In a shocking end to an illustrious legal career, police arrested Justice Antonin Scalia today as he attempted to set the Supreme Court building ablaze.
Justice Scalia, who had seemed calm and composed during the announcement of two major rulings this morning, was spotted by police minutes later outside the building, carrying a book of matches and a gallon of kerosene.
After police nabbed Justice Scalia and placed him in handcuffs, the Juror appeared at peace and resigned to his fate, a police spokesman said.
Back at the Supreme Court, Justice Scalias colleagues said they hoped he would get the help he needed, except for Justice Clarence Thomas, who said nothing.

He went quietly, the spokesman said. He just muttered something like, I dont want to live in a world like this.
