5:45 "I respect the people who have them [certain views] but I think those views are flat out wrong." 6:44 "I attack ideas, I don't attack people. And some very good people have some very bad ideas." This line of thinking needs to return to American discourse.
This is a SC justice, they don't have the biases of Americans. Americans cannot, in my opinion, currently contain these values in the current political climate.
Because he holds his opinion of the constitution and law, we have the right to speak out against him. You don't have to agree or even like him, but he fights for the basic principles that our country was founded on. Freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom to disagree respectfully. If we all thought and believed the same, how boring would life be?
I am studying law, in the case I may be good enough to apply for college then to law school, and I look up to Scalia. He was recommended to me by a friend who has his bar and Scalia was his idol when he was studying.
I am a hardcore liberal and I didn’t agree on everything Scalia ruled in favor of, but he was arguably the nicest and funniest person on the Supreme Court.
this would've been funny. Leslie: when will you retire? Scalia: I'll work till I die. Leslie: when will you die? Scalia: I'm never going to die. Leslie: how will you do that? Scalia: that's none of your business.
Well? I’d love to hear what and originalist has to say in response to Justice Ginsberg‘s critique of the statement “we the people“. Also yes, like it or not, Scalia is right in terms of flagburning being protected by the first amendment.
What exactly is meant by “the constitution, as it was written“? Does that mean we strip it of the 17 amendments (and hypothetically, counting) that were added to it after the Bill of Rights?
no.. He clearly states in this interview that it is up to the legislature to change the constitution. Hence the 17 amendments which were passed by the legislature and added to the bill of rights are legitimate in his eyes because they were democratically created. Thats why he says "want x ok go ahead, write a bill and pass it, don't want y ok go ahead, write a bill and pass it". He doesn't want the court legislating from the bench, as some would put it.
When a loathsome man like this actually comes across as *reasonable, justifiable w/ who & what he is, humble, likeable ah compared to the wretched, arrogant, corrupt af ghouls today. Wow.
You’re incredibly naïve and ignorant. They hated this man back then as much as you hate them now. The difference being he wasn’t on every social media outlet every 10 minutes of the day. Nothing has changed, except the way we consume information that’s why it seems much more outrageous today in the back then. But they hated him back then
he is dead wrong on torture, morally wrong. but i have sympathy for his "originalist" approach to the constitution and his "textualist" approach to statutory law...
I disagree with him being wrong on torture. I think he just doesn’t consider that specific situation torture. He never said that those actions were justified, just that they don’t fall into the realm of punishment/torture.
Scalia had the best personality .. Wickedly intelligent and a great sense of humor. Love him or hate him, he belonged on the Supreme Court.

He was ahead of his time
These ideas do exist. Its just that people would much rather do the talking part than the listening and admitting when theyre wrong prt
This was a man of integrity. A logical thinker. A rational human being. I have more and more respect for this man and I'm not even an American.
I don't ideologically align with Scalia, but he's obviously a fine intellect and wit. He exudes learnedness and self-knowledge

W great comment
@@armanvranka7520 thank you 😁
Stahl was so immeasurably overmatched by Scalia’s wit, wisdom and intelligence. I suppose I give her credit for trying, but bless her heart …
"I ATTACK IDEAS; I DON'T ATTACK PEOPLE." That is one of the wisest statements anyone can ever say. RIP (6:46)
Lib Leslie Stahl. Trying to match wits on the cruel and unusual punishment amendment w/Scalia. OMG. Pure comedy genius.
I am studying law, in the case I may be good enough to apply for college then to law school, and I look up to Scalia. He was recommended to me by a friend who has his bar and Scalia was his idol when he was studying.
RIP Antonin Scalia
❤
Amen
I love this man
I am a hardcore liberal and I didn’t agree on everything Scalia ruled in favor of, but he was arguably the nicest and funniest person on the Supreme Court.
Even among liberals Scalia had a lot of admirers. He made us think harder about our own positions, and he was a real card. RIP.
Scalia was a fantastic writer
Indeed
This reporter is unbelievably biased.
I have noticed that with 60 Minutes as well. Very obviously one sided.
This judge is dead
She is kinda hot.
U could see it like that or u could see it as if she is playing devils advocate.
@@yevgeniyzharinov7473 To most likely very few people.
One of the most brillant legal mind of his time. What a loss !
I love Scalia
Seeing how his brain works through his opinions is incredible
I think Scalia's view on the Constitution is not totally "sheer applesauce" itself. Thanks for his service.
What an underhanded hit piece
*"Thats my view & it happens to be correct.". lmao*
In another interview he said he wished he had a rubber stamp to put on certain rulings. It would read, "Stupid, but not unconstitutional."
Why is my government professor making me watch this, just in case it shows up on my midterm
doing for college too. loving it! great guy
this would've been funny.
Leslie: when will you retire?
Scalia: I'll work till I die.
Leslie: when will you die?
Scalia: I'm never going to die.
Leslie: how will you do that?
Scalia: that's none of your business.
He makes a rock solid case for why "Cruel and Unusual Punishment" does not cover torture, and she just doesn't understand. Sad.
Well?
I’d love to hear what and originalist has to say in response to Justice Ginsberg‘s critique of the statement “we the people“.

The mindset of the writers - freedom, life matters, and individualism Trumps all
The death penalty is totally badass. The laws must be less strictly constitutional and more strictly awesome.
@Axel Hicks I am the law.
R S way to go, pal. You ruined it.
In later interviews he bluntly says "It's a dead document." I think he gave up on enduring document. Dead document is so much better!
Makes sense. If it's dead you can't change it only built on top of it. "Living constitution" just means we changes it any time we want.
Not sure why the host laughed when speaking about the originalist position. Shame on her.
Legal activists tend to use originalism when their activist generated change is challenged.

Shout out to all my political science colleagues!
What a hit piece. Too bad Mike Wallace didn't do the interview. little leslie is'nt up to the task. or the conversation.
same
This chick has zero idea what Scalia actually stands for.

@@MustangWWII that's a can of worms you are opening. obviously you don't know anybody who has been tortured. I have. An instrument of abuse of power.
Amazing how obtuse Ms. Stahl is.
poggers
Ginsburg was awful
“I attack ideas I don’t attack people and some very good people have some very bad ideas”. Now there’s a quote!
