Abstract
This short piece commemorates the passing of Justice Scalia. The piece highlights Justice Scalia's ability to appeal to different audiences. His embrace of originalism gave him popular appeal. His embrace of textualism appealed to academics and practitioners. He distinguished his originalism from that of others with his "faint-hearted originalism," cabined by stare decisis and a dose of prudence.
