Supreme Court Fandom Iconography

I’ve just¹ learned that Ruth Badner Ginsburg, our brutally strong and smart Supreme Court justice, has a necklace she wears when she dissents from a decision the court hands down. This dissent necklace is a studded collar that stretches like a smile from one shoulder to the other, comprising 21 thumb-shaped wedges.

She wore it the day after the 2016 election.

You can buy replica pendants, earrings, tie clips etc., as well as stickers.
