De mortuis nil nisi bonum.And wicked me, how did I respond? I laughed.
Of the dead, speak only good.
Antonin Scalia is dead.
Good.
After my first reflexive thought that I was relieved Scalia was dead, I collected myself and wrote the following on my Facebook page:
What I think and what I feel about the death of Justice Scalia is not entirely within my control, but what I say publicly is. My private and now my public prayer: May Antonin Scalia rest in peace. May God give comfort and consolation to all who love him.My statement after I collected myself was genuine, as was my first thought and my spontaneous laughter at my friend's post. Sometimes we just do the best we can.
Feel compassion for Justice Scalia's loved ones (inc Our RBG). I wish Scalia had felt more compassion from his exalted bench, but then again, we ALL need more compassion. RIP.*
