University of Pennsylvania first-year Dana Rehnquist recently reminisced about the off-the-bench personality of her grandfather, Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist. You may have heard that was a trivia buff and a tennis player. New to us? He was a big "Old School" fan, and that's not referring to schools of Constitutional interpretation. Seeing as how he added the gold stripes to his robe after seeing Gilbert and Sullivan's "Iolanthe," guess all the associate judges are just lucky he didn't have time to implement his "throw-a-cinder-block-attached-to-your-genitals-off-the-roof" initiation prank. Of course, Thomas probably would have been into it.
