WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Justice Antonin Scalia, in an interview to be shown on Sunday, defended the U.S. Supreme Court ruling's that gave George W. Bush the presidency and said he was not trying to impose his personal views on abortion.Scalia was interviewed for the CBS News show "60 Minutes," an appearance timed to coincide with the publication on Monday of the book he coauthored, "Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges."
In the past, the 72-year-old Scalia, who was appointed to the court in 1986 by President Ronald Reagan, has cited his "First Amendment right not to speak on the radio or television when I do not wish to do so."
In 2004, his security detail forced two reporters in Mississippi to erase tape recordings of a speech he gave. Scalia later apologized and said his policy was aimed at the broadcast media, not print reporters who record his speeches to write accurate stories.
Huh? But I see peeps on TV all the time yelling "turn off that camera" -- but they never turn it off. What's the call? I can't reconcile this. A Supreme Court Justice says "nay" and they have to abide --- a redneck says "nay" and who gives a damn -- next thing, Bubba's on TV -- bare-chested, pot on the coffee table, holding a beer, lighting a cig -- NOT surprised there's a cop in his effing house.
Perhaps it has to do with being "in public?" but surely his speeches are done "in public." What's the call here? Anybody have a lawyer friend?
Anyway, here's another small hint at what Justice Scalia thinks of the objective media.
And in 2006 when a Boston reporter approached him after a mass and asked whether lawyers might question his impartiality in church-state matters, Scalia flicked his fingers under his chin in a well-known dismissive gesture.
