Interview: Scalia in uncompromising form
The How Appealing blog links to the law in action broadcast. BBC reports:
Law in Action has a rare, extended interview with Antonin Scalia, the most outspoken and acerbic of Justices on the US Supreme Court.
In a wide-ranging discussion, he defends his often controversial positions on issues like Guantanamo Bay, argues that torture may be legal and attacks the "sick" practice of televising trials.
Justice Scalia is often described as the most conservative member of the court – but it’s a charge he denies.
Instead, he says he’s an "originalist," which means he interprets the text of the US Constitution as it was written.
