	Oyez - Antonin Scalia
		Scalia decided in favor of Nixon, a reflection of his deep respect for the executive branch, though the Supreme Court soon ruled unanimously against this conclusion.
		Scalia served a brief period between 1981 and 1982 as the chairman of the American Bar Association's section on administrative law and the Conference of Section Chairs.
		Scalia's pursuit of strict interpretation, judicial restraint, and bright-line distinctions in the law has led him to surprising votes in his years on the bench.

	ABC 7 News - Scalia Argues for Better Judicial Pay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		Scalia spent most of his speech advocating a theory of constitutional interpretation called originalism, which seeks to discern the meaning of the Constitution as envisioned by the Founding Fathers.
		Scalia acknowledged Wednesday that it's not always simple to divine original intent, but he said any other theory leaves judges unleashed to interpret the Constitution however they see fit.
		Obviously, Scalia is one of those not-so-bright attorneys to whom he referred in his speech.

	Antonin Scalia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Scalia's "textualist" approach to interpreting the Constitution and statutes is reflected in his skepticism about the utility of legislative history materials, such as committee reports or the remarks of members of Congress on the House or Senate floor, to determine the meaning of a statute.
		Scalia thinks that the only legitimate interpretive guide is the text of the statute or related provisions of enacted law that shed light on the meaning of the disputed text.
		While Scalia is often said to be the most consistently conservative justice, his textual approach has sometimes produced alliances with the more liberal members of the Court in defense of rights that he considers explicit in the Constitution or rooted in longstanding tradition.

	From Justice Scalia, a Chilling Vision of Religion’s Authority in America
		Scalia noted with relief that the Catholic Church's recent opinion that the death penalty was very rarely permissible was not "binding" on Catholics.
		Scalia wrote, "Seldom has an opinion of this Court rested so obviously upon nothing but the personal views of its members." The ones he had in mind were not all the members, just the six who disagreed with him.
		Scalia asserted, not for the first time, that he is a strict constructionist, taking the Constitution as it is, not as he might want it to be.

	Harvard Gazette: Scalia condemns judicial moralism
		Scalia, appointed in 1986 by President Ronald Reagan, decried the current trend toward activist judges, saying that because morality changes with society and is viewed differently within different segments of society, it is dangerous for judges to create absolute rights and wrongs.
		Scalia drew an analogy to today's penchant for judicial activism to the past fascination with technical experts that resulted in the creation of numerous independent regulatory agencies, such as the now-defunct Interstate Commerce Commission and the Federal Communications Commission.
		Scalia said that since Cheney was involved in the case solely due to his position as vice president that it was appropriate for Scalia to sit on the case.

	Scalia's talk to antigay group spurs ethics questions - The Boston Globe
		Scalia addressed the $150-a-plate dinner hosted by the Urban Family Council two months after hearing oral arguments in a challenge to a Texas law that made sex between gays a crime.
		Scalia's activities outside the court in two other instances -- both involving hunting trips -- have also drawn criticism for suggesting partiality on cases before his court.
		Scalia issued a blistering dissent, saying the Supreme Court had "signed on to the so-called homosexual agenda" even though "countless" other laws and court rulings have stated homosexual activity is "immoral and unacceptable."

	JS Online: Scalia slams 'living' document philosophy
		Scalia, who was appointed to the high court by President Reagan in 1987, is widely regarded as possessing a surpassing intellect and as being an articulate voice for political conservatism on the court.
		Scalia began by saying that an originalist or a textualist takes meaning from the Constitution "from its text, and that meaning does not change." The text itself is augmented only by examining what the Framers of the Constitution intended at the time - not by what a majority in society might prefer today, he said.
		Scalia said that by adopting this judicial philosophy, he is often treated as if he were "eating little babies." But the originalist approach in fact is orthodox, widely held by jurists throughout most of the nation's history, he said.

		Yet, a Court controlled by Justices Scalia and Thomas would turn back the clock on the past 50 years by undoing many victories that have ensured that Americans may not be denied the right to vote based on their race.
		In 1994, Justices Thomas and Scalia advocated a radically activist position in a concurring opinion that, had it been the majority opinion, would have done great damage to the nation's progress toward ensuring all Americans an equal opportunity to participate and be heard in our democratic system.
		Scalia and Thomas would have imposed a costly, adversarial and time-consuming process solely because one individual objected to the redistricting plan and sued to block it on the grounds that the plan was too concerned with its potential impact on minority voters.

		Scalia is on record as complaining Christians are a persecuted minority, gays and others are waging a culture war against America, and the government should "scale back" our rights during wartime.

		And though it reflected a fundamental change in the nation's laws, that reform was nowhere near as radical a redefinition of society's long-held values as, say, same-sex marriage.
		Decisions about such core social cornerstones, Scalia said, should be made by the elected voices of the people - not by a panel of robed justices, who have no inherent qualification to render judgment on issues of morality.
		Scalia noted that his own nomination to the high court two decades ago was approved by the Senate in a 98-0 vote.

		The collection confirms Scalia’s reputation as a trenchant critic of judicial arrogance and as a dogged defender of the Constitution as it was originally understood.
		Scalia insists repeatedly that malleable judicial standards—reflected not only in the Court’s appeals to evolving social norms, foreign courts, and living documents, but also, in some cases, in its reliance on authorial intent—give the Court carte blanche to impose its arbitrary will.
