Justice Scalia wears replica of St. Thomas More's hat to inauguration...

[JimR-OCDS]

He's what I make of it:

A Supreme Court justice is so corrupt he is actually espousing a politically view openly in public.

So much for the impartiality of the judiciary.

St. Thomas More would be appalled.

True.

He would've been more credible wearing a propeller hat.

Guys, those hats are part of the traditional and rarely worn judicial regalia. It isn't anything new. Scalia probably just wore that one because he received it as a gift.

Yes. St. Thomas wore that style of cap because all lawyers at the time wore that style as they did for centuries before and hence.

Scalia, to his credit, was simply wearing a rather traditional judical hage given the cold outdoor weather. The St. Thomas More stuff is a little silly.

he looks like martin luther.

Maybe the Church can do to him what it did to Luther...
