Supreme Court Justices Scalia and Ginsburg Discuss First Amendment At Forum

On Sunday, Gov. Rick Scott directed the flags of the United States and the State of Florida to be flown at half-staff at all local and state buildings, installations, and grounds to honor the memory of United States Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia.

Flags will remain at half-staff until sunset on the day of interment.

“I am honored to direct our flags to be flown at half-staff in memory of United States Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia,” Scott said. “He was a devoted public servant who faithfully upheld the rule of law.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.”
