But we must go by his words and his understanding of their meaning, without interpretation. Joel Send a noteboard - 16/12/2012 01:40:23 PM
But what he meant is that he doesn't care about original intent, only original public meaning.

Scalias original intent about the Framers original intent is debatable and thus should be ignored, by his own logic (though I use the term loosely. :P)

SCOTUS Justice Antonin Scalia is brilliant, just brilliant - - 11/12/2012 05:09:19 AM 1250 Views
WTF does "I don’t care what their intent was. I care what it was that they intended" mean? - 11/12/2012 09:03:23 PM 772 Views
Yeah I read that twice to see if that was right *NM* - 11/12/2012 09:36:55 PM 359 Views
Part of me pities Scalias decline, because he could once nimbly and convincly argue black is white. - 12/12/2012 07:09:56 PM 749 Views

Your whole rant lacks any logic - 12/12/2012 03:46:34 PM 796 Views
+1 - logic is not his strong suit. *NM* - 12/12/2012 04:21:09 PM 313 Views
His comment references the authors (NOT words) intent in both negative and affirmative. - 12/12/2012 06:45:02 PM 724 Views

The SCotUS is no place for raging homophobes. - 13/12/2012 04:48:30 AM 888 Views
Sorry you don't like it, but what he said is true. - 13/12/2012 03:11:42 PM 786 Views
Lol. Homophobia is synonymous w/ homonegativism. It's not meant to convey a true phobia *NM* - 13/12/2012 03:28:01 PM 429 Views
So then what we need is a definition of homophobia? - 13/12/2012 09:56:15 PM 823 Views
Re: So then what we need is a definition of homophobia? - 13/12/2012 11:16:46 PM 761 Views
-phobe : Greek -phobos, adj. derivative of phóbos fear, panic - 13/12/2012 11:32:14 PM 784 Views
Do you have a similar problem with "xenophobia?" Because it's exactly the same thing. - 14/12/2012 01:30:24 AM 712 Views
xenophobia is the fear of the alien... WTF are you trying to say? - 14/12/2012 03:03:09 AM 775 Views
No. You are patently, objectively incorrect. - 14/12/2012 08:39:00 AM 691 Views
An aside. - 14/12/2012 01:21:32 PM 775 Views
Don't believe me, ask a Greek it is after all THEIR word. I gave you some extra capitals, happy now? *NM* - 14/12/2012 02:56:09 PM 427 Views
