The passing of a great man is made more sorrowful when that great man possessed a great mind. Regardless of what side one may fall, liberal or conservative, the passing of J. Scalia is one of great loss to the interpretation and understanding of our Constitution as it relates to our beloved Democracy. R.I.P Justice Scalia

"[L]aws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed, and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also, and keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy, as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors." - Thomas Jefferson
For better or worse, no Justice defended the cultural values of our barbarous ancestors more than Antonin Scalia. He will be missed by some people, but not by me.
