WASHINGTON (AP) – Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is riding the wave of her rock-star celebrity – and now she’s releasing a compilation of her writings that range from a high school editorial to summaries of some of her spiciest dissenting opinions.

“My Own Words” comes out Tuesday. It’s a sort of greatest hits album. It’s also her first book since joining the court more than two decades ago.

There seems to be no end lately to the interest in the court’s oldest member. The senior justice on the court’s liberal wing made news this summer for her criticism of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

A recent, playful biography called “Notorious RBG” was a best seller. A children’s book on the justice and a Ginsburg coloring book came out this year.
