Can someone elaborate on Scalia's comment about German judges in the 1930s? Is a transcript of the speech online?

his point that societal decisions about morality and human rights — most of which have no right or wrong answers — should be made in the political arena and not by the courts.

Morality and rights are beyond the purview of either the courts or the political arena. They precede and supersede all man made laws or written constitutions.

And the founders said, rightly, that these things are "self-evident," or, to use the modern vernacular, "as plain as the nose on your face."

This "no right or wrong answers" crap is squishy libertarian nonsense.

God save us from judges and politicians who don't know what our rights are, or the simple difference between right and wrong.

How can any of these people ever keep their oaths, when they don't even understand the ABCs of what it is they swore to support and defend?
