The Los Angeles Times has a good article on the confiscation of reporters’ tape recordings at a speech given by Justice Scalia.
Money quote:
Soon after Scalia entered the gym, a marshal told a TV reporter to stop recording. The justice spoke to the assembly of students, faculty and parents about the importance of the Constitution.
The Constitution protects the rights of all, he said, according to a reporter’s account. It is a “brilliant piece of work. People just don’t revere it like they used to,” he said.
Indeed.
