I highly recommend that everyone get a copy of the book, “Scalia Speaks,” which is a collection of Antonin Scalia’s speeches, put together and edited by Christopher Scalia and Edward Whelan. Judge Scalia was one of the great intellects of our time and, interestingly, had a close friendship with Ruth Bader Ginsberg, though they were worlds apart in their political views. His speech on Civic Education, pages 64-75, clearly show why our nation is breaking apart. People who do not know anything about their history, both good and bad, are doomed to lose everything, for they have no roots and therefore no logical way forward into the future. When they use models of other nations not nearly so free as their own, to be mimicked, they write their own epitaph. I hope many will read the words of this fine man, so human, so cheerful, so brilliant and so successful on the Supreme Court. I lament that he is gone. May his insights and understanding of the law and human nature infect our young so that some of them can rise up to change the destructive path we are on.
