It's the moment we've been waiting for this election year: the, er, candor of this year's electoral politics has reached Big Lebowski-an proportions (life imitating art, we suppose), courtesy of a Florida Congressman, who took to Twitter to defend U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
All week, presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump has been having a bit of a war of words with Ginsburg.
It apparently started when Ginsburg called Trump a "faker" and said moving to New Zealand sounds like a good option if he gets elected.
The notoriously thin-skinned Trump was apparently offended, and took to Twitter, calling on the 83-year-old liberal justice to resign because such "very dumb" comments suggest "her mind is shot." Other Republicans hopped on in Trump's defense, including U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan and U.S. Senator Marco Rubio.
U.S. Rep. and Senate candidate Alan Grayson, an Orlando Democrat who's not one to shy away from controversy, channeled Walter Sobchak as he fired back at Trump on Twitter in Ginsburg's defense:
In my opinion, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is our most Supreme Justice. And @realDonaldTrump needs to STFU. (2/2)

Ahh, what a time to be alive.
