Ginsburg Talks to Press

[marsean]

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Thursday apologized for statements she made criticizing Republican presidential contender Donald Trump.

"On reflection, my recent remarks in response to press inquiries were ill-advised and I regret making them," she said in a statement issued by the court.

"Judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office. In the future I will be more circumspect," Ginsburg added.

In recent days, Ginsburg gave a series of interview to media outlets in which she make critical remarks about Trump.

Libertine, everyone has their own opinions. Ginsburg got on a roll talking to the press who are always hungry for shock value. It sells. By the time it was all over the press she realized it did not seem unbiased for a member of the US Supreme Court to be espousing political viewpoints. She was forced to roll it back. Her comments are plain. This is the game that's played.

Then you rolled into the investment arena with stats from 2009 and present saying do the math. Then an opinion about US and global markets and what "they" want. I would opine that it is the bulk of investors who would want stability, not uncertainty, but believe me there is nothing static in investing. It is a game of uncertainty not stability.The only thing constant is change when it comes to the "markets" But I have never known the "markets" to hold opinions. Politicians hold opinions but they do not direct the "markets". Politicians change opinions when it suits them.

You obviously have yours.
