Interesting Quotes: Justice Antonin Scalia


“The due process clause has been distorted so it’s no longer a guarantee of process but a guarantee of liberty. But some of the liberties the Supreme Court has found to be protected by that word - liberty - nobody thought constituted a liberty when the 14th Amendment was adopted. Homosexual sodomy? It was criminal in all the states. Abortion? It was criminal in all the states.”

“The way to change the Constitution is through amendments approved by the people, not by judges altering the meaning of its words."

Basically he doesn't in the idea of a “living constitution”.
