    THE ISSUE: Erasing reporters' recordings Opinion, The Times and Democrat
    Ironically at an event at which Scalia was delivering a speech about the U.S. Constitution, none other than a U.S. marshal forced erasure of the tape recordings of the two reporters, believing he was doing so upon the orders of Scalia. The incident produced an outcry among Scalia critics, who've had a field day with the reality of muzzling the press during a speech about the Constitution.

    In Scalia world: Beat the press, mace nation By Leonard Pitts Jr.
    These are ominous times for freedom. You might want to speak out while you still can.

    Scalia's Flawed Judgment by Stephen Gillers, The Nation
    After weeks of critical editorials, embarrassing cartoons and late-night talk-show jokes, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia issued a twenty-one-page memorandum on March 18 to explain why his January duck-hunting trip with Vice President Cheney, and his free ride to Louisiana on Cheney's plane, do not disqualify him from hearing Cheney's appeal of a case that could affect the Vice President's political future.
