REMEMBERING JUSTICE ANTONIN SCALIA
Mrs. BOXER. Mr. President, I want to express my deepest sympathies to
the Scalia family.
Justice Scalia was first and foremost a family man, beloved by his
wife, 9 children, and 36 grandchildren.
Since 1986 he had served on the highest court in our land. He
inspired deep loyalty among his many friends and his current and former
clerks, who remember him for his sharp wit and intellect.
He was clearly a man who rose above ideological differences with his
colleagues to forge deep friendships on the Court. That is a credit to
him.
While I may have disagreed with him on matters of law and policy, we
are united as Americans in sharing our condolences.
