Polar opposites on the bench, Justices Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg had a long, deep and unexpected friendship. Ginsburg remembered her "best buddy" as someone who both revered the Constitution and the Supreme Court. "Justice Scalia once described as the peak of his days on the bench an evening at the Opera Ball when he joined two Washington National Opera tenors at the piano for a medley of songs. He called it the famous Three Tenors performance," she said in a statement on Sunday. "He was, indeed, a magnificent performer. It was my great good fortune to have known him as working colleague and treasured friend."During a joint appearance with the woman he also has called his "best buddy" on the bench, Scalia said, "Why don't you call us the odd couple?"
"What's not to like?" Scalia joked at the event hosted by the Smithsonian Associates. "Except her views on the law, of course."
Analysis: The Author is Ariane De Vogue and she appears to be a non-bias party. This article was created on February 14th, right after the death had taken place. I had no prior knowledge of this event. The Audience is the concerned American public and this story has a positive and negative effect on them. The reason for writing this article was to educate the American public on these occurrences and the friendship between two justices. This directly relates to the friendship between the cohesive but, differing opinions on the Plessy v. Ferguson Case.
