Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia spoke Thursday to an overflow crowd at the George Bush Presidential Library Center as part of the Twanna M. Powell Lecture Series. The series is an endowed program sponsored by the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation and designed to bring distinguished leaders and recognized experts to the Texas A&M campus to speak regarding major public policy issues and related topics.

“It should be interpreted as it was written – nothing more, nothing less." That is the way it should be! Whoever came up with the idea of "flexible constitution" should be deported, or if not, be defrocked as a Justice or Judge and thrown out!!!

I enjoy listening to Justice Scalia speak on the Constitution.

What I can't stand is the way the left uses the term "living document" as if it meant "alive and well." Yes, it's alive and well. And it means exactly what it did the day each article and amendment were ratified. Nothing more, nothing less.

How is this squared with the 9th amendment?

Thanks for the post; it is heartening. Why do I not expect to hear about it in the msm? Get all my news from FR. Thanks again.

The Constitution does discuss the death penalty. Life and limb, etc... I'm uncomfortable with his assertion that it doesn't.

Excellent, Justice Scalia, Excellent. You are a great, true American. You are a wonderful ally on the Supreme Court, along with Rehnquist and Thomas.

“The Constitution is not a living document. It’s a legal document, and legal documents do not change.” Hoorah for Justice Scalia! Now tell that to Mrs. Clinton, Ms. Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and the rest of the Socialist Democrats and all Progressives who want to tamper with this incredible document. The United States Constitution is Etched in Granite!

I'll bet those who subscribe to a living Constitution believe the same about the Bible. That is the reason so many who call themselves Christians promote same-sex marriage and abortion.

“The Constitution is not a living document. It’s a legal document, and legal documents do not change.”
Now, if we could just get the libs to understand this.

Scalia said Thursday during a speech at Texas A&M University that there is no such thing “as the living Constitution.” I wish I knew who said this, but I've heard that "liberals want to prove the Constitution is a living document by killing it."

“The Constitution is not a living document. It’s a legal document, and legal documents do not change.” Hehe....just so. Try to re-interpret the meaning of a subpoena or a search warrant and see what a judge has to say about it. It's amazing sometimes the level of utter BS that people will choose to believe. Well, perhaps not so amazing after all.
