A book tour, without the book

By Mark Obbie

ADVERTISEMENTS
The Post's Bob Barnes, with a gracious nod to Tony Mauro's earlier report, expands on the Scalia-as-media-debutante theme in this story today that's pegged to yesterday's C-SPAN telecast of the justice's meeting with high school students. Barnes notes that Scalia never bothered to plug his book -- the ostensible reason for his charm offensive -- and adds this depressing reality check on any hopes that greater openness signals a thaw in the cameras debate:
Even yesterday, he repeated his opposition to allowing cameras at the court's oral arguments, because he said the clips shown by the media would not accurately represent what happened there. "Why should I participate in the mis-education of the American people?" he replied to his student questioner.
That's certainly a crabbed view of what it means to allow the press greater access. But at least Scalia is mixing it up with the public, and allowing cameras -- albeit selectively -- to show his engaging personality and mind at work.
