The Notorious Rbg

Bigger than life, though petite in the flesh, An outlet where coolness and intellect mesh, A mind where ideas and decisions are fresh, She’s as hip as a justice can be. At 85 years, she’s still sharp as a tack, With feistiness others before her did lack. She opened the door and there’s no going back; Even those on the right must agree. With her trainer, her workouts have earned her acclaim And her night owl habits put others to shame. Like the rapper from Brooklyn, she merits the name – The Notorious one – RBG!* *Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Nice tribute to a real unusual gal...though I can't say I know one "righty" who looks past her rulings to see the person underneath. Scalia did, but he wasn't really a righty when you examine his decisions. He revered law and the Constitution; so he could respect RPG while disagreeing with her...Anyway, I believe Ruth herself would enjoy this one! :) gw
