Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg made clear her dislike for Donald Trump this summer when she called the presidential candidate a “faker” and said “he really has an ego.”

Ginsburg later apologized, but she may have been expressing her displeasure again on Wednesday when she appeared at the U.S. Supreme Court wearing her “dissent jabot,” the National Law Journal (sub. req.) reports. Sketch artist Arthur Lien posted an illustration on Twitter.

Ginsburg did not read any dissents on Wednesday.

Ginsburg has a collection of lace collars that she keeps in her closet in her chambers, the National Law Journal explains. The “dissent” collar is the one she wears when reading a dissenting opinion. It is a different color and a different style than her typical white collars.
