IT’S NOT AN APOLOGY, BUT SUPREME COURT JUSTICE RUTH BADER GINSBURG NOW SAYS SHE REGRETS HER PUBLIC CRITICISM OF DONALD TRUMP. AMONG OTHER THINGS, SHE SAID SHE COULDN’T IMAGINE WHAT THE COUNTRY WOULD BE LIKE WITH TRUMP AS PRESIDENT.
UNM POLITICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR PETER KIERST SAYS HE WAS SURPRISED BY GINSBURG’S COMMENTS. HE SAYS SHE’S A VERY EXPERIENCED JUSTICE BUT PROBABLY GOT SOMEWHAT CARRIED AWAY WITH HERSELF.
KIERST SAYS EVERYONE HAS POLITICAL OPINIONS, BUT FOR GINSBURG TO SAY THOSE THINGS PUBLICLY WAS NOT A GOOD IDEA.
