Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the late Justice Antonin Scalia were honored Monday by Allegheny College in Pennsylvania. During a speech she gave at the event, Justice Ginsburg described Senator Lindsey Graham as one of the “women of the Senate.”
Justice Ginsburg gave a brief talk about civility and her friendship with the late Justice Scalia. She then made an implied contrast between the era in which she and Scalia were confirmed and the present day. “I thought back to the 1993 confirmation of my nomination to the court,” she said. She continued, “The hearing was altogether civil. The vote was 96 to 3. For Justice Scalia the vote was unanimous.
“Let’s hope members of Congress, the members that Allegheny College has already honored, Vice President Joe Biden and Senator John McCain; the women of the Senate, Senators Dianne Feinstein and Lindsey Graham. Let’s hope that they and others of good will lead in restoring harmonious workways.”

there is a deep truth here.
blind squirrel : nut :: Ginsburg : Grahamnesty
Well.....
Seems to me that Ginsburg’s meds are at the optimum level.
We can make fun of Senator Graham, it’s part of our schtick - but for a Supreme Court Justice? Extremely unseemly.
She did not do it.
This story keeps getting posted from one source after another, and it doesn’t get any less funny. Not funny haha, funny queer.
“...the women of the Senate, Senators Dianne Feinstein and Lindsey Graham.”
I just learned about that very special comma on Free Republic that should ALWAYS go before the word “and” in a list like this. It is called the Oxford comma.
“...the women of the Senate, Senators Dianne Feinstein, and Lindsey Graham.”
Although one never knows with Ginsburg - maybe she had just awoke from a nap and was still a bit out of it. Of course then she would have needed to add the title Senator Lindsey Graham. Perhaps a period after “..the women of the Senate” and then wait for applause?

Clearly, Ginsberg is not senile, after all.
Exactly,
He may be a girly girl back stabbing, sissyface jackass but he is OUR girly girl , backstabbing, sissyface jackass.
In APA style the comma is used before the and. I’m not sure about MLA, or the old journalistic style called Chicago Tribune. The only writing guides I’ve kept over the years are my original Habrace along with my ABA.
I will say this... autocorrect, poor eyesight, fat fingers, and an android screws up just about everything I write on this device. Not having an edit feature is also a contributing factor. Having said that... If I was home I could open up a word document, craft a response, proof read it, have associates chop on it and submit it through the proper channels.
Additionally I should also cite that over the last 20+ years my writing has been greatly (if not negatively) influenced by the vernacular stylistic approaches employed by the likes of Hemingway, Twain, Grizzard, Zora Hurston (at el), and texting. ;)
That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.
Yeah. Either she was dissing Linda, or exposing something about herself. Can a SCOTUS justice be removed for dementia?
She may not have been making fun of him. It may expose her mental condition.
Its been a long time but I can finally agree with Ginsberg on something.
“...the women of the Senate, Senators Dianne Feinstein, and Lindsey Graham.”
Frankly, that is probably what she was doing, since Linda and Diane are only a subset of the “women of the senate”. :)
Yes. Cathleen Heffernan replaced William O Douglas. Easily the hottest Justice, ever.
