Supreme Court Prepares for Inspection by Justice Scalia
In the wake of yesterday's post about scaffolding going up at the Gartin Justice Building, which is home to the Mississippi Supreme Court, several people emailed with the story. Apparently, the scaffolding is related to pressure washing the building in anticipation for an upcoming dedication where U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia will appear. 
The fact that it's turkey season in Mississippi and Justice Scalia likes to hunt is, by all accounts, not a coincidence. That the dedication is happening several years after the judiciary moved into the building is a bit odd. But I presume that is because the overall project was not completed until…..well I'm not sure when.
In any event, the prospects of Justice Scalia pairing a hunting trip with an appearance at the dedication reminds me of the MASH episode where the 4077 prepares for General MacArthur to visit. As the General's car speeds through town, the only thing that the busy General sees is Klinger dressed as the Statue of Liberty.
