I had actually opened the window for this post at around 3:00, and it sat open on my desktop for several hours until I had a chance to formulate a reply (following research to find out if the quote had actually been said). In retrospect, i should have hit refresh before comosing my response -- and i apologize for not doing so. I’ll offer an apology, but not exactly for what you think I should be apologizing for.

It had been the way it is now since 3 p.m. yesterday. According to this you didn't comment until 11:43 p.m., at least 8 hours after it had been corrected. You need to admit that you didn't read all the way and just made assumptions. You owe me an apology. Yes, it was RwR. It had been the way it is now since 3 p.m. yesterday.

What Justice Scalia ACTUALLY said was that he would have dissented from the majority in Plessy v. Ferguson, and would have joined in the elder Justice Harlan's dissent in that case which presaged the decision in Brown by six decades. I'm curious -- will you folks be responsible and correct this post, or will you follow cassandra's dictum that lies about your ideological enemies are just hunky-dory if they serve the political purpose of harming those opponents? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/27/scalia-on-brown-v-board-o_n_335591.html http://politicalwire.com/archives/2009/10/27/scalia_would_have_voted_to_keep_school_segregation.html http://balkin.blogspot.com/2009/10/justice-scalia-comes-clean-on-brown-v.html You folks got it as wrong as some did on the Obama thesis last week.

Scalia would be fine with that too, I guess. I was looking for an old photograph of a New York City shop with a sign in the window that said, “No Italians Allowed”.
