I salute you brother, I am an attorney and believe you are right on. About a 100 years ago, our supreme court started straying from the constitution. Over the las 50 years the Supreme court has just been ignoring the constitution. This has had a horrible effect on our lower courts and apellate courts. Basically the lower courts see the supreme court disregard the constitution, and are following their example, issuing many horribe and illegal opinions. Scalia said today that the supreme court does not need to rely on starie decisis, that is issuing opinions on cases regarding specific legal issues and then following these precedents in order to create fairness and predictibility. This is the foundation of our legal system for developing case law. Scalia says we can ignore prior legal opinions and just look to what the framers had in mind when drafting the constitution. Although the court should look at what the framers of the constitution had in mind when the constitution was drafted, the framers intended flexibility leaving gray areas so that the constitution could adapt to changing times, alot is left out. Whas Scalia is doing, is hoping to get rid of all prior precedents that may conflict with their current views, or in other words disregard the constitution and make all sorts of rulings as a pupet for the white house or their hidden agenda. This is very scary. I never thought I would see the day, the court would decide to get rid of our case law approach. Basicaly our Supreme court has crossed a line that is equivelent or worse than the Nazi Judges. They cleary are trying to turn our country into a police state, or dictatorship.

Scary,
