Not outrageous at all! ???

Yes it is outrageous - and illegal - immoral - and he deserves full impeachment for this travesty.

Who does he think he is? Czar? Clinton? Reno? or Bush?

Time to re-enact what our forefathers did for their freedom and re-create the United States of America - a REPUBLIC.

I have lived in communist dictatorships and I have no desire to live under a fascist dictatorship.

You're directing your vitriol at the wrong judge. Just for your information, a US marshall was the person who made the reporter erase the tape, not the judge himself.

But here, if you want to trash a Supreme, this is the one to go after:

"I suspect," O'Connor said, according to the Atlanta daily, "that over time we will rely increasingly, or take notice at least increasingly, on international and foreign courts in examining domestic issues."
Doing so, she added, "may not only enrich our own country's decisions, I think it may create that all important good impression."

These are the words from a Supreme Court Justice who has SWORN AN OATH to uphold the Constitution of the United States!

Please write today to your Congressmen and tell them that they must REIGN IN these OUT OF CONTROL activist Judges. (Read MORE FOR FULL ARTICLE)

Scalia doesn't deserve impeachment. He didn't do anything. Scalia can certainly have a policy of refusing to be video taped or audio taped while speaking. If someone tries to tape him in a public place, then he has the option of simply not speaking. If someone tries to tape him on private property, they can either be refused entrance or ordered to leave if they persist.

But in this case there was no prior announcement of a restriction on taping by the owners of the property. Hence the jounalists were perfectly within their rights to videotape Scalia, and they could continue to do so until the property owners (the College) told them to stop or face ejection.

The federal marshals had no authority to demand a halt to the videotaping, since they did not represent the College. And they certainly had no authority to demand erasure of the tapes. That was coercion under color of authority. Those individual marshals should be fired; if they don't understand the law and the limits on their power better than that, they don't qualify for their positions. The journalists should also be able to sue the marshals and the federal government for multi-million dollar damages (except that the federal government probably won't permit such lawsuits).

I wouldn't go that far, but he seriously needs to rethink his policy regarding recordings of publics speeches.

I still hope he's our next Chief Justice.
