Ruth
Bader-Ginsburg, the feisty octogenarian Supreme Court Justice, in an
unprecedented breach of protocol and tradition, made unflattering remarks about
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. “The Donald” who has never met a
criticism that he didn’t like and take personally, In true form Donald Trump
tweeted, "Justice Ginsburg of the U.S. Supreme Court has embarrassed all
by making very dumb political statements about me. Her mind is shot -
resign!" The thing is, though, Justice Ginsberg has every right as a
citizen to say whatever she wants as long as it doesn’t involve any legal
situation before the Court that involves Donald Trump. Besides, didn’t the late
Justice Scalia make comments about persons or policies he was in disagreement
with? Donald Trump is so predictable and behaves like a kid in a kindergarten
playground reacting to being picked on or teased by other children than a man
who might one day sit in the Oval Office. Elizabeth Warren calls Donald Trump “insecure”
and Hillary Clinton echoed the same thing during one of her rallies by saying
that Trump doesn’t have the “temperament” to be president. She went on to say
that Donald Trump is someone that cannot be entrusted with the nuclear launch
codes.
The
way Donald Trump behaves it not only seems un-presidential and lacking
statesmanship but based on some of his actions or statements, he shows an ignorance of the Constitution that
as president, he is sworn by oath to preserve, protect, and defend. Not only
that, but imagine if some world leader were to say something that a president
Trump didn’t like, as insults will surely come, will we be entering the “War of
Armageddon” at long last? Some leaders in Congress, such as Speaker of the
House Paul Ryan, think that Donald Trump will bite his tongue and change his
tone as the Convention nears but the brouhaha with Justice Ginsberg sees no
sign of relent or retreat from the wrath of Donald. I think Justice Ginsberg is
right on point and New Zealand might just be far enough away to escape the
mushroom cloud of a nuclear holocaust after president Trump pushes that “Red”
button.
