To Ginsburg, the Constitution evolves and should reflect changes in society

The Constitution is a contract and the interpretation should NOT change over time unless purposely amended to make a specific change.

If a contract can change it's meaning based on the time it is read, I'd like to change the meaning of my mortgage.... Oh yes, the politicians want to do that too!

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a liberal who is - and this never ceases to surprise people - one of Scalia's best friends, both on and off the court.

That's a fun fact.

"But do you respect that there is another way to look at this?" Stahl asks......."Yeah, but do you respect them? You don't, do you?" Stahl asks.

It's obvious that "Leslie and the Left" do NOT respect that there is "another way to look at this"

Hmmm... "Leslie and the Left". Wasn't that a Hippie 60's group?

Aside from Ms. Stahl’s reprehensible questioning, they never mentioned the name of his book (which I will make a point of buying as soon as I find out). Same old SeeBS.

That's how the change in a society occurs. Society doesn't change through a Constitution.

Except through the constitutional amendment process.

The Constitution must be changed precisely because it does say nothing about abortion.

The phrase is “lightning rod” not lightening rod, Lesley.

Scalia- an American Hero.
Need many more like him.

The greatest justice since Marshall.

To Scalia, flag burning was protected by the founding fathers in the First Amendment, which is his only criterion, he says, under originalism.

I commented about Scalia's stance on flag-burning yesterday in another Scalia thread. Given today's related thread, I actually hope that Scalia did not say what is indicated above in reference to flag burning. If Scalia actually regards the 1st A. as his only criteria concerning flag-burning, then it's no wonder why the USSC has the renegade, Constitution-ignoring reputation that it does, even if Scalia is regarded as a conservative.

This post (<-click) shows that regardless that our 1st A. freedoms are now politically regarded as being free from any kind of government regulation, as evidenced by Scalia's stance on the 1st A. and flag-burning, the Founding States never intended for our Constitutional freedoms, not even our 1st A. freedoms, to be regarded that way.
