\u201cRuth and Nino\u201d\u2014as Rovin Murphy refers to Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia\u2014both loved many of the same things, from the law to travel, food, and opera. \u201cBut when they disagreed\u2026they REALLY disagreed.\u201d In a perspicuous study that will resonate with readers accustomed to seeing even the most casual dialogues in public forums quickly descend into rage and hostile ad hominem attacks, the author focuses on how Ginsburg and Scalia maintained their legendary friendship despite holding diametrically opposed views of our treasured Constitution. She first considers how much they actually had in common (both were the children of immigrants, for instance), but beneath the shared interests and experiences, it was their solid mutual respect that she sees as the true foundation of their enduring relationship. \u201cDisagree doesn\u2019t mean disrespect, differences don\u2019t mean enemies,\u201d she concludes before closing with pointers for conducting discussions and expressing differences of opinion in positive, fruitful ways. In nearly every illustration, Beautyman depicts the two legal savants, clad in street clothes or judicial gowns in a variety of settings, making eye contact and sharing small, often rueful smiles. Figures in group scenes are racially diverse.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
