The most important legal thinker of the 20th century. I hope that one day, by the grace of God, we have more justices who are guided by rigorous principles and unmatched character. Never let originalism die.
Simply one of the greatest Supreme Court Justice.
Smartest man I've ever heard speak on law and culture. God took him on His time and I mount the most feable defense ever that Scalia should have been kept for humanity. The LORD giveth, and the LORD taketh. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
One of the greatest legal minds ever to sit on the Supreme Court!!!
Two momentous events occurred in Trenton: Gen. George Washington's victory and the birth of Antonin Scalia.
Justice Scalia blessed us with his ability to discuss Constitutional Law and make it interesting and even enjoyable.
He's my role model and idol. The father of originalism. God rest his soul.
What a burn on the UN that was, that he said it was OK for it to virtue signal because of it's lack of accountability, and relevance.
The final questioner managed to annoy the Justice and he was uncompromising in his putdown. Difficult to imagine a Supreme Court Justice from the UK being so forthright in words and tone.
The answer to the last question is perfectly articulated. What is the point exactly in arguing that people then didn't mean what it means now? What they asked isn't a question, it's a backhanded statement attempting to morally posture in front of a crowd.
Noted. Thanks for the information ℹ️ 😎
Can't they manage a better camera angle??
you can read this speech in his book Scalia Speaks, p260 it is not word for word as he modifies in the moment but very close
"as a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights."
Such a loss, ..."comma, that's an Accusative Absolute, I believe..." Mensch!
My hero! Justice Scalia!
It’s just like a prophet telling what is to come. What a brilliant mind.
Usually didn’t agree with Scalia but love his ability to communicate his ideas!!
Other than my father in heaven and my biological father, this man has my utmost admiration.
Be thankful, certain coutries. This Man is part of the reason why you do what you do. And why your countries still exist.
