- On June 17th, 1997, United States Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia delivered the keynote address at the Acton Institute's 7th Anniversary dinner, held at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His remarks were entitled "On Interpreting the Constitution."
I cannot stop listening to this man now. Somehow I never paid much attention to him while he was alive and presided as a supreme justice, my loss. What an amazing individual, so exceptional. I cannot stop listening to him.
@ Maria A. I had the complete wrong impression of him when he was alive. He is a pleasure to listen to - such a brilliant mind and with so much wit!
Likewise. I can only share this with my kids, and it’s working.
I was lucky enough to have found him(on the internet) a few years before he was murdered. A great loss for mankind. One of the few irreplaceable intellects in history. Milton Friedman is also on that list.
I was so sad when he passed away.
I literally had the same thought. My loss, too. 🤧
I call him the father of originalism. A formidable legal genius and an immeasurable blessing to the United States. May God continue to rest his soul. El Nino!
What a great guy Scalia was. A blessing to the nation!
@@operationmockingbird216 Scalia would be the first to ask for the evidence as I am sure his family did.
How sad that less than 25,000 have heard the speech. A Great Man!
Over 36,000 now. Should be more by at least a few factors. With a media likes ours, never.
GREAT INTELLIGENT MAN. WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THIS SPEECH. WE NEED MORE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES LIKE HIM.
Brilliant. He was simply brilliant. And funny! God rest his soul. We need a million more like him.
Missed so badly and needed by this country
There are some Textualists left. Gorsuch, Wallace and now ACB!!! We are lucky!!!
What of Kavanaugh? An originalist?
@@arinzedike9693 To be honest I think he is a Originalist but nowhere near Scalia. But then again Very Few Wil be near Scalia. So it's a unfair comparison.
Gorsuch is a charming Man with a easy way about him. A kind of man's man and woman's man. Good looking, soft spoken and charming with that point where you don't want to get his back up. (But he's big on precedent. As circuit Court judge he had 97% in that regard). He's a bit of a charmer that has kissed the Blarney stone as they say. Nothing wrong with that. That's why, I suspect, his nomination was relatively easy. Scalia was wonderful with his humour and an eloquent writer, speaker and his straightforward approach to complex problems. Simply a genius. But he didn't think twice about Dissenting when he thought it was warranted. Kavanagh I suspect is somewhere in between. I've read his opinions (not all Obviously). He's not overly eloquent but very proficient. He's not an admirable writer but more than competent. He is Big on Due Process. It's a "horses for cources" thing is suppose. He's Fair and Straightforward with a Great Mind. One cannot ask for much more.
I'll Always be a Scalia fan but has a soft spot for Gorsuch. But I also like Kagan a Lot! Kavanagh is a family Man and will be great at the Supreme Court.
@@thegulagarchipelago5921 thank you for this clarification, brother.
@@arinzedike9693 My Absolute pleasure. And it's just my opinion...😁
@@thegulagarchipelago5921 Could not agree more! Glad I am not the only one to have analyzed Gorsuch and Kavanaugh obsessively lol.
It never gets tired watching him speak. Always enjoyable and insightful.
What a loss in his passing...God bless his soul.

why did people not like him.?. all he did was stand for the constitution and if it was not in the constitution it should not come too the Supreme Court. as he said if you do not like Roe vs. Wade than vote it out or the same with the Death Penalty. the states have that right as some have done with the Death Penalty. voted to get rid of it.
He looks like a Godfather. One of the most brilliant legal minds ever.
Damn, that beard...
Excellent video, thank you for uploading!
I have always believed that brilliance is at least partially defined as “ being able to describe a very complex subject in a simple and easy to understand way “
History has proven him right
What a Master!!! So happy to see this video..
Great man! God bless his soul and God bless America!
Bruh, Justice Scalia’s Italian heritage really shows here, it’s awesome 😂
36 minute mark he worries about the future of the Republic
Brilliant.
A great texualist ! His legal acumen was astounding .
Love Scalia so much despite disagreements, that is the mark of a great man.
Was this footage shot natively at 720p60 in 1997?? I’m so confused at the framerate. I was a 2-year-old in '97, but I would’ve thought that everything outside outside of film was shot at 480i60…
I didn’t even know there were screens capable of displaying 720p60 in 1997
It would be interesting to hear something on the role of the American constitution in contributing to American global dominance (economically, militarily, cultural etc...). Anybody have some reading analyzing that question favorably or critically?
You wont find one, that's because the constitution was written for a Republican Democracy, not a Globalist corporation led coalition.
YEEEEESSSSSSSS
Antonin Scalia with a beard looks like a slightly more in shape Stanley Kubrick. Strange world we live in.
Imagine to bring Robot information all time to time...
My, my, my, my, my, my, my.. 2020
What a man.
even the Great Justice had to endure racial prodding , I wonder what he really thought about people who did that.

RIP
Key question; ahabit.com/bi Where do you stand?
Italian name
Not gonna lie, I'm really sad to see nobody watching my most recent doc :(
Do you guys have any feedback for me? Was it just a poorly done video?
Edit: Thanks for some of the feedback guys. I can understand for those of you just not interested in League of Legends content anymore, it's just frustrating to constantly see all the other LoL youtubers do so much better in viewership than me when I feel like I'm putting in just as much effort as anyone else. I just wanna understand how I can improve and get to the level of being a real person.
Sorry to everyone who doesn't watch League of Legends TH-cam content. I don't know why YT is recommending this post to you instead of my actual subscribers lol.
Well, our English constitution goes back 1000 years, but you are a close second.
i don't remember him claiming the US Constitution was the first, only that it was the best. The Magna Carta reads like kindergarten speech compared to the Constitution, so what if you got to say 'first, lawl xd' in the metaphorical youtube comments section of history.
You don’t have a written constitution. You have an unwritten constitution. That’s why you made the mistake of surrendering your sovereignty to Europe for a brief period of time.
Hey Mr. Free Stuff as well as his friend Alito, Thomas and Robert
Why don't you just say Supremcourt justice Scalia, Antoni
Been a country, we've been a nation for much longer and a people longer even.
The countrys the veener not the thing.
The first time constitutes was from state Italian and parliament...Next was emigration around mostly intelegenc was things life from emigration America millions people's European intelegenc but purity and riche intelegenc..
Regeneration is philosophy story to protect I'D b name father's for all life story History never Death the name symbol best name I'D story was patriot family education children all life...
That intro…yikes. Made a dumb joke based on the Italian-American trope that Scalia notoriously hated. Called him a “strict constructionist,” a type of judge that Scalia once said gave originalists a bad name. Completely butchered the pronunciation of “Antonin.” Do your research before you introduce such an honorable guest!!
Presidents being able to appoint supreme court judges is the point of flaw where the corruption started. Each judge of each circuit should have veto power over every appointment to their circuit, if (during an interview) they can find a textual flaw in the reasoning of the appointee.
junior torres ?
Well, if it was intended to be in such a way then the founding fathers would have made it so.
*Danni* Opinions are like noses, everyone has one. Your opinion can become the way it is done by changing the Constitution. Thankfully we had intelligent men writing the Constitution who were forward thinking. It is a shame they didn't forbid women from being judges.
Your idea assumes the sitting judges will veto or accept based SOLELY on the appointed judges credentials and will not display favoritism or politics into their decision. The most obvious result will be a liberal court will always remain a liberal court and a conservative court will always remain a conservative court. One can always find a flaw, or interpret a flaw.
Precisely why founders wanted only originalism as means of interpretation. So it doesn’t matter who appoints the judges.
Is complet name Italian story Historical Italian American..The father's emigration and not chenge name and last name same people's criminal chenge name and last name but USA investigat everyone's to executive...
