The death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia may mark a turning point in the direction of the Supreme Court, but for former Rep. John J. LaFalce, it was much more personal: the loss of an old friend.
LaFalce and Scalia became friends through the National Italian-American Foundation, even though they were often on opposite sides of legal issues. "Primarily because of our mutual Italian ancestry, we became friends, usually bonding over our shared love of Italian pasta and wine," LaFalce said on Facebook after Scalia's death over the weekend at age 79.
