Very rare invitation to the 26 September 1986 investiture ceremony of Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist and Associate Justice Antonin Scalia, one of the rare occasions where two Justices were sworn-in on the same day. Earlier in the day at the White House, Scalia took the Constitutional Oath from retiring Chief Justice Warren Burger, and then later, at the investiture, the Judicial Oath from incoming Chief Justice William Rehnquist, who had been sworn in only minutes before. Scalia is therefore the only Justice to take oaths from two different Chief Justices on the same day. Invitation card features an embossed gilt Supreme Court seal at top, and original Supreme Court envelope. Card measures 6'' x 4.5''. Near fine condition.
