2. Please elaborate. What venue are you talking about?

4. On Cspan1.. Scalia is at the AEI "supposed;ly" answering questions

posed by students.. If you ask a hard question, he ridiclues, you, ignores you and then asks to have you removed.

6. Scalia ,on CSpan, was talking to

(I guess) Cato institute about international influence on US decisions
(he's against it - ha)
I tuned out, but I'm guessing that one of the questions from the peanut gallery wasn't 'sanctioned'.

13. Info 101

Scalia addressed an event sponsored by the American Enterprise Institute, apparently held in their basement press room.

The topic seemed to be "International Law".
Apparently the AEI "screener" did a lousy,left wing,job on the students who were invited.

They went after him from the opening bell of the Q & A. The microphone was yanked from the hands of at least three questioners before their question was completed.

Scalia refused to answer at least two questions he deemed ("irrelevant! Next?")not worthy and one young male student was physically ejected from the room after invoking the name of the CATO Institute and linking it with Nazism.

14. Thank you so much!

9. Old Scalia really packed them in too.

If it wasn't for AEI staffers being forced to attend there wouldn't be anyone but press and dissidents.
