Not the real RBG, obviously.

There is no doubt that your impartiality can be reasonably questioned; indeed, it would be unreasonable not to question your impartiality. Failure to recuse yourself from any such case would violate the law and undermine the credibility of the Supreme Court of the United States.

— An excerpt taken from a letter signed by 58 Republican members of the House and sent to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, demanding that she recuse herself from the travel ban case that will be heard this fall because of her public commentary on Donald Trump prior to his election as president. This past summer, Justice Ginsburg called the president a “faker” with an “ego” who “says whatever comes into his head at the moment.”
