Have you seen the comments posted here from Justice Scalia, regarding the common law vs constitutional law?
He is quoted as saying that “the common law is dead”, and that our country has not followed the common law for a very long time, and in fact, has hardly ever done so (paraphrasing).
He made these comments very recently, so they are timely, considering the issue that’s coming before them.
From a citizen’s point of view, I think it would be tragic, and even dangerous for the high court to not do their very utmost to settle this obviously confusing question. Quite a lot is riding on it, and I’m certain that they are keenly aware of the grave implications involved here.
I hope for an outcome that best serves our national security and our posterity.
