El Nino struck again yesterday, according to the Associated Press: Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia forced two journalists to destroy recordings of a speech he gave at a Mississippi high school:
HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) — Two reporters were ordered Wednesday to erase their tape recordings of a speech by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia at a Mississippi high school.
Last year, Scalia was criticized for refusing to allow television and radio coverage of an event in Ohio in which he received an award for supporting free speech.
“The Constitution of the United States is extraordinary and amazing. People just don’t revere it like they used to,” Scalia told a full auditorium of high school students, officials, religious leaders.
