WASHINGTON, DCSupreme Court sources say the 'Third Circuit anecdotes' told by newest associate justice Samuel Alito are irritating his colleagues. 'This morning, he told us how the Third Circuit judges write their opinions at home,' Justice Clarence Thomas said. 'I don't care what they do on the Third Circuit, Justice Alito should compose his opinions in the office.' Sources say Alito also has 'an annoying habit of mentioning that he was the editor of his high-school yearbook.'
