Supreme Court Honors Antonin Scalia by Draping His Courtroom Chair in Black Tapestry
WASHINGTON (TheBlaze/AP) — Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia’s courtroom chair has been draped in black to mark his death as part of a high court tradition that dates to the 19th century.
He sat to the right of Chief Justice John Roberts, the seat given to the senior justice.
The entrance to the marble courtroom and the mahogany bench in front of Scalia’s chair also have been draped with black wool crepe.
In addition, the flags on the court’s front plaza will fly at half-staff in Scalia’s honor for the next 30 days.
Scalia died Saturday at age 79. He joined the court at the appointment of former president Ronald Reagan in 1986 and was its longest-serving justice.
Funeral plans still had not been released as of Tuesday morning.
(But no time was wasted in embalming Scalia nor in cremating his body - all accomplished reportedly within 24 hours. Scalia's attending physician's office reported Scalia was in good health, so why did Scalia's wife report that he had serious heart issues, thus leading the public to believe the story that Scalia had a heart attack? And why was the body immediately disposed of and an autopsy refused - though the hole above his heart had already been noted and disclosed - the same hole typically left behind when an assassination has been done with a CIA heart attack gun.)
