Supreme Court Justices have the right to vote in presidential elections. They also have the right to vote in any other election in which citizens are eligible to vote. This is a precious right that should not be taken away because a person is in the judiciary or has any other governmental position. The president, vice-president, members of the cabinet, senators, and representatives all have the right to vote.

Supreme Court Justices have the right to vote in presidential elections. They also have the right to vote in any other election in which citizens are eligible to vote. This is a precious right that should not be taken away because a person is in the judiciary or has any other governmental position. The president, vice-president, members of the cabinet, senators, and representatives all have the right to vote.
What Supreme Court Justices should not do is express their opinions publicly about presidential candidates, or for that matter, about presidents. They have been known to make remarks at private events from time to time, but they should be careful. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg realized this after she commented on Donald Trump and then apologized for her remarks. The Supreme Court should at least appear to be above the fray of politics, even if it is not.
