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.

Oddly, I now have more respect for her. I couldn’t sit through it sober either

She’s had surgery for pancreatic cancer. Should she be drinking wine? Hasn’t alcohol abuse been connected to pancreatic cancer?

[Slings and Arrows]

I think that that aphorism is ironic.

[Gay State Conservative]

She said she had a couple of glasses of wine.But she didn't specify just how large the glasses were.

Pancreatitis, yes. Pancreatic cancer, dunno.

If she resigns, 0 will find another Marxist hag to replace her.

[captain_dave]

She can’t be that bad. After all, she’s holding on and not resigning.

[Slings and Arrows]

Good thinking!

My grandmother was that way, too ... a lot of naps ... :-) ...

I would say that at a certain point you just become too old to be up for what the job requires ... just a fact of life. The problem is, no one wants to put an age limit on this job!

Weekend At Ruthies!

I wish her a long and happy retirement...on or after January 20th, 2017.

[Tanniker Smith]

Which is fine because she’s moronic.

[Gamecock]

I can’t sit through one of his speeches sober, that’s for sure!

[lee martell]

She could have taken the easy way out, and said she ‘overslept’, but no, this ‘judge’ has to come out and brag about being stone cold drunk in public. This judge needs to retire, and the Obots have been looking to get rid of her now anyway. Maybe she’s daring the Obots to try it.

I heard once (decades ago) that judges in Texas were permitted to drink while hearing cases “as long as it is for medicinal puposes...”
