- W1556830278 abstract "Our topic today is the impact of Justice Scalia on the Supreme Court. There are many different perspectives from which one might address this issue. I intend to focus on Scalia's methodology, and to say a little bit about how that methodology gets applied in particular cases. This will lead into a slightly larger point about constitutional adjudication more generally, and Scalia's place in that enterprise. And it will lead to a point about the current perception of constitutional adjudication, which is perhaps most important, and Scalia's impact on that. Justice Scalia's interpretive methodology can largely be captured by three themes: textualism, originalism, and democracy. Textualism suggests in statutory cases that we should focus on the words that are actually law, rather than legislative history such as committee reports, and in constitutional cases that we should heed the words of the Constitution rather than considerations not found in the document itself. Originalism suggests that in seeking to understand the words of the Constitution we should ask how they were understood at the time they were written, not what modem readers might think. And his commitment to democracy means that he believes most substantive value choices-those not addressed directly by the text of the Constitution-are to be left up to the political process. The role of the Court, Scalia said in his dissenting opinion in Lawrence v. Texas, is not to take sides in the culture wars but to assure, as a neutral observer, that the democratic rules of engagement are observed. Of these three themes, the commitment to democracy is perhaps the most important. Both textualism and originalism can be seen as means to support democracy, because they constrain judges and thereby prevent them from imposing their own values on the people. Judges simply ensure that the choices the people make are made through a functional democratic process." @default.
