Justice Antonin Scalia’s words: American exceptionalism

Posted on by

This is Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia (who passed away in 2016 at the age of 79), in a Senate Judiciary Hearing from 2011 regarding the role of judges under the US Constitution, and American exceptionalism.

I’m sorry, but listening to the great depth and breadth of this man’s understanding of the US Constitution brings tears to my eyes. As you watch the video note the thrall in which the audience is kept. They are in awe of being present in the same room as this man and the weight of his knowledge of history and his stellar intelligence. Can you imagine having had the honor and privilege of taking a class from Scalia?

We denigrate and dissolve the United States from within at our own peril and place, literally, the rest of the planet in jeopardy if for no other reason than Nature abhors a vacuum.

Justice Antonin Scalia’s words: gun control is not “reasonable”

This is Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia (who passed away in 2016 at the age of 79), in a 2012 interview on the show “Uncommon Knowledge,” speaking about the role of the Second Amendment and the Heller decision.

This is again another illustration of positive vs negative rights. The government is restrained by the US Constitution. It limits the power of government and favors the rights of the people which are inherently bestowed upon the people by God, and not by government.

Libertarian Kennedy and Justice Stephens on the Second Amendment

Posted on by

Yes, a former SCOTUS member, John Paul Stevens, advocating for the repeal and removal of the Second Amendment, wholesale.

Makes you wonder what his record was on cases before him regarding the 2nd. Great article by Kennedy, a Libertarian, whose full name is Lisa Kennedy Montgomery: “The Left is coming for your guns.”

Why stop there? Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg doesn’t believe in the US Constitution at all. Here, she speaks about the Egyptians drafting a constitution.

Next we have Ginsburg saying that she isn’t a believer in the electoral college.

Keep the new SCOTUS judges coming, President Trump.
