Justice Ginsburg now regrets saying she'd move to New Zealand if Donald Trump were elected President. 

After mounting criticism from both the right and the left, with some calling for Ginsburg to recuse herself if another Gore v. Bush scenario arose this election season, the lady Justice issued a public apology, saying she regrets voicing her opinion on a national election.

"On reflection, my recent remarks in response to press inquiries were ill-advised and I regret making them," Ginsburg said in a statement. "Judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office. In the future I will be more circumspect."

In an interview with NPR's Nina Totenberg, Ginsburg called her comments "incautious."

"I did something I should not have done," she added. "It's over and done with and I don't want to discuss it anymore."

Though some leftists jumped to Ginsburg's defense, not all supported her, mostly to do with its strong potential to unite divided Republicans.

Justice Breyer, the other leftist on the court, stated: "If I had an opinion, I wouldn't express it."

Trump went so far as to demand Ginsburg's resignation, saying on Twitter: "Justice Ginsburg of the U.S. Supreme Court has embarrassed all by making very dumb political statements about me. Her mind is shot - resign!"
