TVewser posted today about a CBS "Scoop" that Chief Justice Roberts flipped his vote on ACA, partially scared off by the extreme line that Scalia was taking, and perhaps worried that his court's legacy would be tarred as too partisan. The "conservative" justices lobbied him furiously to switch back, led by Kennedy, and are now furious that he stayed with his affirmation. http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cbs-news-snags-supreme-court-scoop_b135932
This is all very interesting stuff - but I am wondering why they are calling it a "scoop". I have been reading about this online since the decision was announced (see, for example: http://www.volokh.com/2012/06/28/more-hints-that-roberts-switched-his-vote/). This topic got a lot of internet play over the weekend, and from what I can tell in the video from the CBS Morning Show linked by TVnewser, there is not really anything new in the CBS piece that we have not bee seeing for several days. Is there some consensus that the first televised report of a story that has previously been reported online can still be called a "scoop"? -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
