One theory is that Supreme Court justices are supposed to be seen and not heard. Or, put another way, read ... but neither seen nor heard.
They're supposed to be inscrutable. That's just a theory. Antonin Scalia has never had much use for it. He gives speeches. He grants interviews. He even, last year, met with the Tea Party caucus within the United State congress -- one twig on the judicial branch telling some leaves on the legislative branch, what he thinks about the way they do their jobs.
It's the Roberts court, but nobody doubts who its rock star is. Scalia is one from a handful of justices in history who seem a little bigger than their robes. On Thursday, Scalia -- the voice of hard-edged conservatism on the court -- will visit Wesleyan University, the symbol -- some would say -- of modern campus liberalism. We thought it made a nice snapshot, especially when we found out there's a musical component to the visit.
