Ruth Bader Ginsburg is seventy-nine. She is about five feet tall, eighty
pounds, she has had every disease known to humanity. She is as tough as
nails.” She made her way at a time when you could have a legal
education from Harvard and Columbia and still be turned down for a job
because you were a woman. She is not as loud or colorfully charismatic
as Scalia—who is?—but neither does she seem to have learned to give up.

Roberts is also benefiting from an unfortunate tendency on the part of
liberals to be overcome by gratitude, and even deeply moved, when a
conservative does one one decent thing.

mea culpa.
