Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and former President Bill Clinton, in a rare joint appearance on Tuesday, traded reminiscences of their first conversation together and Clinton's ultimate nomination of Ginsburg to the high court.
"I was so engrossed with her story when we were sitting there that I suddenly felt that I was not interviewing someone for the Supreme Court at all," Clinton recalled,"I was just a guy talking to somebody I really liked and that I hoped would be part of our future."
"I've had the experience with some men that they have some discomfort talking to a woman," she quipped."It was not that way talking with President Clinton."Ginsburg, 86, spoke in Little Rock, Arkansas, at an event organized by the Clinton Presidential Center. It marked her third high-profile public appearance in less than two weeks since completing radiation treatment for a localized malignant tumor on her pancreas.
Ginsburg has reached near rock-star status among Democrats for her landmark opinions advancing gender and marriage equality and defending the civil rights of immigrants and people with disabilities.
