The Legacy of Justice Scalia with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Justice Ginsburg’s friendship with the late Justice Antonin Scalia spanned decades and transcended their ideological differences. Friendships “off-the-bench” are rare and theirs was forged with a deep love of the opera and renewed each December 31 when they rang in the New Year together. At a time when partisan lines have been drawn, their uncommon bond serves as a reminder of how powerful reaching across the aisle can be.

Hearing justice Ginsberg answer a variety of questions in clear, precise and at times, humorous. I am learning so much about the law and constitution listening to her.Thankyou for having these interviews on uTube.

Mrs Ginsburg was a brilliant mind, a living legend. During her long life, she's been through some hard stuff, but she never played anything down, she never wavered, she told the truth.She stood for human rights.The rights of all the American people. Regardless of who they are. In one word: She stood for justice. I guess that's what our president had in mind when he said truthfully:«She was an amazing woman, whether you agree or not.»https://youtu.be/24QKYig1prU

She is as sharp as ever: deliberate - as she has always been - in her manner of speaking, but sharp.

Who is the man who did the introduction?

I suspect that many of the enthusiastic commenters missed the part about respecting others with differing ideas. Ginsberg was a fine, dignified judge. But so was Scalia. Yet Scalia is often excoriated because his views are not compatible with prevailing ideology.

Notorious DOA

If she had retired when she had the chance, we’d still have Roe. It was her ego and the assumption Hillary would beat Trump that ended womens right to control their own body

She never saw a fetus she didnt want to chop up into pieces.

Oh please--this lady is not an icon. Give me a break. I didn't hear about her until I learned how unfair, biased and nasty she was to this president. She was an activist not a justice. If Clinton brought her in, that should tell everyone all they need to know about her. Now I have to listen to all this pretending for an entire week. What bull! So glad she left this world in peace, unlike the thousands of unborn that got the life sucked out of them. Finally, she's at peace, now let our country have peace--we need a REAL Justice.
