Now Scalia flipflops on confiscating reporters' tapes. Will wonders never cease? 

Yes, Scalia apologized for having his goons violate federal law (WaPo) by seizing reporters's tapes:

Justice [sic] Antonin Scalia of the Supreme Court has apologized to two Mississippi reporters who were required to erase recordings of a speech he gave at a high school there on Wednesday.

The reporters, for The Associated Press and a local newspaper, had been told by a deputy federal marshal to destroy the recordings at the end of a half-hour speech by the justice at the Presbyterian Christian High School in Hattiesburg.

The marshal cited the justice's standing policy prohibiting the recording of his remarks. The policy had not been announced at the high school.
(via NY Times)

Memo to Fat Tony: If you want to know what else to apologize for, I've got a list.

Memo to alert readers: Scalia seems to feel the need to prevent bad publicity in the press. I sure hope that doesn't signal BOHICA on the case now before the court where Dick "Dick" Cheney wants to keep his energy task force papers secret from the citizens who paid for them.
