Ruth Bader Ginsburg: I like SNL’s portrayal of me

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Sunday she enjoys the way she’s portrayed on “Saturday Night Live” by Kate McKinnon.

“I like the actress who portrayed me. And I would like to say ‘Gins-burn’ sometimes to my colleagues,” she joked.

Ginsburg made the comments while speaking at a Sundance “Cinema Talks” conversation on Sunday.

McKinnon periodically appears as Ginsburg on the show’s Weekend Update segment. She plays the Supreme Court justice as energetic and with a sharp tongue. The character’s catchphrase is “that’s a Gins-burn,” which is usually followed by dancing.

During the Sundance appearance, Ginsburg, 84, said added she plans to remain a Supreme Court justice for as long as she can do the job.

A report earlier this month showed Ginsburg already has hired multiple law clerks for the next few years, an indication she is planning to remain on the Supreme Court bench.
