All rise for the huggable RBG.

Much like a child hugging their grandma before middle school graduation, President Barack Obama adorably embraced Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Ruth Bader Ginsburg before taking the podium for his eighth and final State of the Union address Tuesday night.

The Obama-RBG bear hug has been a time-honored tradition, because the only person who loves RBG more than you is this guy.

And, unlike a grandma at a middle school graduation, Ruth stayed awake during the entire speech this year.
