Ginsburg: ‘I Wasn’t 100 Percent Sober’ For State Of The Union Address

We now know why it appears that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg appeared to fall asleep during President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address last month – she was drinking beforehand.

[lormand]

Liberals have no class, integrity, morals, common sense and decency. Everyday, we get more examples of this.

[fishtank]

Ummmm.... does anyone really blame her?

She DID have to listen to that “speech”.... what better way to do it than drunk??

[Cincinatus]

Amazing that a sitting Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States would rather confess to public intoxication than simply admit that “her President” is a boring, self-involved blowhard that couldn’t hold an audience’s interest if his hair was on fire.

[skeeter]

BS.

But being drunk is less humiliating for supreme court justice than just being a crusty campus leninist from the 50s who can't stay awake past 7pm.

[Gaffer]

Batsh!t crazy, hopeless liberal and/or drinking/drugs problem aside, I certainly HOPE she can last the next two years. At least we might have a chance at getting a replacement worth a damn....I don't think I could take another "wise Latina", lesbian, or some new "wise-ghetto girl"....

[Michael.SF.]

And what about last year, and the year before that and during Court?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I feel so much better knowing that.

[T-Bird45]

She started her personal “Obama speech drinking game” a little early, eh???

[SMARTY]

Well, it’s not like she actually MISSED anything.

[Dr. Thorne]

This is no big deal to the leftist media. However, had it been Clarence Thomas...

[Fightin Whitey]

Think of having to sit next to her during the beer farts.

[SkyDancer]

How sober is she when she’s on the bench?

[Don Corleone]

God Save the Republic!

[circlecity]

Is that the same reason she falls asleep during oral arguments before the Supreme Court?

[Ray76]

Yeah, every time he says “I” “me” “mine” DRINK! Sloppy drunk in no time.

[pabianice]

I’ve seen drawings of SCOTUS trials during which Ginsberg is asleep at the bench, head on her chest.

[scottinoc]

First time I’ve agreed with Darth Vader Ginsburg. He drives me to drink too.

[Old Sarge]

SCROTUS is an embarrassment in and of itself, but Ruth Baader-Meinhoff raises the bar (or lowers it) depending on perspective...
