Scalia Talks Self Out of Job

Interesting. Antonin Scalia believes that proponents of a living Constitution want matters to be decided "not by the people, but by the justices of the Supreme Court." This as opposed to his, uh, "dead Constitution" (maybe that means something...) view that "the people" get to decide what's legal or not? Or does that fat retard think that something called "the people" drafted, debated, and signed the document written over 200 years ago? I seem to recall only a few dozen signatures on that parchment, not 2.5 million. What an odd assertion!

No, Scalia must be thinking that the modern "people" make the decisions. So, where does that leave him? Out of a job? Can I, as a member of the "people" declare him irrelevant?

If only it were so. Now, how does that original section of the Constitution go? The one about revolutions being necessary, from time to time?
