FEDERALIST #78 May 28th, MDCCLXXVIII Alexander Hamilton "....there can be but few men in the society who will have sufficient skill in the laws to qualify them for the stations of judges. And making the proper deductions for the ordinary depravity of human nature, the number must be smaller still who unite the requisite integrity with the requisite knowledge." Publius

"That moral excellence, then is concerned with the pleasant and the painful is clear. But since the character, being as its name something that grows by habit - -consider, then, character to be this, viz. a quality in accordance with governing reason belonging to the irrational part of the soul which is yet able to obey the reason.” Aristotle; Eudemian Ethics; Book II. Section 2.

"All human beings have an innate resistance to obedience. Discipline removes this resistance and, by constant repetition, makes obedience habitual and subconscious.” General George S. Patton Jr.

"The first person you have to lead and discipline is yourself." Lieutenant General Harold G. Moore

“For what it is that works looking to the Ideas? Anything can either be, or become, like another without being copied from it, so that whether Socrates exists or not man might come to be like Socrates; and evidently this might be so even if Socrates were eternal.” Aristotle; Metaphysics; Book I. Section 9.

A giant.

“For the science which is most meet for God to have is a divine science, and so is any science that deals with divine objects; and this science alone has these qualities; for God is thought to be among the causes of all things and to be first principle, and such a science either God alone can have, or God above all other. All the sciences, indeed, are more necessary than this, but none is better.” Aristotle; Metaphysics; Book I. Section 2.

GOD BLESS JUSTICE SCALIA

[@PerryCuda]

Wonder what Scalia would think of the current American King and the 2018 "overbearing majority." )

[@eamonreidy9534]

I think he was a devout enough Catholic that trump would have deeply disturbed him. As for the attempts at insurrection, he would be appalled.

[@joelnagler5998]

If you really respect and revered Scalia's constitution believes. then leave all the comments in tact but not removes the comments not favorable to your topic or celebrates. Scalia is the most vocal and legal supporting and advocating protects the 1% placed on highest juridical seats in our land. what a travesty.

[@jasonkuang4501]

If the 1% make law to protect the 1%, or leave some area intentionally unlegislated, then judges can do little. Changes happen with people being less ignorant about the law and the Constitution, and demanding more from their representatives, not their judges. I see no travesty in a historical inquiry of Magna Carta.

“On all these grounds, therefore, we may infer with confidence that there is something beyond the bodies that are about us on this earth, different and separate from them; and that the superior glory of its nature is proportionate to its distance from this world of ours.” Aristotle; On The Heavens; Book I. Section 2.

[@kirkbowyer3249]

“We Suppose first, then, that the wiseman knows all things, as far as possible, although he has not knowledge of each of them individually; secondly, that he who can learn things that are difficult, and not easy for a man to know, is wise(sense-perception is common to all, and therefore easy and no mark of wisdom); again, he who is more exact and more capable of teaching the causes is wiser, in every branch of knowledge; and of sciences, also, that which is desirable on its own account and for sake of knowing it is more of the nature of wisdom than that which is desirable on account of its results, and the superior science is more of the nature of wisdom than the ancillary; for the wise man must not be ordered but must order, and he must not obey another, but the less wise must obey him.” Aristotle; Metaphysics; Book I. Section 2.
