— An exchange between Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Judge Ann Claire Williams of the Seventh Circuit at “A Conversation with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg,” a recent speaking engagement hosted at the University of Notre Dame. This exchange took place after Justice Ginsburg acknowledged that she, alone, is not ruling alone like a queen on the Supreme Court bench. She much prefers her nickname, The Notorious RBG, to any royal title.
