The intriguing and always polarizing Justice Antonin Scalia was on "60 Minutes" last night. It's a rare appearance that touches upon almost everything (Bush v. Gore, torture, originalism) and does a great job at humanizing him by showing his personal life. At times, you can tell Scalia's judicial philosophy wasn't meant for the 5 second sound bites because it's difficult for the piece to fully detail. His approach, his philosophy, and ability to reason are all meticulously important. He is incredibly knowledgeable and presents a distinct approach. A favorite quote from the segment has to believe Scalia stating: "The Constitution isn't meant to facilitate change: it is meant to impede change." After watching the piece, I couldn't help but wonder why there are no cameras in the courtroom yet because it'd be great to see this guy in action on a daily basis.
