"Vicki's and my thoughts and prayers go out to Justice Ginsberg's family.I did not know her well butI admired her commitment to public service and intellect, though I disagreed with her politically. I did, however, knowher friend Justice Scalia well, and one day, while fishing with him in Idaho, we had occasion to talk about his friendship with Justice Ginsberg, given his profound opposite view on almost all issues. He saidplainly that they were friends because they treated each other with dignity, respect, and kindness.All of us could build a lasting memorial to these two remarkable people by abandoning the hate, animosity, and vitriol so prevalent in politics today, and turn instead to treating everyone with dignity, respect, and kindness, making the world a better place." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
