Because vice matters.
But pay attention. Pay attention. Hmmmm.... Staring at an old page of the notes I took back at the conference... Even with the help of that cappuccino...What do these old notes even mean?
WWSD. It must mean what would Scalia do, right?
But what's this other thing?
Well, the norms of my note taking are loose.

WWSD. That is precisely the right question. If only I could persuade you to ask it in Carhart... ;)

Yes, but excellent doodles!
WWSD -- What would Scalia DRIVE?
I'm thinking a '73 Cadillac El-Dorado convertable with a personalized license plate that reads: CAVOLO.

According to Justice Blackmun, one should be less concerned with finding out than staying out of his way:
"[Scalia's] opinions are energetically argumentative ... He [also] drives that way, as all New Yorkers should. Consider this passage in a letter that Justice Harry Blackman received some years ago and read with great delight to a large audience. The writer had recently met Justice Scalia at a seminar in France. And he wrote to Justice Blackman, 'Your junior Justice was a pleasant colleague, though a madman behind the wheel of a car. A true Italian driver.' The French were terrified."
The French were terrified.
One more reason to like Scalia!
Edward,
Well, gee - thanks for that tuppenny psychoanalysis... I'm now having to suppress the desire to launch into a long-winded, somewhat emotional (and quite possibly faintly undignified) defense of my Sensei, but I don't want to bore, and I really doubt that you're open to persuasion on the point anyway. Suffice to say, I have a higher opinion of him, and his jurisprudence, than do you.
WWSD: Writing's work! Start doodling.
Derve: I saw that as "distinguished from" umpiring. Remember [now] Chief Justice Roberts using that umpiring analogy at his confirmation hearings?
"df" in my notes means "different" or "difficult." Probably was about the difficulty of judges "umpiring abortion" -- a phrase Scalia once used (as if abortion is a sport!).
It is amply clear that the drawing is an extraterrestrial.
"'umpiring abortion' -- a phrase Scalia once used (as if abortion is a sport!)"
Antonin Scalia regards abortion as a sport to be umpired;
Nick Mason recorded an album called "Fictitious Sports";
Mason's production company produced music for the film "White of the Eye";
David Keith, star of "White of the Eye" was in the 1983 movie "Independence Day" with Kathleen Quinlan;
Kathleen Quinlan starred in "Apollo 13" as Tom Hanks' wife;
Apollo 13 also starred Kevin Bacon!
Do I win?
:p
Simon, that's why his license plate translates to "I don't give a damn." I'm sure there must be a hand gesture that goes along with ti but for the life of me I can't think what it is.
"'umpiring abortion' -- a phrase Scalia once used (as if abortion is a sport!)" --I think that calia intented that as a crack against the S. Ct. interfering in what he considers a legislative function.

Yes... I think we all got that part. ;)
Look at the couple in the first picture.
But what will we tell our spouses?

Actually, he drives a 5-series BMW. The license playe reads: SCALIAJ
