Tidbit:
Two weeks ago, Solicitor General Elena Kaganm a leading contender for appointment to the Supreme Court, presented her sixth argument there. She bantered easily with the justices, and she seemed to have a special rapport with Justice Antonin Scalia, at one point responding to a question from him with one of her own.
Justice Scalia’s reply suggested she had crossed a line. “Well, I’m not making the argument,” he said, declining to answer her question.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., who has had some testy exchanges with Ms. Kagan over the last seven months, made the point more sharply.
“Usually we have the questions the other way,” he said.
“I apologize,” Ms. Kagan replied.
Well, also, Thurgood Marshall used to call her Shorty. There's that.
