The song,
Ginsburg told Swiss newspaper Neue Zuercher Zeitung, was "The
Times They Are A-Changin'".
Justices like Ginsburg and Scalia clash on rulings at work, but
get along just fine with one another, she said
"We got along very well as always. At the end of the evening (in
question) Scalia suddenly got up on stage and sang ... We had
wonderful evening," she was quoted as saying in an interview
published in German on Thursday.
Ginsburg, 81, makes occasional public appearances with Scalia,
including attending operas together.
She said she had never in her long legal career worked in an
environment in which colleagues showed such respect and even
fondness for one another.
Even when the high court narrowly split in a 2000 ruling that
awarded Republican George Bush the presidency over Democrat Al
Gore, "a week later we treated each other nearly normally. That
is practically always the case with us. 'Get over it', as one of
my colleagues here would say."
Ginsburg voted with the majority to allow same-sex marriage in
the United States. Scalia issued a fierce dissent.
