Ginsburg spoke on Monday of her latter-day cult status among liberals, including her nickname “Notorious RBG,” which was based on the name of the late rapper Notorious BIG.
“It was beyond my wildest imagination that I would one day become the Notorious RBG. I am now 86 years old and yet people of all ages want to take their picture with me. Amazing,” she said.
Ginsburg said the two women who inspired her as a youngster were groundbreaking aviator Amelia Earhart and the fictional teenage detective Nancy Drew.
As the oldest justice, she is closely watched for any signs of deteriorating health. The court is currently in recess until October.
