Recently, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told the The New York Times that she couldn't imagine the country with "faker" Donald Trump as president and that she would consider moving to New Zealand if he wins the election. 

Lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle agreed that it was inappropriate for the Justice to skirt her obligation to keep out of politics. Trump took it a step further, calling on the Justice to resign. 

The White House, however, seems to be having fun with it all. While not condoning her comments outright, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest joked with reporters Wednesday, saying Ginsburg "didn’t earn the nickname the 'Notorious RBG' for nothing!"

Notorious RBG is a play on the moniker of murdered rap artist, "Notorious B.I.G."

Earnest added that the administration also didn't weigh in last December when late Justice Antonin Scalia made controversial statements concerning black students during an open court session.

"I declined to wade into that criticism ... and I think I’ll pursue a similar approach in this instance," Earnest said. But as The Hill points out: 

Earnest did refuse to say at the time whether Scalia's comments were improper, but he added that President Obama disagreed with Scalia's views on affirmative action college admission policies.

"I think the comments articulated by Justice Scalia represent quite a different view than the priorities and values that President Obama has spent his career talking about," Earnest said during a Dec. 10 briefing with reporters.

On Ginsburg, Earnest added, "She has demonstrated a keen intellect and an understanding of the law and a commitment to ensuring that it’s applied fairly to every American."

The National Constitution Center, a non-profit organization established by Congress to clarify aspects of our Constitution to the general public, states that while Ginsburg is within her Constitutional right to speak her mind on political issues, "most judges feel restrained about saying things that might suggest that they are trying to influence how voters react to politics or to candidates."

"This is not merely a matter of 'political correctness,'" the site adds. "It has more to do with public sentiments about how judges and Justices should do their jobs while staying above the fevered turmoil of politics as it is sometimes practiced in America."
