Can you believe this nonsense?
We're talking about the highest federal court in the land, and Ginsberg decides she'll get some shut-eye, while court's in session?
"The subject matter was extremely technical," notes AP writer Gina Holland, "and near the end of the argument Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dozed in her chair."
There was no word if there was any audible snoring echoing through the esteemed chamber, but the sleep session was noticed by Bader's colleagues who made a snap judgment to let their associate continue her slumber.
"At first, she appeared to be reading something in her lap. But after a while, it became clear: Ginsburg was napping on the bench. By Bloomberg News's reckoning -- not denied by a court spokeswoman -- Ginsburg's snooze lasted a quarter of an hour.
How often is SCOTUS in session? Either she's physically unfit for the job, or she's making her contempt for the American people and her elevated position apparent to all. I realize this wasn't the most important case in the world, but it's disgraceful, all the same.
Get a load of the artist's rendition of the cat nap-in-question by following the link above. She didn't just nod off; she's slumped over, resting her head on the railing in front of her.
If you think this is much ado about nothing, consider this: what are the consequences if you get caught asleep on the job?
