Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was caught on camera looking sleepy with her head dropped and eyes closed during President Obama’s State of the Union speech — and social media was quick to notice.

Jay Caruso tweeted the picture of Justice Ginsburg amid her fellow Supreme Court colleagues, with an added message on the photo: “Zzzzzzzzz,” Mediaite reported. And the accompanying Twitter text was short and to the point: “Justice Ginsburg.”

Meanwhile, Michelle Malkin’s tweeted photo was a frontal shot of the justice and her droopy head, seated next to her obviously more attentive colleagues, with the text: “We are all Ruth Bader Ginsburg now.”

And another, Lara Naaman, tweeted: “#RBG YOU ARE MY HERO.”

One more, from Ed O’Keefe: “Ginsburg once again nodding off, even during loud rounds of applause,” Mediaite reported.
