"Kevin Walsh of the University of Richmond School of Law writes:
'The twitterverse is alive with tweets about Justice Scalia’s headgear for today’s inauguration. At the risk of putting all the fun speculation to an end . . . The hat is a custom-made replica of the hat depicted in Holbein’s famous portrait of St. Thomas More. It was a gift from the St. Thomas More Society of Richmond, Virginia. We presented it to him in November 2010 as a memento of his participation in our 27th annual Red Mass and dinner.'"
Fr. Z then comments:
"Wearing the cap of a statesman who defended liberty of church and integrity of Christian conscience to the inauguration of a president whose policies have imperiled both: Make of it what you will."

This picture is priceless isn't it; just great. I didn't watch. I really can't watch Mr. Obama. But I somehow saw Chief Justice Roberts end swearing in. It appeared CJ Roberts stepped back as it also appears Mr. Obama was ready to turn a handshake into an embrace. That would be extreme gratitude to Mr.Roberts for 'saving' ObamaCare.
