JUSTICE ANTONIN SCALIA -- RIP

I think it best at this time to let the Republican Party morn the death of one of its most important political leaders - Antonin Scalia; however, I give a neutral reference to a compendium of his sayings with one quote below:

“The interpretive philosophy of the ‘living constitution’ – a document whose meaning changes to suit the times, as the Supreme Court sees the times – continues to predominate in the courts, and in the law schools. Indeed, it even predominates in the perception of the ordinary citizen, who has come to believe that what he violently abhors must be unconstitutional.”
— Antonin Scalia, Forword to Originalism: A Quarter-Century of Debate, 43 (Steven G. Calabresi, ed. Regnery Publishing 2007).
