Antonin Scalia: Ruth Bader Ginsburg: The high Court’s counterweight

Time ^ | April 16, 2015 | Antonin Scalia

[EveningStar]

... Having had the good fortune to serve beside [Ruth Bader Ginsburg] on [the U.S. Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court], I can attest that her opinions are always thoroughly considered, always carefully crafted and almost always correct (which is to say we sometimes disagree). That much is apparent for all to see ...

[C210N]

Doing his part to keep her on the bench for another 20 months.

Antonin, get a clue. Try to find a kind word or a word of praise that she has had for you over the decades. If she ever uttered such, she would immediately lose her iconic status on the left, which she wouldn’t risk ,even if she didn’t hold you in contempt.

RUTH “Buzzy”.

[Veggie Todd]

Is she the one that got drunk and passed out at the state of the union address?

[EveningStar]

It's common knowledge that Scalia and Ginsberg have been close personal friends for years.

[Ken H]

Is she the one that got drunk and passed out at the state of the union address?

It's the one thing she got right.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Countering any shift towards patriotism.

[amnestynone]

Scalia and Ginsburg are actually good friends. They get together in leisure time with their spouses and play board games. This is simply a way of promoting a good friend by Scalia and likely nothing else.

[Vaquero]

Absolutely. They see each other outside of work. Read that a while back. and as someone posted let her feebly muddle on till 2017

[tflabo]

Has the old gremlin ever veered just once to the right on her scotus opinions? Meanwhile we got the waffler in Kennedy and the stab your back Roberts on Obamacare.

[Michael.SF.]

In before the somnolent Ginsberg pics appear.

See post 7. :)

[Amendment10]

Justices Scalia, Ginsburg, Kennedy, Bryer, Roberts & Kagan attended Harvard Law School (corrections welcome). And I’d like to know what students are getting indoctrinated with at that law school since it evidently isn’t the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers as the Founding States had intended for those powers to be understood.

And speaking of justices, consider that if the 17th Amendment had never been ratified then there would probably be all different faces on the Supreme Court at this time. Such justices would likely share the religious and family values of the federal senators who voted for them, senators who likewise reflect the values of the state lawmakers who voted for them.

The 17th Amendment needs to disappear.

[TexasFreeper2009]

I am convinced she is only staying until she can participate (and possibly write the majority opinion) making same sex marriage a constitutional right.

She wants to leave her mark on history (in this case a stain) and then leave before Obama leaves office, so he can pick her replacement.

[EveningStar]

Oops: Ginsberg should be Ginsburg. (doh!)

[RichInOC]

Nino is a diplomat as well as a jurist.

[gusopol3]

Well, excuse me, she does praise him when he agrees with her.http://www.businessinsider.com/ruth-bader-ginsburg-praises-antonin-scalia-2014-5

Their friendship only reminds me of Hatch, Teddy by the way.
