Scalia
Fascinating interview with Justice Scalia at Uncommon Knowledge.
Part 1 - The importance of oral arguments and engagement of ideas.
Part 2 - "My law is dead law." For the "living Constitutionalists every day is a new day."
Part 3 - The temptations of the "living" Constitution. "By trying to make the Constitution do everything that needs doing from age to age, we shall have caused it to do nothing at all."
Part 4 - "It is the job of progressives to keep on making mistakes and the job of conservatives to keep them from being corrected" - Chesterton. Stare decisis.
Thanks David.
