re: #12 Obdicut
Ace, I know you like Scalia, but this is a strange place to be defending him.
Take this comment of his:
Obviously, the Supreme Court has repeatedly interpreted the 14th amendment to include sex discrimination, so his comment is, at the least, extremely bizarre.
Furthermore, Scalia is in no way a real originalist. He is perfectly happy to interpret the Constitution in light of changing times when it suits him.
He’s probably the least intellectual member of the court
