Justice Scalia - Unplugged
The most controversial member of the Supreme Court, Justice Antonin Scalia gave a rare, insightful and entertaining interview to 60 Minutes. The interview is located below in two parts.
Part One
Part Two
In a surprisingly candid interview, Scalia commented on his judicial philosophy and his opinion on the still controversial Gore v. Bush decision that allowed George W. Bush to become president. He also made some interesting comments regarding the issue of abortion that some people may find interesting. I also found it interesting that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, one the most liberal justices on the court is one of his best friends. This revelation may disappoint people who like to think that the justices are throwing darts at each other in the hallways of the Supreme Court.
People either like Scalia or hate Scalia. I do not agree with many of his court opinions, but I have always enjoyed reading them. It could be argued that his written opinions have always been, by far, the best on the bench. When he eventually leaves the Supreme Court, a lot of people will be dancing in the streets. No matter what people think of Scalia, there is no doubt that he will have left an indelible mark on the Court.
