The
Week in Pictures: Scalia Awesomeness Edition
By Steven Hayward
The picture of the
week—maybe the picture of the year—is the first one here, of Justice Scalia’s
clerks lined up as an honor guard at the Supreme Court.
Has any other
Justice in the history of the Court received such devotion from his ranks of
clerks? Maybe, but I’m not aware of it.
Do you think Justice Breyer, or Justice
Kagan, or Justice Kennedy, or anyone else on the Court today would inspire this
kind of deep act of respect? (Yes—Clarence Thomas will someday, for the same
reason.)
