“They don’t make ’em that way anymore”: Sam Alito on Nino Scalia
Conclusion: “'after our interview, we repaired to the far corner of his office, which included a view of the capitol and a bookcase shrine cluttered with philadelphia phillies memorabilia: signed balls, framed trading cards, a letter from the great pitcher Robin Roberts. I asked who Alito’s baseball hero was growing up, and he pointed to a photo of himself, taken when he was a 43-year-old appellate judge and decked out in a Phillies uniform, next to the Hall of Fame center fielder Richie Ashburn, at Phillies Phantasy Camp.
“When I mentioned that my baseball hero was Tom Seaver, the power pitcher who lifted the New York Mets from lovable losers to World Series champions, my host replied with a comment that he might have applied to Scalia, as well.
“They don’t make ’em that way anymore,” Alito said.
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2026/02/10/samuel-alito-interview-antonin-scalia-legacy-roe-dobbs-00762652This interview of Alito by James Rosen was so intimate that I had to look up Rosen's background. His name was familiar, but the article was in politico, which is hardly what I'd call a trusted source. And yet, Alito and Rosen are clearly old friends.
Rosen has had a legendary career, AND he was chased out of Fox news by nameless me-too hoaxers, whose fakery was repeated, third-hand, by npr fake news reporter David Folkenflik.

They sure don't. That's because "they" aren't around anymore(not a joke).

Did Scalia have any family? There was never even a hint of an investigation into his murder. Similar situation with Andrew Breitbart, who was stupid enough to dine with his political enemies, and died abruptly shortly thereafter. I suppose Andrew's heirs are happy with the income generated by his site, even though it's become a laughingstock megaphone for the current administration.

RM: "Did Scalia have any family?"
When someone asked him how many kids he had, Scalia responded, "Enough to field a baseball team."
And yet, none of his brood cast any aspersions upon his pillow.
