Ruth Bader Ginsburg: He is a very funny fellow.
Antonin Scalia: She's a very nice person, she likes opera - what's not to like?... Except her views of the law, of course.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg: When I am at an opera, I get totally carried away. I don't think about the case that's coming up next week, or the brief that I'm in the middle.of. I'm overwhelmed by the beauty of the music, the drama, and the sound of human voice. It's like an electric current going through me. Justice and mercy, they're all in opera. Very grand emotions.
