Taking the boy to meet Justice Scalia
For the last several years Cody and I (my son) have went to various debates and events with political figures. We have seen Ehud Barak, Ann Coulter, David Limbaugh, Alan Dershowitz, Barry Lynn (American United for the Separation of Church and State), Al Gore, Nadine Strossen (President of the ACLU), etc.
Tomorrow we are going to meet Justice Scalia. These events are always a fun time for me and Cody and spark great conversations that allow great teaching moments.
Metro Ride - $3.85
Federalist Society Membership - $50.00
Skipping work early - $100.00
Meeting your favorite Supreme Court Justice - Priceless!
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia will offer brief remarks, followed by a lively Q & A session with the audience. Each attendee will have the opportunity to meet Justice Scalia and have him sign a copy of his book.
This event is off-the-record and not open to press.

Who appointed Scalia?

Thanks, I thought so but couldn't remember for sure. I think it's great that you are spending time with your son in this way. Learning outside the classroom is good for kids sometimes.

Re: Taking the boy to meet Justice Scalia
I think that this will be a great trip to take with your son. No doubt, he will remember it the rest of his life and will tell his kids one day if the Lord tarries.

I try to do things with him that he will remember. I guess its paying off someone asked him, "Why do you want to spend so much time with your dad?" He said, "I love my dad, I like doing things with him."
He doesn't know I am aware of this conversation though.

I hope I do it right. I have a great Dad. He live in CA and I am in DC and we talk almost daily. I hope when its time for Cody to make his own life he is an adult I want to spend time with.

Do you have any daughters? If so I hope you are able to do things with her too. Girls need good male role models, and good Dad's are the best way for them to learn.
