"Discretion's the better part of valor," Your Honor.
More Leftist fodder to be twisted, distorted, taken completely outa context for the express purpose of borking any & all potential future conservative jurists, we didn't need.

How reminicent of NewtG comin' out hell bent for election & essentially threatening the Leftists running the Lamestream Press, following the '94 elections.
The socialist SOBs haven't let-up on the Right, since.
There's really something seriously wrong with the people who're at the forefront of the Right when they don't know when to keep their mouths shut.

The time to speak of this (& all other matters dear to the conservative cause) is after a policy has been implemented; & then?
Only as an explaination of decision(s) already made.

What in the hell was possibly gained here?
Other than providing the Left a static target to aim at?

Geheeezzzz.

As Teddy Roosevelt said, "Walk softly and carry a big stick." Running your pie-hole to no purpose, accomplishes nothing.

Then, Supreme court Justices should not give speeches.

"There's really something seriously wrong with the people who're at the forefront of the Right when they don't know when to keep their mouths shut."

Scalia's said as much in decisions he's made with the SCOTUS...fact is, he's probably sick of waiting for folks to change the hearts and minds of the American sheeple and this speech is his effort to affect that. As you and I both know, Roe v. Wade is absurdly unconstitutional and needs to be overturned. This won't make abortion illegal, but it would allow States to come to some sort of consensus as to what extent abortion will be allowed...there needn't be a Federal one-size-fits-all solution to the abortion issue.

why are you complaining about this speech??? Scalia was actually talking to students at SUNY Buffalo about concepts like "Rule of Law" and strict constitutional interpretation that they probably dont get to hear elsewhere in their education. he was speaking out against the liberal vogue term 'living constitution'. good parry - 'enduring constitution'. ... EXTREMELY USEFUL TO HEAR CONSERVATIVE JURISTS SPEAK OUT THE TRUTH!

In the end, all battles in our national politics are battles of ideas. if you dont speak out your beliefs, you ideas will wither on the vine and the other side will win by default. If we cannot state our beliefs as Conservatives, we are doomed to have them twisted by Liberal lamestream press anyway, and undone by the liberals.

C'mon - take a stand for strict interpretation of the Constitution. Let Freedom Ring!
