In reply to the discussion: Tweet: "Scalia should forget the black robe and simply wear his white hood to court." [View all]canuckledragger
(1,992 posts)40. I learned about that incident after a movie was made about it my hometown
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0162735/
A friend of mine got work as an extra in that movie...they used my hometown in Kingston, Ontario for some of the filming locations on account of all the old limestone and other vintage architecture.
Been a while since I seen it though, I didn't know it was based on real events (or possibly forgot altogether till i seen it posted here)

Actually, if it were expanded to all the states that would make the suit moot

Considering the history of Italian-Americans in The USA - that tweet is ridiculous

No, it's ridiculous to imply that Italian-Americans (or any other group) can't be racist. (nt)
