		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.

	Scalia decries judicial activism in Harvard talk - The Boston Globe
		CAMBRIDGE -- Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, one of the high court's most conservative justices, told a packed forum in one of the nation's most liberal cities that the courts have strayed into a realm of judicial activism that is ultimately bad for democracy.
		Scalia said he would have agreed with that decision on the grounds that the Constitution guaranteed equal protection, but not because it was the moral thing to do.
		The remark was a reference to a duck hunting trip Scalia took with Vice President Dick Cheney earlier this year, before the court was to rule on a case involving whether the vice president should be forced to reveal the details of his private energy task force meetings.

	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.

	Antonin Scalia's Jurisprudence
		Rossum reveals Scalia’s understanding of key issues confronting today’s Court, such as the separation of powers, federalism, the free speech and press and religion clauses of the First Amendment, and the due process and equal protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment.
		He suggests that Scalia displays such a keen interest in defending federalism that he sometimes departs from text and tradition, and reveals that he has disagreed with other justices most often in decisions involving the meaning of the First Amendment’s establishment clause.
		The first book to fully articulate the contours of Scalia’s constitutional philosophy and jurisprudence, Rossum’s insightful study ultimately depicts Scalia as a principled, consistent, and intelligent textualist who is fearless and resolute, notwithstanding the controversy he often inspires.

		Scalia questioned the church's opposition to the death penalty late last month at a conference on the subject in Chicago.
		In Chicago on Jan. 25, Scalia said, "In my view, the choice for the judge who believes the death penalty to be immoral is resignation rather than simply ignoring duly enacted constitutional laws and sabotaging the death penalty." His remarks were transcribed by the event sponsor, the Pew Forum.
		Scalia, 65, is one of the court's most conservative members and has consistently upheld capital cases.

	Scalia critical of what he calls the 'judge-moralist' - Boston.com
		U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia railed against the era of the "judge-moralist," saying judges are no better qualified than "Joe Sixpack" to decide moral questions such as abortion and gay marriage.
		Scalia decried his own court's recent overturning of a state anti-sodomy law, joking that he personally believes "sexual orgies eliminate tension and ought to be encouraged," but said a panel of judges is not inherently qualified to determine the morality of such behavior.
		Scalia, a well known as a strict "constructionist" in his interpretation of the Constitution, opened his remarks by saying, "I brought three speeches, and I decided to give the most provocative one, because this seems to be too happy a crowd."

		Scalia notes further that many important social advances, such as women's suffrage, were achieved not by judicial fiat but constitutional amendments--whose adoption, Scalia adds, is slow and cumbersome by design.
		Scalia's originalism frequently puts him on the conservative side of the Court in constitutional cases, and he is generally perceived as a conservative member of the court.
		Scalia is similarly wary of government violations of the procedural guarantees of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments (e.g.

	Antonin Scalia and the Cheney Case
		Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia recently went hunting with Vice President Cheney, even as the Supreme Court prepares to rule on whether the documents pertaining to Cheney's meetings with energy company officials regarding future US energy policies must be made public.
		Ethics Scoreboard acknowledges that Scalia has reason to dig his feet in on this issue: he has been accused of conflicts before, on flimsy grounds: it was insulting and absurd to suggest that his appointment to the Court by the first President Bush influenced his opinion in Bush v.
		It would be a breach of judicial ethics for Scalia to permit Cheney to have a private audience on the merits of his case; we have to assume that the trip included a "no discussion of the case" rule.

		And if Scalia is nominated to be chief justice, it will be a sort of plebiscite; not a debate over whether he’s qualified, because, after all, the Senate unanimously confirmed him in 1986, but a struggle over his decisions and dissents on abortion, the death penalty, racial preferences and the exercise of religion.

		In general, his votes have been guided and circumscribed by a deference to the federal structure and to the democratically elected branches of government, faithfulness to clear constitutional and statutory commands, and adherence to separation of powers.
		At inveterate critic of the 'imperial judiciary,' Scalia has never hesitated to aim his rapierlike intellect against his activist colleagues, who he views as creating extra-constitutional rights by way of judicial legislating.
		His frequent questions during oral argument are penetrating, yet, to the delight of the audience, often laced with impish humor.

	Why can't Scalia stop with the speeches? - By Dahlia Lithwick - Slate Magazine
		One of the reasons Scalia was so quick to recuse himself (and the decision was his alone to make) is that he is intellectually honest enough to know that he slipped in Virginia by discussing a case that would come before the court.
		There is a didactic quality to Scalia's performance on the bench—a sense in which he uses oral argument merely to lecture and browbeat his brethren—that is hard to escape.
		Scalia is the court's staunchest proponent of "originalism"—the doctrine holding that the Constitution is a dead document, not to be infused with the faddish new preferences of each generation's judges.

		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, however, sought to distinguish himself as sitting not on one end of the political spectrum, but as a judge who utilizes a philosophy that seeks to preserve the original meaning of the Constitution.
		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.

		Scalia voted to uphold the federal government's prerogative to go after medical consumers of homegrown pot, on the grounds that this activity supposedly affects interstate commerce.
		Scalia clearly regards "governmental affirmation of the society's belief in God" as not only permissible but laudable; moreover, he stresses that such affirmation cannot remain entirely nondenominational, insofar as it endorses monotheism.
		Scalia, on the other hand, waxed eloquent at some length about the right of Americans to enforce "the moral opprobrium that has traditionally attached to homosexual conduct" for the purpose of "protecting themselves and their families from a lifestyle that they believe to be immoral and destructive."
