Judge Ginsburg on Women's Rights

It was interesting to see how Ginsburg responded to the exact thing we were talking about in class on Wednesday. Although we did discuss the pro's and con's of Ginsburg staying in the Supreme Court as justice, it looks as if she's here to stay. During this interview, she explains what advantages there are to having three woman justices, and explains briefly on how she wants to enforce woman's rights in the future. HERE is the link I found via Real Clear Politics.

I found this fascinating... I was wondering, however, how often the Supreme Court Justices make comments such as Judge Ginsburg's. Is there a line to be crossed between the expression of opinion in a public forum and the explicit expression of a political affiliation by a Justice? There may be an obvious answer to this question, but I'd like to better understand how political the Justices can be both inside and outside the courtroom.
