Water over the deck? (Antonin Scalia)

[Amy West]

Ah, I'm not surprised. His lack of eloquence has been demonstrated in
the past in Boston when he gave a Boston Herald reporter a chin flick
(I'm not sure of the correct label for the gesture). Afterwards, in
the discussion of his use of the gesture, he argued it wasn't crude,
etc.
