Flake calls for the impeachment of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Flake has said that he doesn't think that partisanship belongs on the Supreme Court. Given that Kavanaugh wasn't partisan, he just responded to lies that Democrats were telling, Flake must be referring to the Notorious RBG who said this about Trump:

"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."

Call me crazy but that sure sounds partisan to me.

Even Chris Cillizza says that Ginsburg is highly partisan.  Here's the headline of an article he wrote:

How Ruth Bader Ginsburg became the face of the Trump resistance

He cites quotes from Ginsburg like this one:

"I can't imagine what this place would be -- I can't imagine what the country would be -- with Donald Trump as our president," Ginsburg told The New York Times in a July 2016 interview in her Supreme Court chambers.

Note that Ginsburg made her comment before the election and hence was effectively campaigning for Hillary; can't get much more partisan than that.


But sadly I don't think that either Flake or the Democrats really object to partisanship on the Court; they only object to honesty on the Court.

You said "But sadly I don't think that either Flake or the Democrats really object to partisanship on the Court;" In truth they only object to conservative partisanship; Leftist partisanship on the Supreme Court is their ultimate goal.
