Last week, the Rehnquist Center hosted an event of national import at the College of Law, when Justices Scalia and Breyer discussed their respective approaches to interpreting the Constitution to a live television audience of 500 at the Leo Rich Theatre in Tucson. The event was well-covered locally and throughout the state, as well as on blogs and in national newspapers. Representative coverage can be found here:
