I watched an interview with the woman who wrote the Notorious RBG.

According to her Ginsburg is more upset by Trump's attack on the institution and a sitting Federal judge.

She is also upset as a SCOTUS justice that the Senate under the Constitution refuses to do their job and give Garland a hearing.

BTW at her age she has earned the right to vent.

RBG Is Hardly the First Supreme Court Justice to Mess With Presidential Politics

.. some history ..

SCOTUS justices have been taking sides in U.S. politics since the ink was still wet on the Constitution.

Three times in the past week, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg let the country know she’d prefer that Donald Trump not win the next election. Trump responded that he didn’t much like having her in her job either. “Justice Ginsburg of the U.S. Supreme Court has embarrassed all by making very dumb political statements about me. Her mind is shot—resign!” Trump tweeted. Cooling down a little, he suggested at least she should apologize: “I think it’s highly inappropriate that a United States Supreme Court judge gets involved in a political campaign, frankly,” Trump said. “I think it’s a disgrace to the court and I think she should apologize to the court. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it.”

If what RBG did is a disgrace to the court, she’s in illustrious company.

[...]

She’s been saving her political capital for 40 years, to use in ways that other justices have been doing since the founding. And she’s not throwing away her shot.
