REALLY interesting breakdown of the supposed genius' complete misrepresentation of actual historical events:

from a speech at the Utah Bar Association:
''Scalia opened his talk with a reference to the Holocaust, which happened to occur in a society that was, at the time, the most advanced country in the world. One of the many mistakes that Germany made in the 1930s was that judges began to interpret the law in ways that reflected the spirit of the age. When judges accept this sort of moral authority, as Scalia claims theyre doing now in the U.S., they get themselves and society into trouble.''
