By: (AP) Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia had another confrontation with reporters Tuesday, demanding that his appearance at Catholic University of America be closed to television news crews.
Scalia, however, did allow his remarks to be broadcast on the Web.
The justice, who participated in a daylong panel with
law professors and students, discussed his concerns that judges have overreached in interpreting new rights in the Constitution.
Earlier this month, reporters were turned away from Scalia's speech to the American Council of Life Insurers in Washington, which was attributed to a misunderstanding. Scalia generally asks that his events be closed to television crews. When television journalists, including a Fox News crew, showed up Tuesday, Scalia asked that they be barred from the event.
Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said that the justice agreed to allow print media at the speech, as well as C-SPAN taping as part of more comprehensive coverage of the Catholic University event.
