So, hey Dad, what do you think of the case with....?
I am sure their secrets are safe at the firm. Now all we have to do is figure out whether there are any conflict of interests when the bench convenes.

The sons of two (click here) Supreme Court justices are working together at the
litigation giant Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.
The firm recently hired Philip Alito, the son of Justice Samuel Alito, a
spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday. He is part of the firm’s incoming fall
associate class.
He joins Eugene Scalia, the son of Justice
Antonin Scalia and former U.S. solicitor of the Labor Department, who
has been a partner at Gibson Dunn since 2003. Scalia has left and
returned to the firm several times over the years while holdings various
judicial positions....
Antonian Scalia states the USA should not INVENT new minorities. You mean like the one at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher? Oh, no. Oh, the gays. Oh, those people. Yeah, well, I think they were a minority for a long time, it ain't new. Believe me, it is as old as Cain and Able, honey.

The U.S. Supreme Court is making decisions that should be left to
Congress or the people, from wiretapping to "inventing" new classes of
minorities, Justice Antonin Scalia said Monday.
In
an apparent reference to the court's recent decisions on gay marriage
and benefits for same-sex couples, Scalia said it is not the function of
the courts to create exceptions outside the Constitution unless a
majority of people agree with them.
"It's not up to the courts to
invent new minorities that get special protections," Scalia told a
packed hotel ballroom in southwestern Montana....
Okay, so therefore what?

Americans would legalize gay marriage nationwide, favor equal rights for such unions
by Lydia Saad
PRINCETON, NJ -- If given the opportunity to vote
on a law legalizing gay marriage in all 50 states, the slight majority
of Americans, 52%, say they would cast their vote in favor, while 43%
would vote against it....
I am a little worried about Justice Scalia. First it's broccoli, then voting rights and now gay marriage. The man needs to get a grip.

We love you Justice Scalia, but, give me a break already. The politics when it is discriminatory is unbecoming. Ponder that one awhile. Hope the dinner was enjoyable.
