Totenberg

Meanwhile, I appreciated this piece analyzing the ways NPR fell short in not disclosing Nina Totenberg’s personal friendship with RBG.

She sat down with NPR legal correspondent Nina Totenberg in 2018 to discuss her quarter century on the nation's highest bench & her commitment to principled dissent.

They asked Totenberg to order a switch to hand-marked paper ballots for the midterm elections.

TOTENBERG: In the same vein, by next term, the court will likely hear arguments in one of several cases testing affirmative action in higher education.

TOTENBERG: I would not say it came as a surprise.

TOTENBERG: Kristen Biel would return to teaching elsewhere.

A September ruling from US District Judge Amy Totenberg ruled that Georgia could not be forced to adopt paper ballots before the election, but there was “a mounting tide of evidence of the inadequacy and security risks” in the state’s system.

Ginsburg, who was interviewed by NPR's Nina Totenberg about her book "My Own Words" at the Library of Congress event, said she is recovering well from treatment and expects to be back to work when the next Supreme Court session starts.

NPR legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg and Washington Post political reporter Eugene Scott join Kasie Hunt to discuss.

That was Nina Totenberg, the NPR legal affairs correspondent, to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the recent magazine awards dinner, just after the justice had walked out to a standing ovation.

They had asked Totenberg to order an immediate switch to hand-marked paper ballots, noting that special and municipal elections are scheduled before March.

TOTENBERG: Whether the current Supreme Court, dominated by conservative justices inclined to defer to presidential power, will buy that argument remains to be seen.

According to Totenberg, the Supreme Court justices should not make their legal views partisan because that diminishes public trust in the court.

Ms. Totenberg met Justice Ginsburg when the latter was a professor at Rutgers University Law School.
