  • Lecture with Justice Antonin Scalia "Is Capitalism or Socialism More Conducive to Christian Virtue?" given Friday, September 6, 2013 at The Lanier Theological Library in Houston, TX.
    Antonin Gregory Scalia is an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
    As the longest-serving justice currently on the court, Scalia is the Senior Associate Justice. Appointed to the court by President Ronald Reagan in 1986, Scalia has been described as the intellectual anchor of the court's conservative wing.
    Scalia was born in Trenton, New Jersey, but grew up in New York City. He attended Georgetown University as an undergraduate and obtained his law degree from Harvard Law School. After spending six years in a Cleveland law firm, he became a law school professor. In the early 1970s, he served in the Nixon and Ford administrations, first at minor administrative agencies, and then as an assistant attorney general. He spent most of the Carter years teaching at the University of Chicago, where he became one of the first faculty advisors of the fledgling Federalist Society. In 1982, he was appointed as a judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit by President Ronald Reagan.
    In 1986, Scalia was appointed by Reagan to the Supreme Court to fill the associate justice seat vacated when Justice William Rehnquist was elevated to Chief Justice. Scalia was unanimously confirmed by the Senate, and took his seat on September 26, 1986.
    In his quarter-century on the court, Scalia has staked out a conservative ideology in his opinions, advocating textualism in statutory interpretation and originalism in constitutional interpretation.
    02/13/2016 RIP Justice Antonin Scalia will be missed by all.

    I can't stop watching Scalia's lectures. Truly the most influential voice for orginalism and respecting our constitution in the modern era. He is greatly missed.

      I was surprised it dud not generate more interest than it did before his death. However it took off afterward,
      it is a very thoughtful presentation. he had given it at the Vatican prior.
      I was one of very few to shake his hand afterward. the secret service had to give him the okay nod. My wife told me they were not allowing anyone to get close enough for a hand shake.

    What a massive personality this great Justice carried... a "Lion of the law" as Judge Neil Gorsuch said. We lost such a humorous, perceptive individual with a strong backbone of the American constituation when he passed. RIP Justice Antonin Scalia.

    Justice Scalias passing was a huge loss to the Supreme Court and to the United States. Hopefully, the addition of ACB to the court will go a long way to remedying the current situation.

    This man understands, and insisted the courts not over step . unfortunately he was alone in this. When you look at his smile , you see that he is a loving man of honor first, an employee of the corporation second. He wanted to tell us all so much truth regarding the imagined self created authority of the quasi judicial system. [ which I personally have little respect for any self governing club [ that hides behind " public interest " when he speaks of things being common sense, he refers to how it was framed, prior to being manipulated by the syntax molestors known as " DEFINITION LAW STUDENTS " interpretation as a guide to precedent is a joke. Hopefully one day the people will wake up enough to realize what has taken place. Just because you say you have authority over me means nothing. I didn't agree to that, nor did I vote for that. Well we being the custodian of your registration as a citizen born in one of our hospitals, You are hereby forced to accept what we say.
    Freedom huh... funny.. Scalia , the only justice ever worthy of my respect.

    Socialism/Communism is founded on the state owning all.property including your living being.
    Common Law is closer ..really part and parcel of Christianity as this law (also civil law) is founded in every man and woman are created by a God therefore they have God given rights which creates inherent equality.

      Christine Loz You posted some unusual definitions of “socialism” and “communism.” But your description of Common Law as "part and parcel of Christianity" is really off the mark: Common Law originated in the conflict between the laws of the Anglo-Saxon invaders of Britain and the laws of the more recent Norman invaders. See Wikipedia, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_law#Common_law_as_opposed_to_statutory_law_and_regulatory_law
      Quote:
      - - -
      In one usage that is now archaic, but that gives insight into the history of the common law, "common law" referred to the pre-Christian system of law, imported by the Saxons to England, and dating to before the Norman conquest, and before there was any consistent law to be applied.

      Try Saint Thomas "Summa Theologica" on natural Law/ common law.
      As far as Socialism and Communism ..the descriptive language seems unusual to you as all have been brainwashed with warm and fuzzy weazel words.
      Ask a progressive...or Green if they support forced vaccinations..as in your body belongs to the state which is owned by a banking cartel.
