Wednesday round-up

Justice Scalia continued to make headlines yesterday. The Associated Press (via The (Columbus, Ind.) Republic) provides additional coverage of the Justices recent interview with Thomson Reuters (which Kiran covered in Tuesdays round-up); among other things, the Justice disclosed that it enrages him when people refer to the Court as politicized. The Hill has five key takeaways from Jeffrey Toobins forthcoming book on the Court, including Toobins portrayal of Justice Scalia as increasingly cranky and partisan and infuriated with Chief Justice John Roberts over the [C]ourts recent decisions on healthcare and immigration; the Associated Press (via The Washington Post) also provides coverage of Toobins book. At The Wall Street Journal (subscription required), David Shapiro reports on Justice Scalias recent speech at the New York Athletic Club. And the website of William & Mary Law School reports that the school recently celebrated the Justices contributions during a visit in which Justice Scalia taught a class, fielded questions from students and faculty and received the Law Schools Marshall-Wythe Medallion.
