A student wrote me, many years ago. I’m going from memory, but I think I have it.

Scalia was visiting the law school at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. A student mentioned to him, “My roommates and I bought some fish. We named one after you.” Scalia said ,”Oh, so you called him Nino, did you?” “No,” said the student. “We call him Justice Scalia.”

“Well, what about the other fish?” said Scalia. Replied the student, “Justice Scalia ate them.”

What a great guy, Antonin Scalia. Connoisseur of the opera. Lover, and singer, of the American Songbook. Master jurist.
