Words from Scalia that form part of his legacy- on democratic self-government as the development of the millenium. It "assumes a continuing appreciation of the need for structural checks," says Scalia. Essential to democratic self-government says Scalia is "what our Framers would have called a liberal disposition on the part of the people: a reluctance to impose their views by law in the face of significant opposition, a reticence to require others to love all that they love and to hate all that they hate." For Scalia that meant " a spirit of liberty" that is never too sure of being right and seeking to understand the thinking of other men and women.

Supreme court Justice Scalia- steadfast over the decades

02/16/2016

As a law professor who knew Scalia and also grew up in a family from Sicily puts it, Scalia was passionate about his opinion and not easily swayed. In the end he may have contributed to the highest court in the U.S. by remaining steadfast, offering a different approach that was clear for all to see. As Turley's column in the Washington Post, and a column by Irin Carmon, author of a book on RBG (Ruth Bader Ginsburg) shows, Scalia did this gracefully, winning respect from Ginsburg and other liberal colleagues and livening up the Court.
