I’m not sure of her context there, since someone who visited with him often is likely to have shared his famous sense of humor. But collegiality among political or philosophic opposites, a lost Churchillian art, is so rare these days as to be worthy of notice, and example.

I have been privileged to have dinner with Justice Thomas on multiple occasions. I can tell you for certain he loved Scalia more, and certainly didn’t just see him as a vote.
