SCALIA ON RECORD


"I'm going to talk about -- not what my listeners might want to hear, but about what I think they ought to hear. That's part of my charm."

Actually, he gave it a shot. He noted that one of the primary functions of the court is to settle disputes between businesses and between business and government. He noted that the NVTC might be one group following a patent case that asks the justices to decide what is invention and what is just an obvious idea. "And I know how that one comes out, but I'm not going to tell you," he said.



But mostly Scalia talked about his favorite subject, "originalist" interpretation of the Constitution based on "the meaning it was understood to have when it was written."


The only tart moment of the morning came during the Q&A session, when one woman noted how often Scalia referred to "businessmen" during his speech; she reminded him that women have owned businesses for some time now and pointed out that the Constitution was "written by men for men."


Scalia groaned and asked whether the solution would be "to throw it out?"

For his part, Scalia said he doesn't think the Constitution needs to "evolve" to cover modern problems, although he acknowledged that it is not always easy to follow the intent of the framers from 220 years ago.



Especially "when you guys invent some new technology."


"Sometimes," he said, "you have to sort of calculate the trajectory of the Constitution."
