Can't we all just get along like Ginsburg and Scalia?

I have occasionally had clients become irate after seeing me laugh with an Assistant District Attorney. People seem to think that because we are on the opposite side of the criminal law system, it is a betrayal of loyalty to befriend a DA.  To the contrary, my relationships with the DAs office benefit my clients, and make me a better lawyer. Debating legal issues, sharing a beer, laughing together...all of that helps me when I'm working on a case. 
 
This gorgeous statement from Justice Ginsburg on the death of her “best buddy” Justice Scalia is perhaps the most poignant and dramatic example I’ve seen of people who are diametrically opposed on nearly every issue having an enriching relationship outside of the courtroom and using their polar views to spur the other to greatness in the judicial realm. See her tribute here.
