Everyone has the right to free speech, including SCOTUS. I get the concerns, that the bench should be apolitical. But being that the justices are people, they have political leanings and they are entitled to voice their opinions just as anyone else. In truth her comments prove nothing other than who she will be voting for in November. I'd actually like to hear more from the other justices on their opinions of political candidates. I know it's seen as taboo, but it would be some interesting and insightful commentary, I am sure.
I also always find it interesting that when one side gets political with the court or the court gets political with one side, the opposite side cries foul and the side the justice(s) was on says nothing. Then when there is a reversal of fortune in this regard the roles reverse.
