Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has never failed to impress us with
his intellect and legal prowess, which he has often mixed in his decisions
and his speeches with quantities of wit and humor.
This is, of course, the man who held students at New England School of Law
spellbound by using the example of how many people it takes to make an
"orgy" and whether orgies "ought to be encouraged" as a way of illustrating
his inclination toward judicial restraint.
So it was hardly surprising that when a Herald reporter cornered him after
Sunday's Red Mass and he made a quintessentially Sicilian gesture - also
reported - that being a Supreme Court justice he might want to have the
last word. So in a letter he explained the origins of the gesture and
insisted it wasn't obscene.
Maybe so, but it's still not something you'd do to your mother.
