Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg admitted in a panel discussion that a nice California wine was the reason she nodded off during the State of the Union address.
“We sit there, stone-faced, the sober judges, but we’re not — at least I wasn’t — 100% sober, because before we went to the State of the Union we had dinner together, and I vowed this year, ‘Just sparkling water, stay away from the wine!’ But in the end, the dinner was so delicious it needed wine to accompany it.”
Supreme Court Justices: they’re just like us!
