…with a form letter, of course.  But at least I can assume someone there read my letter, or at least the first paragraph. I was told:

Oooh, shiver me timbers.  In any case, you may have read what Brit Hume pointed out, which makes what ABC did even worse:

ABC’s “Nightline” Monday night reported that Justice Antonin Scalia missed the John Roberts swearing in at the White House because he was playing tennis and going fly-fishing at a resort in Colorado, courtesy of the conservative Federalist Society. The report mentioned only in passing that Scalia taught a legal seminar while on the trip, then quoted at some length New York University Law professor Stephen Gillers, who said the whole thing was unethical. While “Nightline” identified the Federalist Society as conservative, it characterized Gillers only as an ethics expert.

In fact, Gillers is a left-wing Scalia critic who once described the prospect of Republican control of both the White House and Congress as a nightmare. As for Scalia, that seminar he taught in Colorado was a 10-hour course for more than 100 lawyers and law students, open to members and non-members of the Federalist Society. He received no fee for it.
