Two outsized personalities clashed at the Supreme Court on Wednesday when Justice Antonin Scalia was briefly silenced by a barbed comment from longtime Harvard Law professor and television commentator Arthur Miller. Lawyers who argue at the Court are advised that jokes often fall flat -- but this one left other justices laughing and solicited an "ooh" from spectators. And it wasn't long before Scalia had his say.

Two outsized personalities clashed at the Supreme Court on Wednesday and one of them, Justice Antonin Scalia, was briefly silenced by a barbed comment that left other justices laughing.
Longtime Harvard law professor Arthur Miller, rarely at a loss for words himself, was arguing on behalf of shareholders who want to sue companies for fraud. Miller is a frequent television commentator, prolific writer and possibly the inspiration for an abrasive professor in a popular account of life at Harvard.
