After the untimely death of United States Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia last February, headlines declared “Supreme Court Hangs in the Balance,” “Next President to Shape Court for a Generation.” We now know the President who will do that shaping is Donald J. Trump. President-elect Trump has made it clear that Justice Scalia will be the model for his Supreme Court nominee. Informed Americans should know what that model represents. |

I know what the Scalia model represents, interpreting the law according to our country's highly principled constitution. Any other flighty modern application of law is an affront to "We the people." |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
