Dana Milbank: Justice Samuel Alito’s middle-school antics. Ginsburg, the second woman to serve on the high court, was making her argument about how the majority opinion made it easier for sexual harassment to occur in the workplace when Alito, seated immediately to Ginsburg’s left, shook his head from side to side in disagreement, rolled his eyes and looked at the ceiling.
His treatment of the 80-year-old Ginsburg, 17 years his elder and with 13 years more seniority, was a curious display of judicial temperament or, more accurately, judicial intemperance.

And while she wanted to give her daughter the experience of hanging out with unicorns, she is now experiencing a backlash for essentially lying for her daughter, according to some new tweets released on Nov. 13. Of course, Kyle just wanted to give her daughter something unique and special, but some fans are reaching out to Kyle because she essentially convinced Portia that unicorns exist. “Hey dipsh*t,” wrote one fan to “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Kyle Richards. “There's no such thing as unicorns. Tell your daughter #stupid.” Portia is only four years old, so it isn’t like she will be convinced that unicorns exist once she starts high school.
