A rare, fascinating discussion

January 19th, 2005 personal 0 comments

Last week an historic event took place. There was a discussion/debate between two of the Supreme Court Justices: Justice Scalia and Justice Breyer. The debate was over the citation/relevance of foreign policy when interpreting the US Constitution. This was really a very interesting discussion. It touches on the issues like hermenuetics and the overall moral progression of humanity. I think that Justice Scalia did a wonderful job of laying out the issues in the debate and highlighting the purpose of a judge. I wish I had more time to comment on the rather lengthy discussion, but a link to the video and transcript will have to suffice for now.
