WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - A 20-year-old college student apparently riled Supreme Court Justice Hon. Antonin Scalia as his book tour wound through Florida.

Sarah Jeck, a political science major at Florida Atlantic University, was allowed to ask the justice a question during a packed luncheon Tuesday hosted by the Forum Club of the Palm Beaches.

She asked whether federal courts are wrong to bar video cameras since the Supreme Court allows the public to watch oral arguments in person, provides transcripts of the arguments and is known to have "Supreme Court justices going out on book tours."

The audience laughed, but not Scalia, who was promoting a new book.

He snapped back: "That's a nasty, impolite question," then provided a quick defense of the no-cameras rule.
