Antonin Scalia: Paragon of Free Speech

19 Mar 2003 by Scott Upton

Scalia requests ban on broadcast media at talk:

C-SPAN, the cable television network popular with political junkies and insomniacs, is outraged that the City Club of Cleveland has banned broadcast media from covering today’s speech by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Especially galling, says C-SPAN, is that Scalia is coming to the club to collect its Citadel of Free Speech Award. (emphasis added)

God bless those Supreme Court judges… They really know how to do irony.

Well yeah, it's ironic on the face of it, but he's not talking about preventing anyone else's speech from being broadcast, just his own. That should be his perogative, shouldn't it?

Please explain how this is ironic? He is not preventing anyone's freedom of speech.

It is his choice whether he wants to be on TV or not.
