"Thanks, I appreciate it. It's my plan for history to remember me solely for the body of my work on the Court, especially the venemous dissents of which I'm so fond. Recently I've found that when I take off the robe and step outside, it rarely ends well."

One clarification (that might be a result of visions and confusions on my part, but I don't think so):
Scalia has the policy. The marshall acted on her own authority, pursuant to that policy. Scalia actually had nothing to do with the specific actions - he didn't request that anyone go and get the tapes he saw being made.
The head marshall has stated that, in retrospect, he wishes it had been handled differently. But, I find it hard to believe that the reporter didn't know exactly what Scalia's policy was beforehand, anyway.
