Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg usually is on the receiving end of awards, but she'll be handing out one in her name next week to a prominent philanthropist.

The 86-year-old Supreme Court justice revealed last year she had a malignant tumor on her pancreas, but is now cancer-free after completing a three-week course of radiation therapy.Agnes Gund, who has given millions of dollars to support criminal justice reform and reduce mass incarceration in the United States, is the first recipient of the Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Woman of Leadership Award.

The 86-year-old Ginsburg will present the award to Gund at a Valentine's Day dinner at the Library of Congress. The award was established by the Dwight D. Opperman Foundation. Gund, former president of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, sold the Roy Lichtenstein painting “Masterpiece" for $165 million in 2017 and created her Art for Justice Fund.

“I have worked most of my life to ensure that access to art should be a right, not a privilege, because it can open minds and inspire dreams," Gund said, “With Art for Justice, that mission is intensified as we employ the arts to foster much-needed criminal justice reform." Last week, Ginsburg received the LBJ Foundation's Liberty & Justice for All Award. On Friday, international legal groups will present her with the World Peace and Liberty Award. On Feb. 19, Diane von Furstenberg's foundation will give Ginsburg its lifetime achievement award.

They get a new body for that rotting corpse.

Is she dead yet, she wasn't at the State of the Union

Good for her she is a fighter may she be well

But first, she must take Harry Potter to vault 713 to get the philanthropist stone.

World peace? What is her contribution to Peace in Holy Land her so called ancestral land where genocide goes on? Philanthropy, Arts & Elitism! Seek justice, Be kind & walk humbly. From Prophet Micah!

Time to retire

I bet the special effects will be lit

Love RBG. What a great lady!

Wishing her a speedy retirement 😎

The only reason she keeps living is to piss off the President.

Do Democrats plan on propping her up again? Weekend At Bernies kinda thing?
