On the passing of Justice Scalia
No, I have no special connection to the last Justice Scalia. No, I was not a big fan of his opinions (and, more accurately, his many dissents). However, I learned long ago to read his opinions and dissents. He was a brilliant legal scholar, a literate writer, and a debater to be feared.
Over the past couple of years in the DLP program, we studied many of Justice Scalia’s dissents and opinions. The dissents were always more fun.
Here are some links to quotes from the great mind, now silenced.

Okay, then, things are changing. Like my thesis. I have to ponder a different reality, but one thing is for sure: Neenah Estrella-Luna, Ph.D. was right: The thesis you write may not be the one you planned to write.
Yeah, I’m down with that.
More later.
