His view of the role of American jurisprudence was alarming, even frightening, in that he didn't see the Constitution as a living, evolving document. Setting your watch back 200 years, does not help the people, nor does it fulfill the intent of the Framers, who in their Preamble sought to "establish a more perfect Union for themselves and their posterity/They clearly had future generations, living in a very different reality from their own, in mind, and made room in their prose for things they couldn't possibly imagine. Scalia had an encyclopedic knowledge of the Constitution, but in his application of its words, he was deliberately myopic, and exclusionary, IMO. |
