- On this edition of The Kalb Report, Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg join journalist/scholar Marvin Kalb to offer their views of the U.S. Constitution in a rare glimpse behind the gavel and inside one of our nation's vital branches of government.
Rest in peace Justices Ginsburg and Scalia.
Such a constructive arguments without being personal, whish our politicians do the same
The left REALLY needs to better understand the first amendment
Let's give congress lifetime appointments and see how civil they become.
People elect politicians so they will never be like that. Meanwhile, politicians elect judges
Justice Scalia felt the most important thing is separation of powers, the senate and house are supposed to check the president.
Unfortunately politicians are incapable, they do not possess the humility nor the intellect
I loved the relationship between these two! A great example of how everyone should respectfully disagree with with another's political views-
+Deanna May Two people that have decided to disagree (often vehemently) without being disagreeable. I tip my cap to them. RIP Justice Scalia.
+Deanna May when he was still alive, Scalia and Ginsburg were best friends outside of the court. They call each other out on court opinions but went to operas together in NYC when not in session
I could listen to them for hours - two brilliant mental powers of reasoning and understanding each other objectively. Intellect we are missing in today's politicians, with name calling, scandal hunting and throwing untrue mantras until they are repeated so often the gullible can't see that which is unsupported by evidence.
That Ginsberg is a rat!
Flabius- and you're a myopic partisan fool.
They are finally United in heaven and drive God crazy with their debates about law and jokes. As a conservative guy, I pray for the family of justice Ginsburg.
This is refreshing. So many people have been cursing her. I pray that civility does not die with Antonine and Ruth.
Liberal leaning but loved me some Scalia. A great man. Ginsburg an icon. RIP both
What are you talkin about United in heaven Ruth Gator Ginsburg she burning in hell she was a Jew and she knew about the Holocaust and yet she knew better but she brought one upon the USA and did it with Glee and bragged about how all the babies didn't get to be born is she didn't give it hell and she was she's lost there's no rest in peace she's burning in hell
silk Alter Go save some of the millions of starving impoverished children that were already born and leave God's work to God.
@@silkalter9880 You know she never voted on Roe........
RIP to these intellectual giants. I definitely align with Scalia's view of the constitution much more than Ginsburg, but I have enormous respect for them both. Conversations like this taught me so much about the law and my country. I am grateful that these two served our country for so long.
Somewhere in the afterlife, I like to imagine them floating out of an opera house holding hands, asking each other what they'd like to do for lunch, and then Satan runs up on them with a pitchfork and starts stabbing.
Watching this after the sad passing of Justice Ginsburg. Imagining these two American Legends
Now Scalia is welcoming Ginsburg to heaven and to share their love of opera
Oh yes. And the heaven's sing!
@Theshadow Knows and you are the judge to decide who G-d is...amazing.
@@alegnazenay4509 Well if god advocates for the murder of millions of babies (mostly black btw), then fuck him
@@oniondesu9633 you think God decides who lives or dies, maybe you should read the Bible of the main religion of the US. I don't belive in God, but being uneducated on some of the biggest religions in the world is a joke. But I guess you need a dude with a troll face on the internet to tell you that you need to be educated.
@@noobieanimations7398 You didn't read the message I was responding to, so your snarky egotistical message is oretty embarrassing lmao.
This is brilliant. And the friendship between them is adorable. RIP to both.
They are all lawyers, attempting to deal with philosophy and religion - both and each of which are over their heads. That is excellent reason for them to limit themselves to adherence to the U.S. Constitution, which they represent.
I'm not sure it would be appropriate for me to tell Justice Ginsburg what she meant when she wrote an opinion, and I'm not sure I could cite precedents as well as she; yet she, not being a scholar in philosophy and religion, presumes to tell us what scriptures meant, and seems ignorant of pertinent facts and precedents thereto. Supreme Court Justices are lawyers. Their business is with the temporal world, specifically with the U.S. Constitution.
@EX Democrat Amber the Supreme Court is not supposed to have a political bias one way or the other. But it’s kinda clear that your account was made for the Trump campaign...
Ruth called him Nino. That’s real friendship
Most of the Justices knew him as Nino

Great to see people so civil even though they disagree on some high profile constitutional matters.
Amusing how Ginsburg knows how to get under Scalia's skin with her playful digs.
Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg are polar opposite in their legal and political views and yet, they share an extremely close and beautiful friendship. Their friendship is an example for everyone in the USA at this time. A time when the political divide is harshest
I fear that a very large percentage of people will never have the ability or opportunity to read your wise words.
It’s a deep respect, they realize how brilliant each other are and just have different points of views. The United States lost two great humans when they passed. They should be the example for us all.
@@lainewoolcock1335 Yes, it should be an example for people especially today. They were amazing friends. Best friends. I miss them both dearly, its hard to believe they are both gone now, i still watch this video at least once a month.
I have a lady criminal lawyer friend of 50 years since our college days. She's progressive and I'm an elected conservative public servant. The Scalia Ginsburg friendship is what my "best friend forever" and I have been enjoying the past five decades! We agree to disagree most times. I appreciate this video so much! ❤
"Structure is destiny." -Scalia. RIP. A great man with deep legal understanding.
***** Yes indeed....TRUMP 2016!!!
+Hugh Janus well Ruth doesn't feel that way she was one of his best friends so how about that. learn how to be human being first before you worry about how someone's else political opinion define a person.
+dangervich, yea, "deep understanding" of bigotry. Can't wait to see who replaces him, even if it's not until next year. Anyone will be better than him.
+Hugh Janus how is it embarrassing for me lol, you don't even know me. nor did you really know him, I didn't know him either but I don't feel the need to hate him because I disagreed with him.
***** And what court do you sit on?
I love the way she says: " Different styles, perhaps people seeing me as dull and boring, you have a more a jazzy style" How beautiful said and delivered.
I already had respect for Scalia, but I hadn't spent much time listening to Ginsburg, and I'm happy I did. She seems to have much more reverence for our constitutional past than she has been caricatured. The disagreements are real, but her arguments and thoughts seem to be based on open minded reads of the documents.
She's a brilliant jurist. Don't believe caricatures.
Our Constitution was written to protect the Laws of Nature and the Laws of Nature's God (Bible) and the 2nd sentence of our first law EQUALITY AT CREATION WITH UNALIENABLE RIGHTS.
If so, why do we need an equal rights amendment? Seems a step over the precipice to socialism.
@@BobBrewer that is not in the constitution. That is in the declaration of independence.
@@BobBrewer that’s complicated. I would agree such an amendment may not be necessary-in Aus, we are freer -than the US & we don’t have such an amendment but under no circumstances does the existence of such an amendment presuppose socialism. That is dross nonsense & fear mongering. In actual fact, if the majority want socialist principles then you would have no cause to prevent such a government. The absolute opposite is also true. 😂 Also, please recognise that “unalienable” doesn’t exist. Anywhere. 😂
So refreshing to see two opposites.....relate their perspectives professionally , respectfully and also articulately ......If the SCOTUS can make this work.....why can’t we.....?
Exactly...and here you have people ditching friends and family over opposite Presidential candidates. So stupid.
@kurgan great unity message there.
This is brilliant. And the friendship between them is adorable. RIP to both.
Your asking that people have the same restraint and wisdom of two amazing justices. Ideology and human impulse will overrule the majority of people. It takes a strong character to resist such emotion and impulse.
Because almost nobody is as intelligent or wise as Supreme Court justices lol obviously.
This is how the country should be. Both of them national treasures.
Yeah definitely.
This is brilliant. And the friendship between them is adorable. RIP to both.
Absolutely, just brilliant, passionate, and respectful.
It is sad we lost both justices in the last five years. We will miss their wisdom and brilliance in the years to come.
I love the way she says: " Different styles, perhaps people seeing me as dull and boring, you have a more a jazzy style" How beautiful said and delivered.
Lord Willing Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanagh, Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barret can fill at least Supreme Court Justice Scalia's shoes....
Hell, I miss it now, we sure do need their insight, to clean up this mess that we are in now.
@@jerryscanas It will take all three of them.
@@jerryscanas They are not close to past Supreme Court justices. They are tools put in their position to change the US law by conservatives. I don't believe they respect rights and the law nearly as much as these two in this debate
I cannot understand why this only has 160K views. Brilliant video.
No tits, no arse, intellectual arguements only. What's not to understand?
That will change soon. RBG passed away yesterday. September 18, 2020. Sadness is all around. 😥🙏
"Structure is destiny." -Scalia. RIP. A great man with deep legal understanding.
A lot of ppl IMO don’t want to educate themselves on important rights nowadays. I am not college educated but I love listening to legal speak and understanding. I disagree with justice Ginsberg on a lot and love Scalia. But she is extremely intelligent and I truly believe she loved America. 460k now.
@@joseph65665 It's 5 months later and the view count shrunk to 436k.
Odd.
What a privilege to watch this
Such humility in both of them. What a remarkable example of friendship.
Their friendship and mutual respect is charming, and RIP to both. However I do not see the humility in Scalia. He strikes me as arrogant and blustery, as he always did.
casey e that’s just his personality.
Watching this again after the passing of RBG a couple of hours ago... may she and Antonin continue their friendship in heaven. You can be sure Ruth and Nino are having a long debate up in heaven tonight.
Me too. I love these exchanges---they do it with humor.
RBG is going to hell tho.
@@GreatValueBleach Yawn. How subversive. How against the grain... bravo. Idiot.
@@GreatValueBleach your name says it all.
@Theshadow Knows Oh put it back in the deck. Those women who had abortions were more prolife than you prolifers ever will be. Better to be cut at the quick than suffer 50-100 years. You have no concept of quality of life, you just want to force beings into existence for blind faith "reasoning"
There's no God, no heaven or hell, so your point is moot.
Imagine if this was the kind of political discourse in America
It probably helps that this was a conversation about the law and the Constitution. Leaving politics and policy out of the discussion always seems to preserve the dignity of an exchange.
No imagination required, it was the game that lead to dystopian law making.
She calls him Nino.....heartwarming!
I could listen to these two talk all day
Certainly two decent people with mutual respect for each other’s intellect, personal discipline, traditional good moral character and values, & deep reverence of the law.
I feel smarter after listening to these justices. I like how civil they are and the manner in which they respectfully disagree. This is missing from the political arena which is ego based
Beautiful session, RIP Nino...watching it second time after I watched it yesterday on CSPAN. Nino prevented me from pressing +/- on the channel remote. Excellent, concise and clear, even where there is disagreement, there is logic which is absolutely clear. I'm not a lawyer, but I loved the whole video. Kelb's question are also very articulate.
I'm not Justice Scalia's biggest fan, but watching these two banter back and forth is really quite heartening. I'm sorry that he's gone.
I will never be as smart as these two! RIP to the both of them.
If you put in the work you can easily be just as knowledgeable as they are. Nobody is born smart.
I like Scalia, sounds like a good and fair man. He has a lot of common sense and is very logical
Debates healthy, stupidity unhealthy. I am not a lawyer, but I love political discussions. I love these two and their civility. Discussing their positions without demeaning or name calling--wow I am positive they could teach both parties a thing or two about civility. Scalia and RBG gives a great history lesson.
i love them both. Great minds with their own approach according to their unique understanding.
The only thing that truly vexes me is how they keep referring to our country as a "democracy" instead of our Republic of law. That is a burning question i would love being answered by them.
i celebrate you Justice Scalia! Would have loved to have spent time chatting with you. You really confirmed a lot of things for me and inspired me in other ways!
Rest in Peace, "nino!"
Indexanimisermo I agree with you that it's a pet peeve of mine that we are a republic not a democracy but I think they are referring to democratic processes in general.
The US is a democratic republic. It has its imperfections but true democracy only works when you limit those who can participate, otherwise it's mob rule. The electoral college - I'm not a fan, but I understand its place - exists to prevent the worst excesses of human nature from taking charge.
sonia calles mesa and to prevent the more populated coasts from determining the outcome of all future elections. Think about how different a campaign would be if you just needed to win the popular vote? They’d never get out of CA, NY, FL and Texas and evening there in just a handful of cities. Smaller states knew this and were wise to keep their voice in national elections
@@ChrisPyle majority rule is the result of a democracy. I don't see that as advantageaous, but let's be clear about whether or not we live in a democracy
sonia calles mesa ok then be clear lol
I love seeing Scalia with such a humor. lol
What a fantastic conversation.
I celebrate their intellect, their passion for the rule of law, and their unwavering commitment to public service. Thanks to both of them, and may they both Rest In Peace! 🇺🇸
Too short! I LEARNED a great deal. THANK YOU to the JUSTICES!!!!
It's so sad that Scalia has passed and Ginsburg is in her twilight years because this country needs their friendship and public show of respect for each others opposing views more than ever.
I love when he says, "I do not read The Post."
Makes me happy to watch. Model for ideological/political discourse
Just brilliant. The harmfully extreme partisanship today is a stark contrast to the good example of civility set here by these two great intellects and American patriots.
I love that they were close friends and their families spent time together.
Structure is destiny...This 2 and half words distinguish democracy from dictatorship and these simple words are so strong that we need to protect our structure and fulfill our destiny!! I’m in tears...
Came here after recent news and to watch these justices come together despite their differences
Scalia is the man. Wish he couldve stayed on the court forever
Scalia is an absolute titan of law his majority opinions are unyielding and his dissents are epic: check out Maryland v. King dissent-a rare actual reading of his dissent before the court
Thanks for the comment. An interesting case, and some surprises on who was for & against.
I love this, such a great example of humanity.
How can you not love these two... and the example set! May Gxd give you both happy and rewarding rest!
Love these discussions!
These two are admired so much & rightfully so..Complete opposites..Male/Female..Catholic/Jewish..Conservative Republican/Liberal Democrat..Yet they were so respectful of one another & Such close friends..We need more of this nowadays!! Lessons to be learned.Rest in Peace to both of these Classy Intelligent Legends!!
@Bruce Wade That's what I mean..100%..I just don't feel like being trolled!!
God bless her! from a conservative.
These exchanges are wonderful.
Rest in peace to both these American legal titans. I wish our aspiring members of the executive branch had the capacity to have such constructive debate.
I like how there civil with each other and were good friends I hate both political parties because it leads to division and partisanship like we have now. I just hope we can reach a day where we can be like these two disagree obviously but do it civilly and still be good friends with our ideological opponents.
Believe it or not,we did at one time, I am going back to the 60s when JFK was president. The kind of respect really did exist.
@@paulcoy5201 well he was shot so he wasn't respected by everybody lol. But I love JFK he was a great president in my opinion
I respect the court so much regardless of ideology. Both great intellectuals
Beautiful.!!! Just Beautiful 'America' is personified in these 2 wonderful people.
I could listen to old interviews with Justices Ginsburg and Scalia all day. They are both brilliant legal minds with different thought processes and teach us all, in very respectful way, how to engage in thoughtful discussions.
Scalia talked Ginsburg into a deer hunting trip, and yes ... she got her deer.
How funny is that one?
Ginsburg? I know he convinced Kagan to go along on a hunt.
@@ddylla85 I think Kagan told a Senator, if she were put on the court, she would ask Scalia to take her hunting. All the Senators were asking if she had any life experience with guns, and she didn't being from NYC. Initially, she asked the Senator to take her, but she saw that she had overstepped and said she'd ask Scalia 🙂
Also, apparently, Scalia told the Obama administration to send someone at least smart if not of his philosophy. He then added, "Let me put a finer point on it: send Elana Kagan." They sent Sotomayor first, but they did what he said second. 🙂
@@patricemarie2960 apparently, she was nervous or something about bigger game, but Kagan did eventually go elk hunting with Scalia.
@@ascensionblade Never knew a boss, in my NYC life who hunted for elk! ..... But? ..... Who knows? More power to them ..... if they shared, and enjoyed the sport!
Both are such inspirational figures. I truly enjoy their conversation and wish that the US will once again have such intelligent and thoughtful justices serving. The independence of the supreme court is crucial to democracy, unfortunately the last 5 years have threathen this independence.
RIP Justices Scalia and Ginsburg. You both were legends of the legal world.
I'm a 🇺🇬 ugandan I'm so jealous that democracies have such profound discussions . This is awesome , these two are irreplaceable. May they continue resting in peace .
Two brilliantly opposing brilliant minds.
Scalia was so awesome! He probably was the smartest judge ever to serve on SCOTUS!
The wisdom in this video is phenomenal!
This is what intelligent, civil discourse sounds like.
"Papers" refers to private communication, and in the modern era, phone calls are private communication. In the case of the T.S.A., they definitely violate our Fourth Amendment rights.
I hope we all have an eye on the ball now
I could have listened to them all night. Their friendship should teach us there can be common ground and we can disagree without disavowing each other.
Its a beautiful thing to see 2 old fashioned people with very different views truly put intellect and reasoning in the opinion not what we see now
I wonder how many of the comments praising their civility have come from someone who has called someone a cuck, nazi, or libtard in the past 10 days?
😂😂😂😂
99%, don't forget people calling each other "Biden China lovers" or "Russian Trolls".
or a racists or a homophobe or a xenophobe or a misogynist....Dont' forget the empty labels used by libtards hahahaha
@@cesarfelixsanchez7597 He included "nazi" in his list, so I think it was bipartisan. Let's be nice 🙂
I'd guess that the answer is *not too many*. If they think that that's a good way for us to conduct ourselves, why would they bother sitting through a piece of civil discourse like this? This isn't reinforcing to that kind of behavior.
It’s brilliant to hear Scalias opinion about a free press. He was a great advocate. Trump should listen and learn.
As should you. Trump isn't anti-free press.
Such humility and deference from both of these Justices - It's a good day to be an American
Anyone know what case she is referring to at @27:00? Any guidance is much appreciated
2 of the biggest judicial luminaries of our time. You made the US a little more perfect.
I hope that this interview can serve as an example of how it is possible to have an intelligent, constructive conversation between bright minds of opposing political viewpoints. I am a Democrat, but it does not prevent me from believing that it is only through this kind of narrative that the United States can coalesce once again and become the great Nation it once was. My condolences to Judge Scalia's family.
A Clinton hopeful.
+lamarchesa2012 I agree 100%. I'm a Republican and I can honestly say many of my friends and acquaintances are Democrats and I always love the debates we get into.
Just wondering how this worked out for the two of you?
Still have friends with opposing political opinions?
Thanks for putting it here, great conversation !
So admirable, both very wonderful and highly missed. I love their commitment to justice!.
The Constitution Judge Ginsberg has in her hand was given out at libraries in 1987. In addition a book "The Power to Lead" by James MacGregor Burns with the following quote:
“Let us face reality: The framers [of the Constitution] have simply been too shrewd for us. They have outwitted us. They designed separate institutions that cannot be unified by mechanical linkages, frail bridges, tinkering. If we are to turn the founders upside down --- to put together what they put asunder --- we must confront the constitutional structure they erected. - James MacGregor Burns, pg 160 of "Reforming American Government" Edited by Donald L. Robinson. Who are the ‘US’ and who are the ‘WE’ in the above quote? That is the question!
Two extraordinary human beings. Let’s be open to different points of view.
I really believe they are genuine sincere both agree on many things!!!!!! really appreciate it!!! greetings from Brussels Belgium
These two are fantastic. The country was blessed to have them as long as we did.
This was great. I learned a lot. I've studied some of Justice Scalia's views on originalism and I agree with most of that perspective. I think the States and Congress need to upgrade or rather update the language of the Constitution to fit the current times. His perspective on the 4th amendment and wiretapping I didn't want to agree with but when it comes to the law, the amendment does not include phone conversations and other electronic devices that belong to people. I believe reviews of certain amendments may be needed to protect the rights of Americans from government and business institutions in the ever-evolving world Americans live in. Thank you two for your perspectives and service to our country and rest in heaven.
What a lovely person, brilliant mind Ruth Bader Ginsberg was. May her soul rest in peace.
I love these two, especially Scalia’s great sense oh humour 💕
Watched it today! What a wonderful way to agree and disagree without hurting anyone!
Two great intellectuals 1) Scalia 2) Ginsburg
Love eaves dropping on beautiful minds.May enable me to eliminate some degree of my ignorance for at least today day.
Does scalia believe the supreme court should even exist? it seems like every one of his opinions is "this court has no authority to rule on this issue"
@@JoefromNJ1 What he is saying is.... this is not for the court to resolve, it is for the local government, and their procedings. He does not want to go meddle in things that are not the responsibility of the court.
God Bless Them Both,wonderful show!!
This is really interesting to listen to.. Powerful arguments calmly expressed.
Ruth Bader Ginsberg arriving in heaven, after an incredible life and career, is greeted by her old friend and colleague, Antonin Scalia. Scalia says "hello Ruth, nice to see you again. Will we be seeing you at New Year's Eve again?"
I'm not American but Scalia was amazing.
Wow, I had absolutely no interest in law and don’t even live in United States.. Watched some senate confirmation of judge ACB and look where I ended up.
Two beautiful human beings, both sharp as a whistle . Great chemistry between each other... thought me a thing or two about how to disagree with colleagues, without losing my mind. Much adorable.Ruth has a wicked sense of humour
R.I.P. to Both
This vid was an eye opener for me. Thank you.
Thank you for caring and sharing...
Since he was an originalist, many of Scalia's interpretations can be tracked using a series of dictionaries.
No dictionary will provide the same exact definitions for one word. Therefore, if you look up "Freedom" in Merriam-Webster you receive one definition, then another from American Heritage, then another from Oxford English Dictionary, then the next goal is to trace what you find to be the earliest definition of Freedom, in accordance to the year that should be in parentheses next to the definition.
This is but one way to see how an originalist-constitutionalist sees words that are within historically notable documents.
Agree to disagree is the symbol of good strong people. Hope is alive while such people continue to exist in society.
Becoming scarce. Hope in this regard is dwindling
#2023 - TRULLLLYYYYY ENJOYED THIS. SO MUCH. These two will me missed. What Great Justices. What great examples.
Bless them. Hope they are still friends and debating in the next life.❤❤❤❤
Ruth Nader Ginsberg was a wonderful person, deeply grounded in a long historical tradition and culture. Willing to support the freedom of groups, whose insanity her deep culture protected her from, but from which many, lacking her depth of cultural history are not protected.
@Cindy Hilley My description was a description of the National Socialist Party under Hitler
Uniforms designed by Hugo Boss
Love of opera
Devotion to ideology
Representing only one group
Implemented by sadists in the KL
Devoted to their families
I thought the parallels were worth exploring
i admired them both, now they will reunite in heaven, may they +RIP🌹
One is catholic and one is Jewish. Different places perhaps?
Very beautiful exchange of ideas. Conservative and liberal principles.
I don't know why Scalia while recognising that freedom of the press is not about the media but rather about the printed word wouldn't also recognise that flag burning is not speech because if speech meant any expressive action then the line about the freedom of the press would be redundant
45:10 That finger poke she game him was awesome lol
