At any rate, you did a good job in this article. It was a pleasure to read such clear writing.
The Press Office spokeswoman just told me, minutes ago, that "Justice O'Connor did not make the text of that speech available." She also said that, "If the Southern Center had made the speech available," her office would have been informed. When I asked her whether it was routine, when Justices speak in front of the press, to make texts available for accuracy in quotations, she said, "That's up to the Justices personally."
The bottom line is that Justice O'Conner and the Southern Center for International Studies are trying to keep the wraps on this speech. I leave it to others as to why that is so. From my prior experience, not releasing the text of a public speech by a Justice is rare behavior.
