Ginsberg and Scalia were quite close friends.

It seems this major foundation of American Government is really hanging by the threads of the 9 justices own friendship.

It could just as easily collapse in the bitter, angry and woke cesspool that is American national politics in Washington DC

Yes, Scalia loved to sing and Ginsburg was apparently quite a good piano player, so they would go to parties (with their spouses) and she would accompany him on the piano while he sang.

Apparently, both Scalia and Ginsburg were opera buffs and they liked to talk about the opera.

There was a Supreme Court term within the last few years (it may have been the 2016-17 term) where the two justices who voted together more than any other pair were Clarence Thomas and Darth Bader Ginsburg.

High-profile cases get a lot of media coverage, but the reality is that a lot of the decisions issued by the Supreme Court are pretty inconsequential and are decided along very narrow interpretations of the law.

Above is a good article by Thomas in remembrance of Ginsburg. Obviously they disagreed on things, but it sounds like the two of them were professional while also being friendly.

Just wait for the Fall Session. Ketanje-Brown will be coming onto the Court. I don't see her as someone who is going to play nice.
