President Ronald Reagan nominated Antonin Scalia to the US Supreme Court in 1986 to replace William Rehnquist as Associate Justice, upon Rehnquist's elevation to Chief Justice.
Justice Scalia is currently an incumbent on the bench, with a tenure (in September 2009) of thirteen years. He is the second most senior member of the Court, behind Justice John Paul Stevens, whom President Ford appointed in 1975.
Like Justice Alito, Scalia was born in Trenton, NJ, but moved to Queens, NY, at the age of five to live near Brooklyn College, where his father was a professor of Romance Languages.
Scalia graduated summa cum laude from Georgetown College in 1957, with a degree in history. He went on to attend Harvard Law School, where he worked on the Harvard Law Review, and from which he graduated magna cum laude in 1960. Scalia also earned Harvard's coveted Sheldon Fellowship, which allowed him to travel through Europe for a year after graduation.
