The editorial boards for both the New York Times and the Washington Post took issue with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s recent musings about presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Each paper editorialized this week that Supreme Court justices should hold back from broadcasting their preferences in the presidential race because it could question their impartiality.
Neither the Times nor the Post challenged Ginsburg’s assessment of Trump as egotistical, inconsistent and unqualified for the Oval Office. Nevertheless, her comments would have been better left unspoken, according to the newspapers.
“As journalists, we generally favor more openness and disclosure from public figures rather than less,” the Post wrote on Tuesday. “Yet Justice Ginsburg’s off-the-cuff remarks about the campaign fall into that limited category of candor that we can’t admire, because it’s inconsistent with her function in our democratic system.”

GET HER OUT! Unfit for duty!
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
Justice Ginsburg of the U.S. Supreme Court has embarrassed all by making very dumb political statements about me. Her mind is shot - resign!
