Dear Justice Ginsburg: I will buy your ticket to New Zealand if you Quit and Renounce your Citizenship Now #RBG

So, Justice Ginsburg had this to say recently about The Donald:

Though the rest of her Supreme Court colleagues tend to be reticent when it comes to discussing politics, leave it to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to voice her thoughts on Donald Trump.

“I can’t imagine what this place would be — I can’t imagine what the country would be — with Donald Trump as our president,” she said. “For the country, it could be four years. For the court, it could be — I don’t even want to contemplate that.”

It reminded her of something her husband, Martin D. Ginsburg, a prominent tax lawyer who died in 2010, would have said.

“‘Now it’s time for us to move to New Zealand,’” Justice Ginsburg said, smiling ruefully.

If your opening play to the election of someone who is much more obnoxious, but objectively not noticeably more corrupt, politically inept, egomaniacal, or power-hungry than the current Democratic Party frontrunner, the current President, or any of the other Presidents going back for a generation is to threaten to leave the country, then let me be blunt: you have no loyalty to this country, and you have no desire to stick with it when the going gets tough.

The term “sunshine patriot” was invented to describe people like you.

In fact, you’ve failed to pass the ‘love of country’ test by white supremacists like Jefferson Davis and Nathan Bedford Forrest, who wanted to leave the country, because of the 1860 election results, but actually liked their home states enough to stay there and fight for them (albeit in an unjust cause.)

As Samuel Adams memorably put it:

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom — go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

So, in that spirit, I would like to make you an offer, Justice Ginsburg:

If you really have so little investment in the future of the country on which you serve on the highest court, then please, have the courage of your convictions. Step down immediately. I will personally pay for a one-way ticket to New Zealand. The only condition is that, upon arrival, you must show up at the U.S. Embassy in Wellington (contact information is helpfully provided at this link,) and renounce your citizenship.

I think this is the best solution — you won’t have to be as concerned about the next President of the United States, and we’ll be rid a Supreme Court Justice whose not really that invested in the country to begin with.

Offer expires when the GOP nominate a candidate, so let me know soon!
