A Washington, D.C., suburbanite had trouble getting to work Tuesday, leaving a key task to the boss.
At the U.S. Supreme Court, two unanimous opinions, both written by Justice Antonin Scalia, were handed down, but Scalia was missing in action. Chief Justice John Roberts summarized the opinions from the bench because Scalia was ... stuck in traffic.
Washington traffic was a nightmare early Tuesday, the morning after smoke in a subway tunnel and train shut down a major subway line. Lots of suburbanites who normally use mass transit took to the highways instead. The result: traffic snafus all over the place making lots of drivers, including Scalia, late.
The justice came in huffing and puffing only a few minutes late and in time to hear Tuesday's oral arguments.
