They were trying to show Justice Scalia could be bought/influenced by the conservative think-tank. Shades of Abramoff.
I think the bigger story should be that a 70 year old man is getting some exercise.
This story is to try to show that Scalia has more alligence to the polical right/federalist society than to impartiality. And its not just Scalia, its Thomas, Roberts, and Alito also.
The dems biggest fear is that with those four and one more down the road, the SCOTUS will un-do everthing they accomplished in the 20th century.
More Culture of Corruption we are to assume.
More than that, the left winged press is trying to imply that the modern day GOP as far back as Reagan is totally corrupt.
