Justice Scalia is quite possibly the most brilliant mind in America.

[The Drowning Witch]

I wish SC justices did more of these types of things.

[alessandrofiaschi]

I agree: SCALI CJ.

[alessandrofiaschi]

I agree: SCALIA CJ.

[The Drowning Witch]

And is it just me, or does Justice Breyer sound EEIRILY like Ben Stein?

[Howlin]

In case you are interested or missed it before...

Cspan 1 2 or 3

Thanks

[Howlin]

Islamic courts? They think we should listen to what other courts do?

He actually asks why we shouldn't take into account courts that reflect "shifting world values."

[The Drowning Witch]

CSPAN 1, I believe.

[firewalk]

has to write something that sounds like a lawyer...(-:

I watched most of this the other day. Breyer says that since other courts cite U.S. cases, we should do the same, to return the favor and be nice as a world community member. It's just ridiculous that he's on the Supreme Court.

I haven't seen the C-SPAN program, but heard bites on Laura Ingraham's healthy radio addiction. I'm thrilled that this is being seen by the legions of political junkies that watch C-SPAN.

"You often join my opinions, Steven....only the good ones.."

This is a guy I wanna drink scotch and smoke cigars with.

[firewalk]

I enjoy listening to Scalia

[Howlin]

Well, am I wrong in assuming that the reason THEY cite US is because we have the best form of government going?

I mean, the countries that he must be referring to are all going to hell in a handbasket.

Scalia - "Some judges try to determine 'What is the best answer' while judges should be determining 'What does the Constitution say'" --- (I've paraphrased a lot.)

This statement, by itself, IS the differentiating factor between Lib/Activist judges and what are, IMO, "Real" judges.

Scalia also goes on to say that in their efforts to come up with the right answer (As opposed to the Constitutional accurate answer) it is wrong for them to consult with a narrow spectrum of thought and opinion (Which IMO they all too often do).

Thanks!

Breyer - "I read and I write - I'm just a Word Processor"

LOL You can say that again - problem is, in his case, there's a bug in the software.

I love Laura Ingraham. She is so sarcastic when she talks about Liberals. Her show is informative and funny.
