The term that I clerked for Justice Scalia was very contentious, especially because the Court was expected to overrule Roe in Planned Parenthood v. Casey. I recall discovering with alarm that the Justice's address and home phone number were listed in the local phone book. (For you youngsters, that was a big book distributed annually to all households.) When I told him that I was concerned for his safety, he shrugged and said something like, "How else are my kids' friends going to be able to get in touch with them?" (That could explain including the phone number, but not the address.)

My father’s confirmation hearings were 40 years ago! I share some memories about that summer and some thoughts about what has changed in @NRO.
