Should SCOTUS speak on POTUS?

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.

As I said: I have no problem with Justices speaking on issues and I agree with her when she states Congress is not doing their job by vetting the  recommended to fill the vacancy. 

Your point about sides are noted and just as you suggest those opposed cry foul, those in favor seem to make exceptions. 

Of course it is America and there is no law against her defaming a Presidential Candidate. It just shows bias on her part. The ironic thing is I thought Trump was ridiculous when he claimed the Judge that ruled on his case Was bias because he was Mexican; when one of the highest Justices in the land has clearly shown bias toward him.

It is just my opinion; however, it appears the usual sides have been taken.
