Scalia is my Favorite justice.

His commitment to

Madison,Jefferson,Hamilton and the rest of the gang is why he is truly a justice who is fulfilling his constitutional duty.Justices don't make laws,they interpret existing law,

correct gross abuses and,malfeasance.on that note its

time to roll a big fat one....(sarcasm there)

Thank you for the comments.

Ummmm . . . you need to read Hamilton's Federalist No. 76 . . . He would have certainly been NO fan of Justice Scalia's jurisprudence

[29bairdr]

Thank you for the email. It is great to know that you sited source material in your view. That is what America is all about.

Cool video. Where is part 2?

[29bairdr]

Thank you for the comment, and part 2 is still in the bin. Way too many projects to edit and never enough time to get them all done.

Justice Scalia is one of the great men who have ever lived.

When he dissents, he comes out swinging for the Knock out! Listen or read his dissents: his prose are like an elite pitchers command on the mound extraordinary. If you like his views study him. If you oppose him study him diligently study him!

@roseband1 Don't get me wrong, I get what you are saying, but... It's kind of awkward lumping Jefferson and Hamilton together seeing as how completely different they viewed the Constitution, especially considering that Scalia is now tasked with interpreting that document. I mean, I understand the point, but the sentence just sounds a bit strange given the historical context.

While judicial review is not expressly stated anywhere, Marshall easily dealt with that issue in Marbury. By taking an oath to uphold the Constitution, judges are obligated to interpret laws in order to determine whether the are constiutional.

[etsneroj]

An old, but tiresome observation. As Marshall correctly pointed out, judicial review follows necessarily from the Constitution's mandate for Art. III courts to decide cases and controversies under federal law (including the constitution).

[thafix82]

you idiot judges interpret law they dont make it

[Albyiscool]

You obviously missed the point of that case. Courts can only decide what laws are Constitutional

[wise4me]

i read all of his tomes.he is exceptional.

[tim84k10]

Judges make law every day. Read Marbury v. Madison.

The idea of judicial review is judge made law. You will not find it in any statute or the Constitution.
