Subject: And the Ruth Bader Ginsberg award goes to…
Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch?

Yeah, that family is not to happy about it, needless to say. The Dwight D Opperman Foundation, a philanthropy (it claims) gets to decide who gets the award. What criteria it uses isn’t public, but one can only imagine.

Ginsburg family blasts plan to give RBG Award to Musk, Murdoch, others

Or, as the family says:

 Her legacy is one of deep commitment to justice and to the proposition 
that all persons deserve what she called ‘equal citizenship stature’ under the 
Constitution,” the statement said. “She was a singularly powerful voice for the 
equality and empowerment of women, including their ability to control their own 
bodies.”   The decision also drew a protest from a former Ginsburg clerk. 

Trevor Morrison, a former dean of New York University School of Law, wrote to foundation 
chair Julie Opperman Thursday that he found it “deeply worrisome” that the award 
would go to people whom he said “exhibit none of the values that animated the 
Justice’s career, and none of the things that she herself emphasized when 
celebrating the inauguration of the award.”
