@rickhasen@AnthonyMKreis Yes. The fact that she's embraced memes/fan tributes (regularly mentioning notorious RBG, Scalia/Ginsburg opera).. -

@victoriakwan_@rickhasen She's an asset to the Court's legitimacy at a time the justices sorely need reminding of their role as guardians. -
@AnthonyMKreis@rickhasen She and Sotomayor have been excellent at drumming up good PR for the Court in their downtime. -
@victoriakwan_@rickhasen Scalia does his fair share of that too. But not to the endearment of the public-- to him personally or the Court.
