. . . the Constitution should be interpreted conservatively, according to the intent of the Framers. . . . the federal government could not intervene in economic or local matters, and the Tenth Amendment – "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people" – narrowly confined its legitimate activities. So the New Deal was invalid.

Precisely so.

During his lecture at the University of Alabama, Scalia spoke against ignoring the Founding Fathers' original intent, such as by ruling that capital punishment is "cruel and unusual punishment." Or adding rights not enumerated in the Constitution, such as the right to an abortion.

"If you want that right, pass a law," Scalia said. "If you don't want that right, don't pass a law. That's flexibility. If you want change, all you need is a legislature and a ballot box." (Source: Supreme Court justice warns against ignoring Constitution's original intent)
