Justice Sanders’ non-denial no-comment was a rather strange response to the simple question of whether he had screamed “TYRANT!” at the Federalist Society dinner, but now he has admitted that he was in fact the yeller in question.
Sanders told The Seattle Times that he’d simply reached the point where he couldn’t remain silent.
“Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine there would be any mention of this in the press,” he said. “But here we are.”
I guess that’s the problem with screaming at the top of your lungs in front of 2,000 people (several hundred of whom know who you are) at a speech covered by the national press: People kinda notice.
Thanks to James Taranto for the link.
UPDATE: Justice Sanders has issued a statement about the events, via Howard.
