History lesson on Supreme “partisanship.” (I doubt the MSM "hits" will disappear.)
July 2016
RBG called Trump “Faker”.
"He is a faker," she said of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, going point by point, as if presenting a legal brief. "He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. … How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that."

[Political preference of RGB, Hillary.]
Acknowledging her own age and that Justices Anthony Kennedy and Stephen Breyer will turn 80 and 78, respectively, Ginsburg said of the possible next president: "She is bound to have a few appointments (to the Supreme Court) in her term."
Trump on the propriety of a Supreme commenting on the election process.
"It seems to me that it is totally inappropriate for a member of the Supreme Court to be weighing in on an American election,” he said in a statement. “It raises the level of skepticism that the American people have from time to time about just how objective the Supreme Court is."

In a wrap-up, there is this. Why does it matter that a Supreme should show any political bias? RBG eventually apologized, but the damage had been done. Those who were paying attention and had no holes in their memories know. She is a Clinton appointee, and she is faithful to them. Totally.

But again, RBG cannot shut up, which brings us to three days ago.
RBG doesn’t directly mention Kavanaugh, but she throws he weight behind the #MeToo movement. You go gals!

So where does that leave us with Brett Kavanaugh? What is the media saying about him?
News reports on Kavanaugh’s temperament. That’s the cover. The key word that keeps popping up? Partisan. In all but one of these seven articles.
