Riding celebrity wave, Justice Ginsburg releasing anthology
WASHINGTON — Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is riding the wave of her rock-star celebrity, releasing a compilation of her writings that range from a high school editorial to summaries of some of her spiciest dissenting opinions.
There seems to be no end lately to the interest in the court’s oldest member, the senior justice of its liberal wing who this summer made news for her criticism of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
A recent, playful biography called “Notorious RBG” was a bestseller. A children’s book on the justice and a Ginsburg coloring book came out this year. There’s a blog devoted to her, endless T-shirts and even people with Ginsburg tattoos.
The justice said recently of her popularity: “It is amazing that at age 83, everyone wants to take a picture with me.”
