I was MOST surprised that RBG is friends with a conservative

supreme court justice; Antonin Scalia. Despite their
opposing views, they are able to become the best of friends
with an included age difference too!

I was amazed at how RBG was able to make jokes out of

sleeping during President Trump's speech (she was able to
bring humour and light to an embarrassing memory).

I am happy to know that RBG is proud of her nickname the

“notorious RBG” and where it came from (rapper B.I.G.)
despite POC hate in her day.
Both grew up in Brooklyn
1993 was both their breakout years (RBG was
ascended to the Supreme Court and Biggie
released his debut album)
Biggest Question:
Did your presence in pop culture and humorous
misinterpretation in the media create a negative effect on
your life in general realistically. In the documentary, RBG
found the interview with a knock-off RBG hilarious and she
said that she liked it. But did she in actuality?

1. Did your presence in pop culture and humorous

misinterpretation in the media create a negative effect
on your mental health?
2. Did you ever consider filing lawsuits against these
entities for “public humiliation”?
3. Did the presence of people acting to be you in the
media create a negative impression on you? Did this
affect others like voters, politicians or council members
create a bias and didn’t take you seriously because of it?
 Do you have any resentment towards Scalia's views even if you say you don't? Would you consider him a
good friend or just a good 'connection' for your career? Are you aware of his occasional back-handed
responses and his mean demeanour at times towards you? (during the "National Press Club" interview)
Remaining Questions:
Did you have any incidents where you were sexualized due to being one of the only female students in
Hardvard law?

Did you receive lower marks compared to other male classmates for the same work during your Cornell's
arts undergrad and Harvard's law program?

Did you ever consider leaving your spouse Martin D. Ginsburg because of the limitations that were
proposed after marriage (moving to NY because husband got a job there)?

Did having cancer make a setback in your law career occur from not being "not in the best health” for
court hearings/ judgements. Did your superiorities limit you this way in your career as well?

Did you receive backlash from your parents/ community when you didn’t uphold and practice the Jewish
THANK YOU!
