Here is the quote if anyone is interested "Scalia," Sunny said. She meant something like, "It doesn't seem like the literal interpretation makes any sense," but her siblings did not think it wise to translate. pg 268 TPP

Yes that was quite witty of Sunny but then again almost everything she says nowadays has connotations connected to it that we can almost understand what she is trying to say without Lemony's explaination.

If you don't know who Scalia is, then I hope that either (a) you don't live in the USA or (b) you are under the age of 12 - if you don't fit either of those you need to learn more about the way your government works.

And Antenora - sorry if this is a repeat. I only just finished reading the book (well - actually, listening to the audiobook) and didn't want to come here until I finished.

I just love Sunny's little words that have different meanings behind them.
