Justice Ginsburg's Advice to Sonia? Shop in Europe!
I had a rare opportunity to chat up Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg this past Saturday night at the Kennedy Center for the Washington National Opera's Season Opener.
Justice Ginsburg, with an almost maternal glow in her eyes, told me how "touching" it was to see Justice Sotomayor's mother at the swearing in ceremony last week.
