madison - and when no one complained, they kept that role.

I am no fan of RBG, but Constitution Art. III delineates the jurisdiction of the federal courts. It does not include disputes over impeachment. Art. I delineates the powers of Congress. Impeachment by the House and trial by the Senate are provided. The President could avoid appearing ignorant by simply consulting with his own White House counsel on this and many other subjects.

Neither were most of the Founding Fathers, yet look what they created! Amazingly, Ruthie doesn't yet comprehend that Abraham Lincoln wasn't even a high school graduate and practiced law... besides, that's all they do is practice.

Ginsburg will die at her desk and no one will notice she’s missing until she starts to smell bad.

Trump not a lawyer? That’s a good thing. We have too many in government as it is from Clinton (disbarred for lying under oath) to the thousands infesting congress and the deep state.

JanJan (#23)..... you left that one wide open.
But.... I won't comment about the smell (which might be pretty bad already.)
RBG should retire while she is still mostly upright.
But instead, as the typical Leftist that she is, she will cling to her POWER until they pry it from her cold, dead claws.

Unlike those paragons of jurisprudence, Bill and Hillary Clinton and Barack and Michelle Obama.
Fired, disbarred, suspended, all across the disciplinary spectrum.
Ruth, I don't want to appear indelicate, but can you please hurry it up? President Trump has another nomination to make.

Ruth, our country does not require a law degree to express their opinions, or make requests of the Supreme Court. I believe most people appearing in suits before the court are not lawyers. Looking forward to Trump replacing you.

Is she a lawyer? I thought she was the Lord High Dathan, the Butcheress of her Species. History will record she turned a history of persecution and suffering into a right for all to kill.

#18 I'd bet you could easily find a proper legal position that says an impeachment effort funded by a political party and one that used knowing falsehoods and planted, false evidence, is NOT a legal, constitutional, protected power of the House. In fact I think if violated basic legal rules of evidence along with perjury and violation of their oaths of office. If hacks like Ginsberg are going to allow this blatant abuse of office by rat House members then society might as well settle political issues in the streets. THAT is where this will end up if slobs like RBG think they can simply rule us according to their warped neocommunist thinking.

It makes no difference if he is a lawyer or not!! As President, he has every right to ask the court to step in. Co-equal branches. If there is a conflict between 2 of the branches, the 3rd branch may be invoked.
Ruthie is going senile. She doesn't know her job anymore. Also, if the old bat thinks Senators with bias should step down, then shouldn't half of the House step down for their obvious partisan bias????? And what about YOUR bias, Ruthie??

If there is no law giving the US Supreme Court jurisdiction over presidential impeachment proceedings, then if the court decides to comment on the Democrat created impeachment fiasco it should use national tradition as the norm. The problem for the Democrats then is that the USA has no tradition of impeaching and removing past Presidents from office based upon bogus politically based charges, such as what the Democrats are now readying to try to undo the 2016 election.
The Democrat impeachment effort is based upon President Trump asking the President of Ukraine to cooperate with the US Attorney General to investigate former Vice-President Joseph Biden for corruption, of which there is probable cause, while Biden was directing the Obama Administration US foreign policy towards Ukraine, including handing Ukraine about a billion dollars in US foreign aid money, some of which could easily have been corruptly laundered before ending up in Biden’s son’s pockets. There is no law prohibiting the President asking a foreign government to cooperate with US law enforcement efforts, and there is no law, or above board tradition, that gives a US politician suspected of corruption immunity from being investigated because that politician announces that he will be running to be elected President in a future election. In essence the Democrats are claiming that because Trump wants Biden investigated for such suspected corruption, that Trump is a danger to national security and must be removed from office before he is re-elected next year.

And Ruthie got her degree from a mail-in house. I wonder what she paid for it.

It's getting sad or ridiculous or both. This woman is senile. From the article: "In the conversation, she also implied that senators who display bias should be disqualified from acting as jurors in the trial." Seriously?! And, she's a "lawyer" -- c'mon. It is a political trial - if you throw out anyone with bias, there would be no one to hear the evidence. Time to retire Ruthie (as an aside: she is also obsessed with abortion).
