Ginsburg: ‘I don’t want to think about’ Trump presidency

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg doesn’t want to think about the possibility that Donald Trump could be in charge of naming new justices.

“I don’t want to think about that possibility, but if it should be, then everything is up for grabs,” she told The Associated Press when asked about the potential that Trump wins the presidency in November.

“It’s likely that the next president, whoever she will be, will have a few appointments to make,” the 83-year-old justice told the AP. 

With the late Justice Antonin Scalia’s seat currently vacant and three current justices nearing or older than 80, the next president is expected to be able to appoint up to four new justices — nearly half the court. 

Democrats have argued Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee, is unqualified to nominate Supreme Court justices. They point to his recent comments that a federal judge overseeing cases against Trump University is biased because of his Hispanic heritage. 

GOP senators who met with Trump on Thursday said he discussed the Supreme Court and its importance in the presidential election during their closed-door sit-down. 

Trump also released a list of potential Supreme Court picks earlier this year, a move that was quickly endorsed by top congressional Republicans.
