more scalia blogging:
i wrote last night about scalia discussing McIntyre v Ohio Elections Commission, at my soapbox blog.
the next question was about the orginal intent of the second amendment:
In thinking about the prologue of the 2nd Amendment, “You should realize that what they meant by the militia in 1791 was the entire citizenry .. so it wasn’t quite the same as the National Guard.”
That's a good sign. There's been a lot of focus on how a bush nominee might be willing to repeal roe v wade, but i haven't seen any discussion of what would happen if bush appointed a (chief) justice who would enforce the second amendment. Thomas would go along with that, and from the above, maybe scalia, although there is evidence to the contrary elsewhere.
Parsing:
Scalia didn't say, at the red mass outside chicago, "We are fools, for christ's sake." He said, "We are fools for christ's sake." No word yet on what he didn't say at the black mass. That's probably it for me scaliawise for awhile, see ninomania for all you eat.Or Scalia shrine
Alternatively, there's the Justice Thomas page.
