Looks like the Supreme Court justice is not a fan. > [](https://twitter.com/NancyPelosi/status/578273154625351680) On Wednesday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (right) snapped a selfie with the top court’s three female justices—(from left) Elena Kagan, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor—in celebration of National Women’s History Month. But while the other ladies obligingly smiled for the camera, Ginsburg struck a … more skeptical pose. So skeptical, in fact, that R.B.G. supporters should probably think twice before purchasing that selfie stick. There are more important things to be accomplished, like closing the wage gap. ### See Ruth Bader Ginsburg Grow from Toddler to Supreme Court Justice  August 2, 1935 Childhood photograph of Ruth Bader taken when she was two years old.
