Scalia Debates The ACLU

Justice Scalia is the freakin' man.

Check out the story of how Justice Scalia took on the ACLU in a debate here.

This is why an activist Supreme Court just doesn't work:

Arguing that liberal judges in the past improperly established new political rights such as abortion, Scalia warned, "Someday, you're going to get a very conservative Supreme Court and regret that approach."

Bingo... the liberals out there are surviving on such rulings like Roe v. Wade by one Justice. In fact the most liberal justices on the Supreme Court are the oldest members.

So... another Republican President.... another Justice... and it is all over for the Liberals.

It is much better to try and convince people of your points rather than use the Court to rule in your favor. Build a foundation of understanding on why your side is right... don't just get 5 old men to agree with you.
