Friends with Ginsburg? The man obviously has far more tolerance and wisdom than I do.

I am not surprised that Justice Thomas and Dr. Sowell are friends - they cover the same territory in a land rife with jerks who either hate them for their independent thinking (the plantation residents who share the same color) or hate them for Americans of African descent who pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps (the would-be literal plantation overseers).

Conservatism needs every hand on deck right now and these are two of our greatest champions.

Sure. He mentions it in his book. I've also read that Scalia and Ginsburg are good friends too. Let's face it, such a small group of individuals which is historically enshrouded in esclusivity is more than likely to form strong personal bonds regardless of political views.

Now, Court insiders say, Scalia and O'Connor get along comfortably, though Scalia's best friend on the Court is Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, with whom he served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Justice David Souter, it has been said, is Scalia's least favorite. Scalia has also lamented to friends that Thomas, his closest voting partner, has never become a close friend.
