Should SCOTUS speak on POTUS?

This is a very different concept from suggesting that justice should be blind as we are not referring to due process in a criminal trial where all defendants should have an equal application of the law.

She can speak her mind on this. It's not directly related to the Constitution, and, even if it were, she's free to discuss her views on that too. Is anyone surprised that one of the most liberal justices who is a woman doesn't like Trump?
Once again no one is arguing her right to speak on the subject, She is a SCJ, she's pretty much above the law. The question at hand was should she especially given her comments directed at the character of the Candidate and that she suggested that she would relinquish her duty to the Nation if he were elected.

My opinion is that she should not have spoken; as it breaks long standing precedence among the Justices and the pettiness of her comments simply add to the issue.
