Delightful - I’ve never heard RBG speak before. Is it me, or does Couric seem a bit patronizing? She’s dealing with an intellectual giant, not some nursing home charity case. I half expected Couric to pinch her cheek and call her “precious”…

I wish we could clone her. A Court made up entirely of Ginsburgs would be awesome (and would also be the salvation of America!).

The more I read and hear about this lady, the more I am liking her.

Katie Couric is as important and has all the power of a fart in a wind storm. RBG is the real deal.

Ginsburg told Yahoo News’ Katie Couric
It must be a long way down for Katie…

Bless her heart, but she had to have a clerk explain it to her? With age comes wisdom and evidently an inability to use (or knowledge of) internet search engines. She’s on what I consider to be the correct side of most opinions, but so would a plethora of much younger possible SC justices who have an active awareness of technology and modern culture. Please retire in the next year RBG.
Appreciating that you’re overstating for comedic effect, in acuality, someone as superficial, vacuous, and unessential to the human condition as a vapid TV personality, simply could never be as significant to any of our lives as the individual ability to periodically relieve excess from the human gastro-intestinal system, regardless prevailing weather conditions.
Whereas, OTOH, Notorious RBG be down wid da fokes, groovin dat troof, clowns. Wat she really need, yo, is side support layin’ down a solid beat for them killer riffs, and a posse keepin’ it real.

Oh oh chortle, good cheep laffs shot there; but reality is that, dead-tube tech old-timey “network” personality cults that traditionally have supported nonentities like Couric and Gregory and large swaths of the Russertt clan don’t have the finances to keep their nonentities in the style to which they believe themselves entitled without way over-paying, whereas even a lowbrow net aggregator such as Yahoo can justify kazillions to a niche name-hook like Couric to perk the traffic.

Way to go with the vapid patronizing there, KBLOW; things were getting way too Norman Rockwell here for it to last.

Youth, technology and modern culture? You mean like The Bachelorette, Duck Dynasty, and Face Book?
She still has a great mind and they are in short supply.

Couric is a silly twit.
Because of course, if you don’t follow the rap “music” scene and know the names of absolutely every rapper who has ever been recorded, you are just hopelessly senile and out of touch with the real world.
Pfffffft!

The Supreme Court of the United States was created in accordance with this provision and by authority of the Judiciary Act of September 24, 1789 (1 Stat. 73). It was organized on February 2, 1790.
And 191 years later, in 1981, .Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. the first woman was appointed to serve on the SCOTUS. She served 24 years and retired on George W. Bush.
It’s only been 33 years since the first woman served. There are three woman presently on the bench. We make up a third.
When you take a look at the whole picture, it’s rather pathetic how long it’s taken woman to get this far.
Sorry, but she’s smart, tough, sharp as a tack and committed to justice and democratic principles.
Who cares that she’s not all caught up in the spewings of pop culture?
