Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg Announces She Won’t Sleep Through State Of The Union — At Least Not In Person

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will not attend President Trump’s first State of the Union address on Tuesday. Instead, on a day when the sitting president delivers one of his most important speeches to a joint gathering of Congress — a tradition stretching back to George Washington — Ginsberg will be giving a talk to a rinky-dink college in Rhode Island.

But maybe it’s just as well. Ginsberg, 84, famously slept through former president Barack Obama’s SOTU speech in 2015. She later admitted she wasn’t “100 percent sober.”
