Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) was in high spirits Monday, tweeting dispatches from the grounds of the U.S. Capitol to describe her view of the inauguration festivities and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s “weird hat.”
Four years ago today I began tweeting. One of my first tweets was a comment on Scalia’s weird hat.Will he wear it again? Stay tuned.

McCaskill snapped a shot of Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), whose own headwear gave “Scalia’s hat a run for its money.”
She is so seriously cool. And she’s gonna give Scalia’s hat a run for its money. twitter.com/clairecmc/stat…

Spotty cellular service at the Capitol prevented McCaskill’s tweets from going live in real time.
So frustrating. No signal during ceremony. So I’ll send my tweets now. Apologize they weren’t real time.

The senior senator from Missouri turned solemn as she shared her view of the throngs of spectators who took in President Barack Obama’s second inaugural.
My view from my seat. Makes me cry. twitter.com/clairecmc/stat…
