    Not me. Scalia was never a big hero of mine. Smart as fuck, as they all tend to be at that level, and for that reason I believe he he knew better.

    As a legal scholar (he was), he knew that even modern attempts at codifying everything in one place in a philosophical attempt to eliminate judicial discretion and judge-made law has failed. Germany is a prime example. Code law countries always winds up requiring a human being to fill in the gaps when what was written by some flawed person earlier doesn't quite cover what's in front of you. Interestingly, in those countries often wind up with MORE of what they sought to eliminate: judge-made law. They don't call it that, but that is what it is.

    I don't believe in fairy tales. For that reason, I don't believe the US was formed with divine intervention, and that our founding documents are something akin to the ten commandments.

    Just look at the commerce clause and its use by the federal government to regulate shit under the category of interstate commerce. What on earth did that mean to a bunch of dudes who lived in a world with mostly dirt roads (and not many of them), no telecom, no expedient means of travel anywhere and relatively disconnected micro economies? When that thing was written, your identity as a Virginian was much more important and relevant to you than any sense you had of being an American. Whatever they thought of it, we most certainly view it differently. Over time, the SCOTUS broadens and narrows its application. Note, that in many instance it has broadened it to regulate things that even @Sledog would prefer be regulated. The CC is, for example, the primary source of federal regulation over narcotics. It was broadly interpreted very early on, too, under John Marshall; so we can't blame it on modern courts.

    The US Constitution is, in fact, a living and breathing document. If that phrase bothers you, come up with another one. But to me, you either accept that it need be applied in a given historical context, or accept that it needs to be re-written, or at least re-evaluated, every once in a while.

    The Founding Dads were studs for their time; don't twist what I'm saying. But if you could make them appear today, they would all pass out in shock at the world they would see before them. They, particularly Jefferson, were pretty prescient men, but come on. Even TJ wouldn't have the foggiest idea about how to manage in the world today.
    They would have had another revolution long ago. They thought they would have one every 10-20 years because government would run amok.

    My dad's oldest brother was a priest until he got married.

    When Michael Cohen was asked about his testimony, he said, "I thought it was quite PRODUCTIVE."
