[@jordanziskin2234]

RIP to these intellectual giants. I definitely align with Scalia's view of the constitution much more than Ginsburg, but I have enormous respect for them both. Conversations like this taught me so much about the law and my country. I am grateful that these two served our country for so long.

They are all lawyers, attempting to deal with philosophy and religion - both and each of which are over their heads. That is excellent reason for them to limit themselves to adherence to the U.S. Constitution, which they represent. I'm not sure it would be appropriate for me to tell Justice Ginsburg what she meant when she wrote an opinion, and I'm not sure I could cite precedents as well as she; yet she, not being a scholar in philosophy and religion, presumes to tell us what scriptures meant, and seems ignorant of pertinent facts and precedents thereto. Supreme Court Justices are lawyers. Their business is with the temporal world, specifically with the U.S. Constitution.

In addition a book "The Power to Lead" by James MacGregor Burns with the following quote: “Let us face reality: The framers [of the Constitution] have simply been too shrewd for us. They have outwitted us. They designed separate institutions that cannot be unified by mechanical linkages, frail bridges, tinkering. If we are to turn the founders upside down --- to put together what they put asunder --- we must confront the constitutional structure they erected. - James MacGregor Burns, pg 160 of "Reforming American Government" Edited by Donald L.

We need to return to this civility: are you listening Congress?

[@jeremyng9264]

I love the way she says: " Different styles, perhaps people seeing me as dull and boring, you have a more a jazzy style" How beautiful said and delivered.

Return to principles with civility? Laws of Nature, Laws of Nature's God (Bible), equality at creation with unalienable Rights and the consent of the governed? Aren't these are our unamendable first laws (unlike the Constitution which is amendable) around which civility must revolve?

God Bless Them Both,wonderful show!!

I don't know why Scalia while recognising that freedom of the press is not about the media but rather about the printed word wouldn't also recognise that flag burning is not speech because if speech meant any expressive action then the line about the freedom of the press would be redundant

[@Flashhood1425]

They’re so analytical… you can see them both take intentional pauses before answering questions… what a concept!

[@eclecticreader961]

Since he was an originalist, many of Scalia's interpretations can be tracked using a series of dictionaries. No dictionary will provide the same exact definitions for one word. Therefore, if you look up "Freedom" in Merriam-Webster you receive one definition, then another from American Heritage, then another from Oxford English Dictionary, then the next goal is to trace what you find to be the earliest definition of Freedom, in accordance to the year that should be in parentheses next to the definition. This is but one way to see how an originalist-constitutionalist sees words that are within historically notable documents.

Proof you can have differences of opinion and hold respect for each other. We American’s need to remember this. You can view things differently, and still be a good person.
