‘NOT 100 PERCENT SOBER’

In a joint interview in February with Scalia, Ginsburg told moderator Nina Totenberg of National Public Radio why she was once again caught on camera sleeping during President Barack Obama’s State of the Union Address a month earlier.

“The audience for the most part is awake because they are bobbing up and down all the time and we sit there, stone-faced, sober judges. But we’re not, at least I was not 100 percent sober, because before we went to the State of the Union, we had dinner together and Justice Kennedy [brought wine]. … I vowed this year—just sparkling water—stay away from the wine—but in the end the dinner was so delicious it needed wine to accompany it.”

CNN has the video here.
