Scalia Dismisses 'Living Constitution'
By JONATHAN EWING, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 54 minutes ago
PONCE, Puerto Rico - People who believe the Constitution would break if it didn't change with society are "idiots," U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia says.

In a speech Monday sponsored by the conservative Federalist Society, Scalia defended his long-held belief in sticking to the plain text of the Constitution "as it was originally written and intended."

"Scalia does have a philosophy, it's called originalism," he said. "That's what prevents him from doing the things he would like to do," he told more than 100 politicians and lawyers from this U.S. island territory.

According to his judicial philosophy, he said, there can be no room for personal, political or religious beliefs.




I mean, if it ain't living, it must be DEAD, right?


And wasn't the Constitution originally written and intended to exclude blacks, women, and non-property owners?

2. Three words: "Bush v. Gore."

Scalia is an originalist when it suits Scalia.
