Antonin Scalia’s son, Christopher, appreciated the respect shown by SCOTUS justices in attendance:
Justices never clap, let alone stand, during speeches to joint session, but they did for my mom. Beautiful. pic.twitter.com/JYDNzBtOdE

A beautiful moment indeed.
In this setting, the Justices paid your Mother the Highest Honor that they can. Well deserved in every respect, You have a great Mother. https://t.co/7QAQRN6AVC

@boreallady I am very liberal and I disagreed with him, but your father was beyond brilliant. I'm very sorry for your loss.
