say what you will about his law but he wrote some of the the best lines ever to come out of the court :patriot:

Wabaunsee County v. Umbehr, dissenting posted:

Scalia played the game of constitutionalism according to its rules and revealed it in all of its unjust horror. God save the Queen

justice scalia believed in the people, he believed if the laws were truly a source of injustice then the people would act to get them and even the constitution changed

That's a stretch. Stalin largely served his own interests. He had no interest in preserving the foundation upon which his country was built. Justice Scalia did.
