Court - Justice Scalia debates ACLU president - available on C-Span

I watched this last evening and I thought it was outstanding!

Yahoo has the AP story about the debate, along with a brief clip (click on the label "Scalia Defends Positions in TV Debate").

Watch the entire 65 minute debate here at C-Span - this link leads directly to the video. Both Justice Scalia and American Civil Liberties Union president Nadine Strossen present their positions well. Notably, they call each other by their first names throughout the debate.

The AP story concludes:

Scalia, who has at times had a prickly relationship with the media, agreed to have C-SPAN televise Sunday's event live — a more recent accommodation as the court begins to show greater signs of openness under Roberts.
