“This is a terrible thing to say,” Trump tweeted from India moments before he departed for a welcome ceremony with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“Trying to ‘shame’ some into voting her way? She never criticized Justice Ginsberg when she called me a ‘faker,'” he continued, initially misspelling the justice’s last name. “Both should recuse themselves on all Trump, or Trump related, matters! While ‘elections have consequences’, I only ask for fairness, especially when it comes to decisions made by the United States Supreme Court!”

It’s unclear how removing two Democrat-appointed judges in certain cases would increase fairness on the court.

Sotomayor, who was appointed by then-President Barack Obama in 2009 and confirmed by the Senate, wrote a dissenting opinion last week after the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to clear the way for the Trump administration’s “public charge” rule to go into effect.

Sotomayor described a “now-familiar pattern” in which the Trump administration “seeks emergency relief from this Court, asking it to grant a stay where two lower courts have not. The Government insists—even though review in a court of appeals is imminent—that it will suffer irreparable harm if this Court does not grant a stay. And the Court yields.”
