putting scalia on the record
the guardian (and others) are picking up an ap story about reporters being ordered to erase recordings of a speech given by supreme court justice antonin scalia.
scalia is a big fan of the constitution…
supreme court justice antonin scaliaThe Constitution of the United States is extraordinary and amazing. People just don’t revere it like they used to.
he also seems to think that he is above the office. as a public official (appointed by reagan in 1986), he should be on the record.
i guess the problem is that scalia knows what happens when he is on the record – he recently ran into a bit of trouble for some things that were on the record and some people think might have influenced his perspectives on a case (or two…).
no record, no trouble, eh?
not in my america.
