94. Ruth Ginsburg on Scalia..

he late Justice Antonin Scalia, a renowned conservative, and his liberal best friend on the Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, put ideology aside to strike up one of Washington's most memorable friendships. Their back-and-forths at public events often seemed more like comedy routines than sentiments shared by two sitting Supreme Court justices. Ginsburg paid tribute to her 'treasured friend' and called them 'best buddies' in a public statement about his death on Sunday. 'He was eminently quotable, his pungent opinions so clearly stated that his words never slipped from the reader's grasp', she added. Pictured left: Ginsburg and Scalia as extras for the Washington National Opera's production of 'Ariadne auf Naxos' in January of 1994. Also in 1994, Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg visited India and rode an elephant, center.
