Quote 31 Aug 39 notes
It is a singular embarrassment for textual originalists that the most esteemed judicial opinion in American history, Brown v. Board of Education, is nonoriginalist.
— 

Richard Posner, The Incoherence of Antonin Scalia.

When I read this, my reaction was similar to that of an audience member witnessing someone get ruthlessly served at a BBoy competition, or an underground freestyle competition.

Put the balm on it, Scalia.  Put the balm on.
