Today on Uncommon Knowledge, Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia discusses how the Constitution should and should not be interpreted.
“If you want the right to abortion, create it the way most rights are created; in a democracy you persuade your fellow citizens to pass a law. You want to abolish the death penalty, same thing. All of that democratic choice is taken away when the Court is enabled to give vague provision such as due process of law, equal protection of the laws, meanings that they did not have when they were adopted.”
