Ruth Bader Ginsburg Says She Has Quite a Large Supply of Notorious RBG Shirts
Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is intimately familiar with the popular Tumblr created in tribute to her, Notorious R.B.G. At an event at the 92nd St Y in New York Sunday evening, Ginsburg said she maintains "quite a large supply" of t-shirts bearing her face and the reference to the late rapper Biggie Smalls, known also as The Notorious B.I.G. In an interview with National Public Radio legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg, Ginsburg said she gives them out as gifts. Ginsburg offered high praise for Tumblr earlier this year in an interview with Yahoo News' Katie Couric. "Most of it I think is very funny. There is a rap song, and there is one using the words from the Hobby Lobby dissent. I haven't seen anything that isn't either pleasing or funny on the Web site," she said. "I think she has created a wonderful thing with Notorious R.B.G. I will admit I had to be told by my law clerks, what's this Notorious, and they explained that to me, but the Web site is something I enjoy, all of my family do.",
