    I’ve said it before, but there are *lots* of great opportunities for clerks outside the federal courts of appeals.

    OTD 1993, my brother and I had met with President @dick_nixon for a Halloween Summit at the Bear's Nest in Park Ridge, @NJGov. No tapes of the historic meeting survive. #Halloween

    Just when I thought @NJGov couldn't get any better, I learn of the Triple Threat--combination pizza, calzone, and garlic knot. What's not to love?

    Among many reasons to miss Justice Scalia, I always looked forward to seeing him at inauguration in his St. Thomas More style hat. #appellatetwitter cc @cjscalia @antonintscalia

    Annual reminder that Santa Claus is real. He walked the earth, gave gifts to poor children at night, and even today intercedes for us before the Throne of Heaven. Happy St. Nicholas Day!

    Love the precision of mile markers on overpasses and bridges on @NJGov turnpike—like “39.24.” No idea what possible use that information could have or who measured it, but I support it.
