Known as a close friend of Antonin Scalia, Foster travelled on a private jet with the late Supreme Court Justice to Cibolo Creek Ranch, where Scalia was last seen alive.

Although several members of the Order were present with their wives, Scalia was not a member and the weekend was a social/hunting occasion for admirers of the late Justice. Presidio County, Texas sheriff Danny Dominguez reported that Foster and the other members of the order insisted he had no authority in conducting an investigation of Antonin Scalia's death on February 12, 2016, because that authority was vested in the U.S. Marshals assigned to Justice Scalia.
