Hours after suggesting that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg resign from the high court, Donald Trump on Wednesday vowed to swarm her on the high court with “real judges and real legal opinions!”

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee tweeted shortly before 1 a.m. Wednesday that Ginsburg “has embarrassed all” by publicly criticizing the real estate mogul and signaled that she should resign because “[h]er mind is shot.”


“Justice Ginsburg of the U.S. Supreme Court has embarrassed all by making very dumb political statements about me,” he said. “Her mind is shot - resign!”

Wednesday evening, amid a tweetstorm that launched attacks at President Obama and Hillary Clinton but also praised the GOP platform and touted an upcoming fundraiser, Trump returned fire on the liberal justice.

“Is Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg going to apologize to me for her misconduct?” he asked. “Big mistake by an incompetent judge!”

A minute later, he alluded to the New York Times and Washington Post editorial boards condemning Ginsburg “for her ethical and legal breach,” he said. “What was she thinking?”

“If I win the Presidency, we will swamp Justice Ginsburg with real judges and real legal opinions!” he vowed in his final tweet.

Ginsburg in recent days has been surprisingly outspoken about the presidential election, drawing a rebuke from the Times and Post’s editorial boards and even Democrats.

The blitz began last Friday with an interview with The Associated Press. Ginsburg told AP “everything would be up for grabs” if Trump were to win the White House. But she didn’t stop there. She followed up with the Times — suggesting in an interview published Sunday that she couldn’t fathom an America under a Trump presidency — and CNN — telling the network that the billionaire is a “faker.”

In a pair of editorials published Wednesday, the Times called on Ginsburg to “drop the political punditry and the name-calling,” while the Post said her “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.”
