http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/under-god/post/justice-antonin-scalias-inauguration-headgear-more-than-a-hat/2013/01/22/4c85ff14-649f-11e2-9e1b-07db1d2ccd5b_blog.htmlThe hat is a custom-made replica of the hat depicted in Holbein’s famous portrait of St. Thomas More. It was a gift from the St. Thomas More Society of Richmond, Virginia. Was Scalia, a Catholic who often speaks about his how faith frames his worldview, subtly stating his defiance of political authority, making an argument about religious freedom today, or was his head just really cold?

How shall I not weep when I think of death? For I have seen my brother in his coffin, without glory or comeliness. What, then, do I expect? And what do I hope for? Only grant me, O Lord, repentance before the end.

He serves until he retires, dies, or AFAIK is censured and removed by the Supreme Court. Is that not so? |

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
and both come out of your mouth

It is an education process for me as I learn about the psychology of spiritual apostasy. And others get the benefit of perhaps hearing righteousness for the first time.
Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.

Notice the similarity of this cap with those worn by Greek Orthodox Priests? |

When in-Justice Rehnquist, who decided in Ingraham v Wright that schools could beat students with thick wooden boards without even giving them a hearing like students must get before suspension, conducted Clinton's impeachment hearing he needlessly "invented" his own robe decorations, adding gold stripes:  Scalia's hat is rather benign, if not pleasant, in contrast. |

Oh, wow. Just wow. What next? Why did he not wear his doctorate robe and hat. Some of those scholastic garbs can be very outlandish. |
