The world noticed a slumping Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the State of the Union speech this year and assumed she’d been lulled to sleep by President Barack Obama’s speech.
Not true, it turns out. There was another culprit — alcohol. Justice Ginsburg was not “100% sober.”
While the President’s speech didn’t help, Justice Ginsburg wasn’t falling asleep…she was passing out.
According to the 81-year-old justice, “The audience — for the most part — is awake because they’re bobbing up and down all the time and we sit there stone-faced, sober judges. At least I wasn’t 100 percent sober because before we went to the State of the Union we had dinner.”
How was it that a Supreme Court Justice managed to attend the State of the Union drunk? As is always the case, it’s the company you keep.
