Please note that two lawyers were listed in the above column: “Antonin Scalia, Chicago, Ill., Khalid Abdullah Tariq Al Mansour, San Francisco, Cal., for defendants-appellees.”

Did Khalid Abdulla Tariq Al Mansour have some degree of contact at various times in his life with both a future U.S. Supreme Court Justice and a future nominee for president of the Democrat Party? How many people who live and work outside of Washington, DC have had similar contact? My guess: Not many, and surely even fewer (if any) who could be described as Muslims of African descent. I wonder what other information might be available about the case in question, as well as how the attorneys for the defendants-appellees came into contact with one another.
