Ruth Bader Ginsburg says she wasn't '100 percent sober' when she nodded off during President Barack Obama's State of the Union address last month.
The 81-year-old Supreme Court Justice blamed her colleague Anthony Kennedy for poorly timed catnap, telling attendees of a Smithsonian Associates event in Washington, D.C. that he brought a 'very fine California wine' to dinner that was too good not to indulge in.

It also explains why she has a history of sleeping through oral arguments.

you’d drink yourelf into a stupor, too, if you were forced to sit and listen and applaud (!) one of his speeches
this may be the only time I’ve agreed with anything Ginsberg’s done

Iirc the first and only attempt to impeach a supreme court judge involved one with an obvious alcohol problem.
They know they can’t/won’t be impeached, so that leg of the “checks and balances” was kicked out from the get-go.

I’m sure there are adult beverages in the conference room when votes on cases are scheduled there. The Junior Justice has always been the coffee maker/server there. Probably the bartender too.

I think she’s been that way her entire time on the SCOTUS Bench.

The left is trying to shame her into resigning so as to ensure that Obama selects the replacement, not the next President.

‘very fine California wine’
I bet they pop the cork on those thousand-dollar bottles of wine everytime they make a ruling in support of obama screwing over the tax payers.

“Well, this explains her rulings. “
Just pray that she stays above room temperature until at least January 2017!

Justice Antonin Scalia, who was also at last night's event, teasingly told Ginsburg, 'Well, thats the first intelligent thing youve done.' Except he wasn't teasing....

You’re right; if I had to sit through an 0bama speech, I’d want to get hammered too. Who can blame her?
