This is so touching. All the law clerks are there. All the staff from the SC are there. The SC police are the pall bearers.

A final farewell in his beloved Great Hall: Justice Scalia's widow leads mourners and the Supreme Court's eight remaining judges to pay their respects as his body lies in repose
  • Justice Antonin Scalia's family paid a silent tribute alongside fellow Supreme Court judges inside its Great Hall
  • His son, Father Paul Scalia, recited traditional prayers over the casket after its procession in Washington, DC
  • Maureen Scalia, the justice's grieving widow, appeared frail as she was escorted from the court by family members
  • Draped in an American flag, Scalia's casket was carried into the court where it will lay in repose in the Great Hall
  • Hundreds lined the streets as the towering judge's body arrived at the Supreme Court on Friday morning

The somber ceremony has only been afforded to six other Supreme Court justices before and is a testament to Scalia
