Justice Antonin Scalia: Living in Another World
Abstract
For Scalia, the Constitution that came into formal existence in 1789 is a normative island that must be fortified against eroding foreign and modernist influences. The infrequent invasions that the island experiences, and to which Scalia submits, are wrought through the upheavals of constitutional amendments. Otherwise, Scalia prefers that his constitutional island not be spoiled by interpretive engineers of the Constitution.Suggested Citation
