The family of the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg have released a statement denouncing the decision to bestow the Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Leadership Award on a group that includes Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch. The chair of the award committee, corporate lawyer Brendan Sullivan, said: “The honorees reflect the integrity and achievement that defined Justice Ginsburg’s career and legend,” but Ginsburg's family called the award, "an affront to the memory of our mother and grandmother, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg." The award was previously given only to women, but expanded this year to honor men (Martha Stewart is the only female recipient), with Julie Opperman, chair of the Dwight D. Opperman Foundation (the award's organizer) saying: "Justice Ginsburg fought not only for women but for everyone." Here's more from Mother Jones.
