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 |
Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
