...then came the main event. Antonin Dvorak’s “Cello Concerto in B minor,” featuring Koh’s solo performance, was undoubtedly the highlight of the evening. Truly a vessel for the music, Koh moved with the orchestra and with the conductor, his closed eyes suggesting deep emotion and intense concentration etched across his face. Koh moved his arms with fluidity and athletic agility, his fingers nimbly scaling up and down the fingerboard of his cello to produce a rich, deep, and confident sound that swirled upward to the top of Sanders...
...Justices are polite in conference, the muzzles come off when they set pen to paper. For many years, the sharpest tongue on the Supreme Court belonged to Justice Antonin Scalia, whose stinging, highly quotable and sometimes quite personal dissents made him a hero to conservatives back when they weren't winning all the time.

...Things could have turned out a lot worse for friends of McCain-Feingold, because three justices - Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Anthony Kennedy - wanted to go farther than Roberts and Alito by reversing the 2003 decision and striking down all the statute?s restrictions on ads, including the ban on ads advocating a specific candidate shortly before an election...
