More From Antonin Scalia
[t]he Enshrinement Of Constitutional Rights Necessarily Takes Certain Policy Choices Off The Table.... Undoubtedly Some Think That The Second Amendment Is Outmoded In A Society Where Our Standing Army Is The Pride Of Our Nation, Where Well-trained Police Forces Provide Personal Security, And Where Gun Violence Is A Serious Problem. That Is Perhaps Debatable, But What Is Not Debatable Is That It Is Not The Role Of This Court To Pronounce The Second Amendment Extinct.

The Court's Decision Reflects The Philosophy That Judges Should Endure Whatever Interpretive Distortions It Takes In Order To Correct A Supposed Flaw In The Statutory Machinery. That Philosophy Ignores The American People's Decision To Give Congress '[a]ll Legislative Powers' Enumerated In The Constitution.

I Am Glad That I Am Not Raising Kids Today. And I’m Rather Pessimistic That My Grandchildren Will Enjoy The Great Society That I’ve Enjoyed In My Lifetime. I Really Think It’s Coarsened. It’s Coarsened In So Many Ways. One Of The Things That Upsets Me About Modern Society Is The Coarseness Of Manners. You Can’t Go To A Movie — Or Watch A Television Show For That Matter — Without Hearing The Constant Use Of The F-word — Including, You Know, Ladies Using It. People That I Know Don’t Talk Like That!

You're Looking At Me As Though I'm Weird. My God! Are You So Out Of Touch With Most Of America, Most Of Which Believes In The Devil? I Mean, Jesus Christ Believed In The Devil! It's In The Gospels! You Travel In Circles That Are So, So Removed From Mainstream America That You Are Appalled That Anybody Would Believe In The Devil! Most Of Mankind Has Believed In The Devil, For All Of History. Many More Intelligent People Than You Or Me Have Believed In The Devil.
