The most important legal thinker of the 20th century. I hope that one day, by the grace of God, we have more justices who are guided by rigorous principles and unmatched character. Never let originalism die.

Simply one of the greatest Supreme Court Justice.

Smartest man I've ever heard speak on law and culture. God took him on His time and I mount the most feable defense ever that Scalia should have been kept for humanity. The LORD giveth, and the LORD taketh. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

One of the greatest legal minds ever to sit on the Supreme Court!!!

Justice Scalia blessed us with his ability to discuss Constitutional Law and make it interesting and even enjoyable.

Two momentous events occurred in Trenton: Gen. George Washington's victory and the birth of Antonin Scalia.

He's my role model and idol. The father of originalism. God rest his soul.

The final questioner managed to annoy the Justice and he was uncompromising in his putdown. Difficult to imagine a Supreme Court Justice from the UK being so forthright in words and tone.

The answer to the last question is perfectly articulated. What is the point exactly in arguing that people then didn't mean what it means now? What they asked isn't a question, it's a backhanded statement attempting to morally posture in front of a crowd.

What a burn on the UN that was, that he said it was OK for it to virtue signal because of it's lack of accountability, and relevance.

Can't they manage a better camera angle??

you can read this speech in his book Scalia Speaks, p260 it is not word for word as he modifies in the moment but very close

My hero! Justice Scalia!

It’s just like a prophet telling what is to come. What a brilliant mind.

Usually didn’t agree with Scalia but love his ability to communicate his ideas!!

Noted. Thanks for the information ℹ️ 😎

Such a loss, ..."comma, that's an Accusative Absolute, I believe..." Mensch!

If we strictly speaking of the laws of the constitutions, the Justice Scalia is absolutely correct and I believe this is what the constitutions for. If we have our country's constitutions, but not recognize or not follow up, why do we need it there? If a country without the constitutions, it's either the dictatorship, Terrorism or a tribe. Moreover, as the supreme Court judges, their duties are standing firmly by the laws of our own country's principles of the constitutions and interpret the case of the laws by our own constitutions only, not by public opinions, foreign countries' culture or laws, or by majority or minorities's hobbies or views, or by assuming of any reasons. It should only by America's laws of the constitutions. Because America's constitutions represents America's unique Symptoms and foundations of the Capitalism system of the natures of the liberty and entrepreneurship systems and guaranteed by our own constitutions to remain, protect and defend our country's constitutions which means that America's foundation of the Capitalism system of the liberty and entrepreneurship systems must be protected without choice and exception. Because our constitutions is our foundations of the laws for people and Government to follow. Our own country's constitutions are protective to our country's foundation, spirit symbolism of the Capitalism system of the natures of the freedoms and entrepreneurship and constitutions itself. Without the constitutions boundaries, America's foundation can be faded or eliminated, even be disappeared forever. This is why if we love America with America's patriotism and principles of America's foundation, we must strictly follow up our own constitutions to stand up and defend our country's constitutions not other ways around. Moreover over, in America, normally you can get the citizenship through 3 to 5 years and will be able to vote after that immediately. It doesn't mean anyone can recognize America's exceptionalism of the Capitalism system of the natures of the freedoms and entrepreneurship and constitutions shortly within a few years of living. Mostly their own culture and concept will still dramatically influenced. This is why America's patriotism and principles of the America's foundation of the Capitalism system of the natures of the freedoms and entrepreneurship and constitutions are extremely important to Americans. This is also why people come here. This is also why America accept immigrants to be here. However, America's successful exceptionalism through their own solid foundation and constitutions should supersedes anything else and never allowed to be faded or even eliminated or replaced by any other ideologies or other countries. Because this is the United States of America and its symbolism of the freedoms and entrepreneurship and the rules of the laws of the constitutions. Also any law abiding citizens' s privacies must be protected by law, I agree what Justice Scalia said.

Be thankful, certain coutries. This Man is part of the reason why you do what you do. And why your countries still exist.

Other than my father in heaven and my biological father, this man has my utmost admiration.

Excellent.

RIP to the honorable A. Scalia

No one in government is supposed to run the economy whether a Congressman, a group of Congressmen, a bunch of bureaucrats. This is supposed to be a free market private sector economy.

Who is the moderator?

The man has talent. He may do well.

Who sits on the throne?

Glad the scotus recently struck down the delegation of power to the EPA, finally addressing the issue of unconstitutional delegation of legislative power by Congress

Enlightened despots then? Rule of the philosopher kings with life tenure, in other words. What you'd 'rather' have is really (a) an abdication of personal responsibility and democratic duty; (b) violation of the separation of powers and therefore rule of law. What strikes you as a good idea now becomes a terrible one when reality produces judges who are not always benign or wise.

Brilliant talk with rather a sour end, the last question was too provocative and pedantic, we are an imperfect species, so we should not expect that we can produce perfect deeds from first try!

I believe scientific community had the proof that it was possible for technician to talk to the chilren soul before even 6 week that if the child want to be born or not with entangled blood and thoughts synchronization

He is missed. One of the best to do it.

Am I the only one annoyed by the kid that’s “moderating”? He’s hovering right over Scalia’s shoulders. Scalia can barely stand behind the podium to answer a question because that kid wants to be seen beside him so bad.

Judge judy spoke here

The last question exposed the main weakness of originalism.

If all about abortion and death penalty then could children had the right not to be borned in the first place because if two wrong make a right?

Justice Scalia Doctorate Of Law

Well, that was a lot of talky talk.

Then maybe we should just go back to Aristocracy If the people are just too dumb to make laws for their own society?

Thank you🙏 I will watch this later Canada, I have evidence that you looted my house. Probably my rental too. And witnesses.

Tymeline..

RIP

Sharing own opinion not i am in any wins scholarship or funds govt. I think the law is to understand the both relegion and the human well being not what people think the rekegion is about what we have for relegious of self beleif in life. If the law is served there a relegion as well not meant any relegious about sexuallity to misunderstood but the law it is. The rules is filled with all no lawyers who handling clients or anyone in the party of participating in the court. They are duty of all the jurors who cant missed out any words to look on every piece of its deacribing and explaining about the law of justice the guman being who has speaks for self law and express it freely how it does exist being himan rather be torn apart of any people who cant be there after to build back the high wall for country and for what people can walk on freely like the longest bridges with the right of law cant easily build up latest in history like any word people are uses it just an expression.

THE BIBLE SAYS to perform an abortion to see if the wife has been faithful to the husband. Maybe that exception should be written into law??

It's the old "dead constitution" argument. The difficulty with the argument re Art 8 is that those drafting it expressly placed for judicial interpretation the question of what is necessary in a democratic society.

The

European count of Human rights seems to be a joke!

A great guy n a wonderful mind...reminds me of a few tutors of mind. I do however disagree with his comparisons with European n American jurisprudence...they both have very different ideological entomology. A written constitution must be a living breathing entity otherwise what is the point u end up being stuck at the point it was created ie 1779. Thats why America has such an issue but is also the reason for its exceptionism.

Scalia has a deserved reputation, but he is intellectually much weaker than I'd hoped. If this presentation is an example of his intellectual prowess.

The spotless path pathomorphologically guide because dime unfortunately strip inside a possible bladder. classy, tall elbow

tiring of hearing his BS.

The late justice, like his followers, does a bit of hand-waving when asked about the legitimacy of the original ratification (“join a revolution”). But earlier in this same event, he cites his belief in democracy as the underlying basis for originalism despite his awareness of how undemocratic the original ratification was. He does not make a cohesive case that pursuing the original public meaning of an undemocratically ratified constitution is less democratic than a living constitution through judges appointed by democratically elected leaders. However imperfect modern democracy is, it’s drastically more legitimate than the election of the original framers and ratifiers, for whom more than half the population were ineligible to vote. Yet justice Scalia and his living disciples delegate to these illegitimate authors and ratifiers the supreme authority on whose rights should be excluded from unconditional protection.

Men list their prejudices and call it thinking. (Voltaire?). Justice Scalia is such a man. He would be better off rolling the dice as the Judge in "Gargantua and Pantagruel" Rabelais

How come then the 2nd Amendment is not interpreted according to the context of the time it was written Tony? Militias necessary to protect people from outside forces as they had been used in fighting the Hessians and British of the 18th century(?), not gangster-minded "folk" wielding automatic or excuse me semi-automatic weapons in America and every US household able to store an arsenal. This guy is annoying and dangerous and we should never forget he was a prominent player who gave us Dubya by fiat in 2000 in a supposed democracy - the USA - whose ruling was then disallowed by SCOTUS for any American court from ever using it as a legal precedent.

smart man obviously....but his worship of "originality" is lacking. This constitution he heralds in its original form was constructed when human beings where used as slaves and treated as such. So his clamoring for respect of the original text of the constitution at a time when said text was immersed in racism, and behavior among Americans was deeply seeped in hatred and viciousness towards non whites (esp Black Africans), is incorrect I believe. Yes, judges should NOT make law but their rulings set precedent that's obeyed and enforced as Law. Plus Scalia contradicts himself when he agrees with both the majority and the dissent in Plessy v Ferg, AND agrees with Brown v Board. He recognizes the ambiguity in the law that advocates "separate but equal" which allows him side with the majority in Brown but then says the text should remain in its original form. I think he sort of abdicates his "JOB" as a jurist when he tries to divorce himself from the societal ramifications of court decisions.
