        @EYLee42 Wow - I'm impressed that he was listed! But I guess times were different back then.

        @DavidLat @atlblog Not trying to be crude, but his signature just went up in value along w/ the letter.

        @DavidLat @jjauthor Seemingly small but kind-hearted, professional gesture from an ultra-conservative Scalia. RIP Justice Scalia.

        @DavidLat @atlblog I can't believe you are trying to scoop #Scalia 's heat by posting a rejection letter to Twitter. Bad form.
