While Ruth Bader Ginsburg would most likely never go near the Republican National Convention, thanks to Saturday Night Live cast member Kate McKinnon, we can now imagine exactly what the Notorious RBG would have had to say if she were in Cleveland.

McKinnon, wearing a robe and wire-framed glasses fit for a Justice of the Court, hilariously impersonates Ginsburg and delivers a series of epic Gins-burns to Colin Jost of the Weekend Update.

She busts out some dance moves and talks about CrossFit, but of course, had to also tell a certain presidential candidate what was up.

"Trump picked a fight with the wrong 15-pound, 200-year-old marionette, baby!" McKinnon/RBG exclaimed, referencing the feud that developed between the two after the real Ginsburg publicly criticized him.

Trump responded on Twitter saying that the Justice's mind was "shot" and called for her resignation.

Weekend Update hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che have been at the RNC, delivering hot takes and entertaining updates from Cleveland all week.
