RBG, sometimes affectionately referred to as "Notorious RBG," would be Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the diminutive force of nature who for the last 25 years has delivered articulate opinions and pointed dissents from the bench of the United States Supreme Court. At 84, she still works out in the gym, still puts in marathon hours poring over cases and briefs, still speaks out forcefully on issues affecting those who would otherwise be marginalized under the law. You even see her onstage in a non-singing part in an opera, delivering a humorous edict she wrote herself. She's a character, for sure, an inspiration, a remarkable woman, and a voice of reason and empathy on an increasingly conservative court. She plans to serve as long as she can do the job, and you can't help hoping that's a long time yet, or - considering who's making judicial appointments these days - at least another two or three years.
