In a mind-numbing twist of irony, the tape recordings of two reporters were erased at a speech by Justice Antonin Scalia, at which he said, “The Constitution of the United States is extraordinary and amazing. People just don’t revere it like they used to.” … Apparently, Mr. Justice Scalia longs for the good old days, before the First Amendment was added.

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Those pesky amendments. It’s just no fun squashing the 4th Estate anymore. Anybody think maybe Scalia is almost as crazy as King George? … Me oui, Josephine, I am as sane as you! … no no, I am not a justice, I am Napoleon! … Methinks we’re gonna need a bigger net, mon ami.
