The Supreme Court can sometimes seem like an unsentimental place, and Monday was one of those times.

Two justices, John Paul Stevens, and Antonin Scalia, were not even on the bench for the occasion.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who will soon become the only woman left on the high court, seemed more forlorn than usual, and O’Connor herself seemed somber. But other than that it was just another day.
