Ron Rook think he's resting in peace after he was found dead under his pillow. The ranch Scalia was at owned by a donor friend of 0bama's. Scalia's son was going to be with him, but there were last minute problems that prevented him from going with his father. True to his form, Scalia dismissed his protection as he retired for the night. The next morning he was found dead under his pillow. How many people do you know sleep under their pillow? 0bama then convinced Scalia's relatives not to allow an autopsy. Several times protocol wasn't followed after his death.
@William Stevens There was only One Antonin Scalia. But I agree with you. The Left and even a small percentage of Conservatives think that Judges exist to create Law. It's an Ideological way of thinking without realising the Immense Danger to it. Judges must apply the Law and in the absence of specific reference in a particular piece of legislation in modern day circumstances to a specific case then must interpret the will of the Legislative assembly which is particularly applicable to the Constitution. Let's take the old favourite The 2nd Amendment. When the Founding Fathers drafted and ratified the 2nd Amendment there was no M60 machine guns and no nuclear bombs. But the Founding Fathers did Guarantee "the right to keep and bear arms". So, in the absence of specific reference to nuclear bombs and M60's the Courts and ultimately the Supreme Court had to and still does Interpret the Will and Meaning of the Founding Fathers. Needles to say it's Overwhelmingly in the Public Interest that avarage Joe Bloke be prevented from obtaining and owning a nuclear bomb. So the Court interpreted the Constitution and a Minimum standard as to what Joe citizen rights in regards to the 2nd Amendment is and settled on semi automatic rifles and as a special sub classification with special provisions machine guns. I understand the objective of the Left. That is to water down the rights of the citizens across the spectrum in favour of big government. It's a classical Socialist and nowadays Neomarxist ideology that cost humanity 200 million Souls in the previous century and now we have once again countries like Venezuela, Cambodia, Zimbabwe ect. It seems that our capacity to learn from mistakes is very limited after all.
Met him at my old University UCD (Ireland). We have a living Constitution so it was great to hear the other side, and he made some great arguments for his point of view. He also doesn't suffer fools gladly and put down the hippies trying to ruffle him with aplomb.
@cwbweeks Anyone who truly wants to treat the Constitution with respect would understand that its most important attribute is that it is mutable and can be changed as society changes. Conservatives who treat it like a sacred religious text completely missing the point.
I just finished reading his book : "Reflections on Law, faith and life well lived." What a great human being!! I will always love you, dear Beloved Justice Scalia. May your soul rest in heaven. And May Almighty God reunite you in heaven with your beloved wife Maureen and all family. Amen!
@@jfrank7535 Disagreeing with a single supreme court judge is hardly disagreeing with the principles of America. In fact, being able to respectfully disagree with someone without any repercussions is part of free speech, which is a principle of America
I don’t like anything about Trump and I don’t like Scalia’s political beliefs and judicial policy. But I still like the former justice personally and I respect him as a person. Everyone is so politically divided these days because no one wants to listen to each other any more.
An American can disagree and still respect the man. He was a kind decent moral man. We challenge ideas not people. May he rest in peace, and may the argument never end between him and ginsberg.
He WAS called. Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett. If only he could see the court now and how he helped shape it. Bonus observation: 9:00 Notice how the painter made Scalia's tie slant to the "right"?
My criticism of garner's and Scalia's book on legal writing is the footnoting of cases which I think makes remote the very basic stare decisis that supports the idea supported. Their thinking was citing cases inter alia interrupted a brief or opinions flow.

Having served on Justice Scalia's protection detail for many years I have to admit I truly miss him every day. Such a fine gentleman!
You're a Lucky man Indeed!!!
Thanks for your service. RIP justice scalia. Some people say he was murdered
@@usa5439 Thank you for your Service Sir!!!
@@usa5439 by whom?
What was he like?
I sure wish I could have met Justice Scalia. What a terrific person.
i love this man he was great
This was a guy I'd love to have at my barbecue. Rest In Peace!

He had been a down to earth man.
Wow he is different than I thought he would be. I really like him.
He's a good man. Sadly I don't think society today could produce another Scalia.
Perhaps Amy Coney Barrett wil end up being the female version of Scalia.
Great news SuperSneakySteve The system just did!!! Her name is Judge Amy Coney Barret!!!!😉👏👏👏
@@dvchel She ALREADY IS!!!
Maybe Amy Coney Barrett will do that for you.

What a great man! The final nail in the coffin of the living constitution theory will be appropriately named Scalia.
The technical issues during the question about abortion were really irritating.
Beautiful, love and respect Justice Antonin Scalia
What a Great Woman and Man!!! Would've loved to meat him and talk law and life.
Why is Scalia doing this interview?
Very interesting justice.,wish I had followed him and Ruth Bader Ginsburg friendship
I don't why people label him conservative. He follows the constitution and evolutionism
.
Wow he was very good looking when he was younger
Whats with the cutting?
Ikr I saw that as well. A little fishy
jesuit what a surprise ! didnt see that coming !
ACB.......A mirror image of Scalia.......
He was a true "American "
Feels like he was killed.
F
The folks sitting on the soft cushions of the Court all have one arm longer then the other from patting themselves on the back.
blimey--this guy likes the sound of his own voice doesn't he-how did the others get a word in edgeways?

Yeah, by the amendment process, not your opinion
"My job is to interpret the Constitution accurately"

Watching this video made me cry...
I still don’t believe his death was natural or accidental...I miss him
Thank you for posting this, CBS! 😀
A Great man. Brilliant.

I disagree with Scalia's philosophy, but he's a pretty nice, interesting guy. Guess that's what he means when he says he attacks ideas, not people.
So you disagree with the principals of America... got it
@@jfrank7535 Because the U.S. Constitution is the only thing it stands in the way of the machinations of the left.

New York was a lot different in those days, including NYC.
wow harvard? brilliant man.
Hillary thougt she'd be standing
Why do you think the footage has been edited to cut out what Scalia says on abortion around 4:40 and 4:50?
yessss i could not miss that!! 'funny' !
Bc it’s 60 minutes. Why would Stahl read that letter out loud? She’s a disgrace.
@hazel10987 promotin a new book called "making your case"
06:55 😂😂😂
I'm liberal and I love this guy.
Chris Harris As am I and as do I.
Man, do u support Trump?

A Jesuit!! Well well well.
The constitution is written in plain, easily understandable english and does NOT need "interpretation". It needs "enforcement."

RIP justice Scalia
That's no what I heard.
@HerrSchenkel Yes, he is. Explain to me how corporations have 1st amendments rights?
