Marshal Defends Erasure of Scalia Speech

"During (Cheif Justice Antonin) Scalia's speech Wednesday in Hattiesburg about the Constitution, a woman who identified herself as Deputy Marshal Melanie Rube demanded that a reporter for The Associated Press erase a digital recording of the justice's comments.

The reporter, Denise Grones, initially resisted, but later showed the deputy how to erase the recording after the officer took the device from her. Rube also made a Hattiesburg American reporter erase her tape.

The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press said Thursday that the deputy violated the law and ``the fundamental tenets of press freedom.'' "

Scratch another freedom off the list.
