After opening the latest episode of Saturday Night Live as Hillary Clinton performing the late Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," Kate McKinnon got a little more light-hearted with her portrayal of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg swearing to stay healthy.

Exclaiming, "Now I gotta stay alive and healthy, dammit," McKinnon-as-Ginsburg downed a gigantic packet of Emergen-C, and things only got more ridiculous from there.

There's a Harry Potter reference and some hot Ginsburns.
