The Originalists

February 14th, 2016

If men were angels, no government would be necessary. Antonin Scalia, as always, needs no government.

I like to think that somewhere, Antonin Scalia is having a grand ‘ole time with James Madison and the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the members of the conventions that ratified the first Ten Amendments, plus the Radical Republicans from 1868 who ratified the 14th Amendment. For once, I think he would indulge in post-enactment legislative history.

Rest in peace Justice Scalia. Your memory will live on for generations through your opinions.
