Justice Scalia flips the finger in church

BOSTON, March 27 (UPI) -- U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia startled
reporters in Boston just minutes after attending a mass, by flipping a
middle finger to his critics.

A Boston Herald reporter asked the 70-year-old conservative Roman Catholic
if he faces much questioning over impartiality when it comes to issues
separating church and state.

"You know what I say to those people?" Scalia replied, making the obscene
gesture and explaining "That's Sicilian."

The 20-year veteran of the high court was caught making the gesture by a
photographer with The Pilot, the Archdiocese of Boston's newspaper.

"Don't publish that," Scalia told the photographer, the Herald said.

He was attending a special mass for lawyers and politicians at Cathedral of
the Holy Cross, and afterward was the keynote speaker at the Catholic
Lawyers' Guild luncheon
