Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg criticized the lack of cooperation between Democrats and Republicans in Washington, saying that it hasn’t always been this way.

“Now we’ve seen the high degree of polarization in recent years,” Ginsburg said at the LBJ Foundation event on Thursday. “Yes, that’s true. My hope is that someday there will be patriots on both sides of the aisle who are determined to stop the dysfunction we are now experiencing and will decide that their institutional government should work for the benefit of all of the people.”
