quote: Originally posted by Odin A constitution must be a "living document" if it wants to survive, If it is not it will become obsolete as society changes. The flexibiliy given by the Interstate Commerce clause, the Elastic clause, and the 9th (Roe v. Wade) and 10th Amendments make the Constitution flexible enough to survive for over 200 years.

it is a living document, get 75% of the country to agree on something and amend the constitution. or call a constitutional convention,etc but the point is, you need more then 5 people to agree to change a document that effects 300 million.

Wouldn't even need %75, just %50 + in 3/4s of the state legislatures. But Scalia does what he condemns, he joins with at least 4 other members of the court to re-write the Constitution.

Berz is probably all hung up about a decision or two that did not go his way, while the vast majority of the man's decisions, plus his written decisions, plus his public statements all support a non-activist viewpoint.

That should be of course:

" A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. "

I think the second word, that you conveniently omitted, changes the entire meaning of the quote.

He joked that if judges could interpret the Constitution's goals as set out in the preamble without being bound by the document's full text, ``bye, bye Fourth Amendment. The best way to ensure tranquility is to allow unreasonable searches and seizures. We will have a tranquil society.''

That's a bit different than your quote, wouldn't you say?

I searched for Scalia quotes and found that. I didn't cut and paste it from an original source.

Plus, even if you are right, that's far from the worst of his quotes. The point still stands that the man is a bigot and unfit to be a judge, let alone a Supreme Court Justice.

Actually your interpretation of his statement is. Gay marriage (which effects a minute percentage of the population) vs the 4th amendment (which effects every single American).

bigot: yes
unfit to be a judge: no


Sava, have you ever actually read a Scalia opinion? Not just a cut/paste job on someone's blog, but the actual text?
