An e-mail:

My colleagues here at ” Alito hearing volunteer headquarters” on the Hill have become as addicted as I am to the “Corner” this week as I’ve read posts throughout the day all week long. I can’t tell you how much we loved the “tunnel of love” post on the Corner and on Bench Memos this morning. We howled over it. Just to keep you entertained, I thought you’d want to see the latest from the Judge’s groupies.
When Alito left Dirksen moments ago, he surprised us all by stopping and signing autographs for all the kids for several minutes. As the cameras rolled, the Judge displayed just how kind and down-to-earth he is by joking with the kids who begged him to stay “just one more day” since they were having “so much fun.” His response, “In the interst of survival, I think not.”
When do you think he’s ever signed signatures before? The Boss would be proud.
