6 Sweet Moments Between Ruth Bader Ginsburg and 'Best Buddy' Antonin Scalia
As much as they disagreed on matters of the law, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the late Justice Antonin Scalia did agree on how much they liked each other.
Both children of immigrants, the liberal pint-sized Ginsburg and Scalia, the conservative with the affable smile, often talked of their decades-long friendship that transcended partisan lines.
Here are some sweet moments the two shared over the years:
When Martin Ginsburg, her husband, and some law clerks threw Ginsburg a party to commemorate her 10 years on the appeals court, Scalia was the only Justice who came.
Anyone that knows anything of the two Justices, it was their shared love of the opera. Ginsburg and her beloved “Nino” had many an opera date and were even memorialized in the opera “Scalia/Ginsburg.” In 1994, the two appeared as extras in the Washington Opera’s production of Richard Strauss’s “Ariadne auf Naxos.”
In a statement released after Scalia’s passing, Ginsburg wrote, “He was eminently quotable, his pungent opinions so clearly stated that his words never slipped from the reader’s grasp…. It was my great good fortune to have known him as working colleague and treasured friend.”

“If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”
