Scalia’s speech on the Web

Here is the link to C-SPAN’s video of Justice Antonin Scalia’s important talk earlier this week at the Woodrow Wilson Center. And here is a transcription of the speech by a blogger. I can’t vouch for the accuracy of it, but from a quick glance-through it seemed ok. However, speaking of Woodrow Wilson, he turns out to have been a leading expositor of the “living Constitution” gibberish that has ruined our political order and that Scalia is manfully struggling against. I had no idea that these relativist notions were already so far advanced in the early years of the 20th century. Here is one of Wilson’s statements on this subject, which Powerline wittily refers to, along with Anthony Kennedy’s Whitmanesque defense of a federal right of homosexual sodomy, as “Song of the Open Constitution.”
