Was Ruth Bader Ginsburg Asleep At The SOTU?

Appointed to the Supreme Court in 1993 by then-President Bill Clinton, Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been a feminist icon for over 20 years. She’s only the second lady justice to serve on the Supreme Court (after Sandra Day O’Connor), the first Jewish female justice, a cancer survivor, and just one badass lady. Bader Ginsburg has spent her career fighting for the rights of women just like her, so it’s no surprise that she even has a Tumblr dedicated to her fierceness and killer fashion sense. RBG’s game is on fleek, so why did it look like RBG was falling asleep during President Obama’s State of the Union address?

I have a couple of theories.

She Killed With Words

Bader Ginsburg was spent from writing a majorly eloquent-yet-vicious dissent against her Supreme Court foe Samuel Alito.

She's Too Hands-On

Bader Ginsburg went to the mall to pick out a new pair of fabulous lace gloves, because every woman needs a new pair of lace gloves.

She Was Someone's Muse

Bader Ginsburg's neck was sore from posing for tattoos all afternoon.

That Dang Collar

Bad Ginsburg's stately collar was too heavy for her thin frame (but not too thin, because she could definitely take you in a fight if she had to).

She's Like Atlas

Holding the hopes and dreams of women and girls all around the world is hard sometimes, so Bader Ginsburg was just resting for a bit.
