Donald Trump raised eyebrows with an early-morning tweet on Wednesday where he questioned Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsbrug’s mental fitness for the bench as well as a call for her resignation over comments she made earlier this week critical of the GOP nominee:
Justice Ginsburg of the U.S. Supreme Court has embarrassed all by making very dumb political statements about me. Her mind is shot – resign!

And here’s the always awful Rep. Alan Grayson from Florida, who clerked for Ginsburg “back in the day,” with a four-letter response to The Donald’s tweet:
Back in the day, before she was known as the Notorious RBG, I clerked for a brilliant judge named Ruth Bader Ginsburg. (1/2)

In my opinion, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is our most Supreme Justice. And @realDonaldTrump needs to STFU. (2/2)

Oddly enough, the NYT sides with Trump (kind of) on this one:
