Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg - I love you

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/07/12/politics/justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg-donald-trump-faker/
<snip>
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's well-known candor was on display in her chambers late Monday, when she declined to retreat from her earlier criticism of Donald Trump and even elaborated on it.
"He is a faker," she said of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, going point by point, as if presenting a legal brief. "He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. ... How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that."

Ginsburg's comments came in a previously scheduled interview related to my research for a book on Chief Justice John Roberts. I took a detour to raise the reverberations from her criticism of Trump to The Associated Press and New York Times in recent interviews. "I can't imagine what this place would be -- I can't imagine what the country would be -- with Donald Trump as our president," she had said in the Times interview published Monday.

Republican Rep. Mark Sanford said Friday that Donald Trump has a "callous disregard for details" that was on full display when the GOP presidential candidate told a private meeting of House Republicans he would fiercely defend articles of U.S. Constitution that don't exist.
"I think what a number of us have been concerned about is a pattern of laxity with regard to details," Sanford told CNN in an interview, explaining that details are critical to good governance, one day after he was part of a group meeting with the presumptive Republican presidential candidate. "It is the details that really matter in impacting people's lives. It is the details that matter frankly in any legislative negotiation."
The South Carolinian lawmaker, who has been critic of Trump, said that lack of respect for details could make it difficult for the businessman to be a successful president.
"I wasn't particularly impressed," Sanford told reporters after Thursday's meeting at an event. "I think it was the normal stream of consciousness that's long on hyperbole and short on facts. At one point there was mentioned -- somebody asked about, you know, Article I powers and what would you do to protect them and you know, I think his response was 'I want to protect Article I, Article II, Article XII -- go down the list.' As we both know there is no Article XII."

Attention Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow

One of you needs to repeat the entire press conference from Parkland Hospital today.
That deserves prime time.

If you still don't see racism in America

examine carefully how they treated President Obama. He can't even get a judge a hearing from ReTHUGs.

One of those racists is their candidate and M$Greedia is cheering him on.

Whatever the percentage cheering him on - they are all racists. They can package it any way they like - when media hosts do what that doctor did just now, I'll take you seriously.
