Justice Antonin Scalia's remarks at the Acton Institute's 7th anniversary dinner 

@ Maria A. I had the complete wrong impression of him when he was alive. He is a pleasure to listen to - such a brilliant mind and with so much wit!

Likewise. I can only share this with my kids, and it’s working.

I was lucky enough to have found him(on the internet) a few years before he was murdered. A great loss for mankind. One of the few irreplaceable intellects in history. Milton Friedman is also on that list.

I was so sad when he passed away.

I literally had the same thought. My loss, too. 🤧

@@operationmockingbird216 Scalia would be the first to ask for the evidence as I am sure his family did.

Over 36,000 now. Should be more by at least a few factors. With a media likes ours, never.

What of Kavanaugh? An originalist?

@@arinzedike9693 To be honest I think he is a Originalist but nowhere near Scalia. But then again Very Few Wil be near Scalia. So it's a unfair comparison. Gorsuch is a charming Man with a easy way about him. A kind of man's man and woman's man. Good looking, soft spoken and charming with that point where you don't want to get his back up. (But he's big on precedent. As circuit Court judge he had 97% in that regard). He's a bit of a charmer that has kissed the Blarney stone as they say. Nothing wrong with that. That's why, I suspect, his nomination was relatively easy. Scalia was wonderful with his humour and an eloquent writer, speaker and his straightforward approach to complex problems. Simply a genius. But he didn't think twice about Dissenting when he thought it was warranted. Kavanagh I suspect is somewhere in between. I've read his opinions (not all Obviously). He's not overly eloquent but very proficient. He's not an admirable writer but more than competent. He is Big on Due Process. It's a "horses for cources" thing is suppose. He's Fair and Straightforward with a Great Mind. One cannot ask for much more. I'll Always be a Scalia fan but has a soft spot for Gorsuch. But I also like Kagan a Lot! Kavanagh is a family Man and will be great at the Supreme Court.

@@thegulagarchipelago5921 thank you for this clarification, brother.

@@arinzedike9693 My Absolute pleasure. And it's just my opinion...😁

@@thegulagarchipelago5921 Could not agree more! Glad I am not the only one to have analyzed Gorsuch and Kavanaugh obsessively lol.

What a loss in his passing...God bless his soul.

What a great guy Scalia was. A blessing to the nation!

Damn, that beard...

You wont find one, that's because the constitution was written for a Republican Democracy, not a Globalist corporation led coalition.

i don't remember him claiming the US Constitution was the first, only that it was the best. The Magna Carta reads like kindergarten speech compared to the Constitution, so what if you got to say 'first, lawl xd' in the metaphorical youtube comments section of history.

You don’t have a written constitution. You have an unwritten constitution. That’s why you made the mistake of surrendering your sovereignty to Europe for a brief period of time.

Been a country, we've been a nation for much longer and a people longer even.

The countrys the veener not the thing.

junior torres ?

Well, if it was intended to be in such a way then the founding fathers would have made it so.

*Danni* Opinions are like noses, everyone has one. Your opinion can become the way it is done by changing the Constitution. Thankfully we had intelligent men writing the Constitution who were forward thinking. It is a shame they didn't forbid women from being judges.

Your idea assumes the sitting judges will veto or accept based SOLELY on the appointed judges credentials and will not display favoritism or politics into their decision. The most obvious result will be a liberal court will always remain a liberal court and a conservative court will always remain a conservative court. One can always find a flaw, or interpret a flaw.

Precisely why founders wanted only originalism as means of interpretation. So it doesn’t matter who appoints the judges.
