NATIONAL BRIEFING / AND FINALLY . . .

Two Supreme Court justices are taking theatrics out of the courtroom and into a more suitable venue. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia had nonspeaking roles in Saturday night’s production by the Washington National Opera. They were to remain on stage for nearly 90 minutes during the opening of Richard Strauss’ “Ariadne auf Naxos.”
