(COMBO) This combination of pictures created on July 13, 2016 shows US Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (L) in Washington, DC, on October 8, 2010 and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in New York on June 22, 2016. Trump called on July 13, 2016, for the resignation of the Ginsburg, charging that her "mind is shot" after the 83-year-old branded him a "faker." It is exceptional for a US Supreme Court justice to speak openly about politics and their political preferences. But Ginsburg dropped all pretenses of reserve in two interviews she gave recently and which have caused a sensation. / AFP PHOTO / TIM SLOAN AND KENA BETANCUR
