The Kalb Report - Ruth Bader Ginsberg & Antonin Scalia 

I have a lady criminal lawyer friend of 50 years since our college days. She's progressive and I'm an elected conservative public servant. The Scalia Ginsburg friendship is what my "best friend forever" and I have been enjoying the past five decades! We agree to disagree most times. I appreciate this video so much! ❤

Rest in peace Justices Ginsburg and Scalia.

Such a constructive arguments without being personal, whish our politicians do the same

RIP to these intellectual giants. I definitely align with Scalia's view of the constitution much more than Ginsburg, but I have enormous respect for them both. Conversations like this taught me so much about the law and my country. I am grateful that these two served our country for so long.

Ruth called him Nino. That’s real friendship

They are finally United in heaven and drive God crazy with their debates about law and jokes. As a conservative guy, I pray for the family of justice Ginsburg.

Watching this after the sad passing of Justice Ginsburg. Imagining these two American Legends Now Scalia is welcoming Ginsburg to heaven and to share their love of opera

I loved the relationship between these two! A great example of how everyone should respectfully disagree with with another's political views-

What a privilege to watch this

This is brilliant. And the friendship between them is adorable. RIP to both.

I already had respect for Scalia, but I hadn't spent much time listening to Ginsburg, and I'm happy I did. She seems to have much more reverence for our constitutional past than she has been caricatured. The disagreements are real, but her arguments and thoughts seem to be based on open minded reads of the documents.

I love the way she says: " Different styles, perhaps people seeing me as dull and boring, you have a more a jazzy style" How beautiful said and delivered.

So refreshing to see two opposites.....relate their perspectives professionally , respectfully and also articulately ......If the SCOTUS can make this work.....why can’t we.....?

Great to see people so civil even though they disagree on some high profile constitutional matters.

This is how the country should be. Both of them national treasures.

Imagine if this was the kind of political discourse in America

"Structure is destiny." -Scalia. RIP. A great man with deep legal understanding.

Such humility in both of them. What a remarkable example of friendship.

She calls him Nino.....heartwarming!

It is sad we lost both justices in the last five years. We will miss their wisdom and brilliance in the years to come.

I cannot understand why this only has 160K views. Brilliant video.

Certainly two decent people with mutual respect for each other’s intellect, personal discipline, traditional good moral character and values, & deep reverence of the law.

Watching this again after the passing of RBG a couple of hours ago... may she and Antonin continue their friendship in heaven. You can be sure Ruth and Nino are having a long debate up in heaven tonight.

I could listen to these two talk all day

I feel smarter after listening to these justices. I like how civil they are and the manner in which they respectfully disagree. This is missing from the political arena which is ego based

I will never be as smart as these two! RIP to the both of them.

I'm not Justice Scalia's biggest fan, but watching these two banter back and forth is really quite heartening. I'm sorry that he's gone.

I like Scalia, sounds like a good and fair man. He has a lot of common sense and is very logical

Scalia is the man. Wish he couldve stayed on the court forever

May his Soul Rest in Peace! Antonin Scaclia!

I celebrate their intellect, their passion for the rule of law, and their unwavering commitment to public service. Thanks to both of them, and may they both Rest In Peace! 🇺🇸

Debates healthy, stupidity unhealthy. I am not a lawyer, but I love political discussions. I love these two and their civility. Discussing their positions without demeaning or name calling--wow I am positive they could teach both parties a thing or two about civility. Scalia and RBG gives a great history lesson.

Structure is destiny...This 2 and half words distinguish democracy from dictatorship and these simple words are so strong that we need to protect our structure and fulfill our destiny!! I’m in tears...

It's so sad that Scalia has passed and Ginsburg is in her twilight years because this country needs their friendship and public show of respect for each others opposing views more than ever.

I love seeing Scalia with such a humor. lol

What a fantastic conversation.

I love when he says, "I do not read The Post."

Beautiful.!!! Just Beautiful 'America' is personified in these 2 wonderful people.

Scalia was so awesome! He probably was the smartest judge ever to serve on SCOTUS!

Scalia is an absolute titan of law his majority opinions are unyielding and his dissents are epic: check out Maryland v. King dissent-a rare actual reading of his dissent before the court

Too short! I LEARNED a great deal. THANK YOU to the JUSTICES!!!!

Came here after recent news and to watch these justices come together despite their differences

Beautiful session, RIP Nino...watching it second time after I watched it yesterday on CSPAN. Nino prevented me from pressing +/- on the channel remote. Excellent, concise and clear, even where there is disagreement, there is logic which is absolutely clear. I'm not a lawyer, but I loved the whole video. Kelb's question are also very articulate.

I love that they were close friends and their families spent time together.

Just brilliant. The harmfully extreme partisanship today is a stark contrast to the good example of civility set here by these two great intellects and American patriots.

The wisdom in this video is phenomenal!

RIP Justices Scalia and Ginsburg. You both were legends of the legal world.

I'm a 🇺🇬 ugandan I'm so jealous that democracies have such profound discussions . This is awesome , these two are irreplaceable. May they continue resting in peace .

i love them both. Great minds with their own approach according to their unique understanding. The only thing that truly vexes me is how they keep referring to our country as a "democracy" instead of our Republic of law. That is a burning question i would love being answered by them. i celebrate you Justice Scalia! Would have loved to have spent time chatting with you. You really confirmed a lot of things for me and inspired me in other ways! Rest in Peace, "nino!"

How can you not love these two... and the example set! May Gxd give you both happy and rewarding rest!

God bless her! from a conservative.

These two are admired so much & rightfully so..Complete opposites..Male/Female..Catholic/Jewish..Conservative Republican/Liberal Democrat..Yet they were so respectful of one another & Such close friends..We need more of this nowadays!! Lessons to be learned.Rest in Peace to both of these Classy Intelligent Legends!!

Scalia talked Ginsburg into a deer hunting trip, and yes ... she got her deer.

Love these discussions!

Thanks for putting it here, great conversation !

Makes me happy to watch. Model for ideological/political discourse

These exchanges are wonderful.

I like how there civil with each other and were good friends I hate both political parties because it leads to division and partisanship like we have now. I just hope we can reach a day where we can be like these two disagree obviously but do it civilly and still be good friends with our ideological opponents.

I love this, such a great example of humanity.

Two brilliantly opposing brilliant minds.

Rest in peace to both these American legal titans. I wish our aspiring members of the executive branch had the capacity to have such constructive debate.

This is what intelligent, civil discourse sounds like. "Papers" refers to private communication, and in the modern era, phone calls are private communication. In the case of the T.S.A., they definitely violate our Fourth Amendment rights.

I respect the court so much regardless of ideology. Both great intellectuals

The Constitution Judge Ginsberg has in her hand was given out at libraries in 1987. In addition a book "The Power to Lead" by James MacGregor Burns with the following quote: “Let us face reality: The framers [of the Constitution] have simply been too shrewd for us. They have outwitted us. They designed separate institutions that cannot be unified by mechanical linkages, frail bridges, tinkering. If we are to turn the founders upside down --- to put together what they put asunder --- we must confront the constitutional structure they erected. - James MacGregor Burns, pg 160 of "Reforming American Government" Edited by Donald L. Robinson. Who are the ‘US’ and who are the ‘WE’ in the above quote? That is the question!

Such humility and deference from both of these Justices - It's a good day to be an American

I'm not American but Scalia was amazing.

R.I.P. to Both

#2023 - TRULLLLYYYYY ENJOYED THIS. SO MUCH. These two will me missed. What Great Justices. What great examples. Bless them. Hope they are still friends and debating in the next life.❤❤❤❤

This vid was an eye opener for me. Thank you.

It’s brilliant to hear Scalias opinion about a free press. He was a great advocate. Trump should listen and learn.

2 of the biggest judicial luminaries of our time. You made the US a little more perfect.

Its a beautiful thing to see 2 old fashioned people with very different views truly put intellect and reasoning in the opinion not what we see now

I could listen to old interviews with Justices Ginsburg and Scalia all day. They are both brilliant legal minds with different thought processes and teach us all, in very respectful way, how to engage in thoughtful discussions.

Both are such inspirational figures. I truly enjoy their conversation and wish that the US will once again have such intelligent and thoughtful justices serving. The independence of the supreme court is crucial to democracy, unfortunately the last 5 years have threathen this independence.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg arriving in heaven, after an incredible life and career, is greeted by her old friend and colleague, Antonin Scalia. Scalia says "hello Ruth, nice to see you again. Will we be seeing you at New Year's Eve again?"

A brilliant conversation.

Thank you for caring and sharing...

I hope we all have an eye on the ball now

Two great intellectuals 1) Scalia 2) Ginsburg

I could have listened to them all night. Their friendship should teach us there can be common ground and we can disagree without disavowing each other.

I love how Justice Ginsberg started to, and throughout the rest of the interview, refer to Justice Scalia as "Nino" like he was her little brother when asked to describe their first meeting.

What a lovely person, brilliant mind Ruth Bader Ginsberg was. May her soul rest in peace.

Wow, I had absolutely no interest in law and don’t even live in United States.. Watched some senate confirmation of judge ACB and look where I ended up. Two beautiful human beings, both sharp as a whistle . Great chemistry between each other... thought me a thing or two about how to disagree with colleagues, without losing my mind. Much adorable.Ruth has a wicked sense of humour

God Bless Them Both,wonderful show!!

Love eaves dropping on beautiful minds.May enable me to eliminate some degree of my ignorance for at least today day.

Two extraordinary human beings. Let’s be open to different points of view.

I love these two, especially Scalia’s great sense oh humour 💕

Scalia's argument was very powerful 👍

Since he was an originalist, many of Scalia's interpretations can be tracked using a series of dictionaries. No dictionary will provide the same exact definitions for one word. Therefore, if you look up "Freedom" in Merriam-Webster you receive one definition, then another from American Heritage, then another from Oxford English Dictionary, then the next goal is to trace what you find to be the earliest definition of Freedom, in accordance to the year that should be in parentheses next to the definition. This is but one way to see how an originalist-constitutionalist sees words that are within historically notable documents.

Agree to disagree is the symbol of good strong people. Hope is alive while such people continue to exist in society.

This is really interesting to listen to.. Powerful arguments calmly expressed.

I hope that this interview can serve as an example of how it is possible to have an intelligent, constructive conversation between bright minds of opposing political viewpoints. I am a Democrat, but it does not prevent me from believing that it is only through this kind of narrative that the United States can coalesce once again and become the great Nation it once was. My condolences to Judge Scalia's family. A Clinton hopeful.

This was great. I learned a lot. I've studied some of Justice Scalia's views on originalism and I agree with most of that perspective. I think the States and Congress need to upgrade or rather update the language of the Constitution to fit the current times. His perspective on the 4th amendment and wiretapping I didn't want to agree with but when it comes to the law, the amendment does not include phone conversations and other electronic devices that belong to people. I believe reviews of certain amendments may be needed to protect the rights of Americans from government and business institutions in the ever-evolving world Americans live in. Thank you two for your perspectives and service to our country and rest in heaven.

I really believe they are genuine sincere both agree on many things!!!!!! really appreciate it!!! greetings from Brussels Belgium

I wonder how many of the comments praising their civility have come from someone who has called someone a cuck, nazi, or libtard in the past 10 days?

I love Scalia so much . So brilliant

So admirable, both very wonderful and highly missed. I love their commitment to justice!.

Watched it today! What a wonderful way to agree and disagree without hurting anyone!

i admired them both, now they will reunite in heaven, may they +RIP🌹

I don't know why Scalia while recognising that freedom of the press is not about the media but rather about the printed word wouldn't also recognise that flag burning is not speech because if speech meant any expressive action then the line about the freedom of the press would be redundant
