Dead horse? Would talking about the jefferson-adams election of 1800 be beating a dead horse? It's history, and it's interesting to talk about history, particularly when new info lets you see things from a new perspective.

However, I admit I don't make much of the Scalia interview--it may have been the case that the interviewer said something stupid like "Justice Scalia, why did you feel like you had to intervene in the election?" If that's the case, then Scalia's response is perfectly reasonable.
