... judge moralist
Published:
BOSTON --U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia railed against the era of the "judge-moralist," saying judges are no better qualified than "Joe Sixpack" to decide moral questions such as abortion and gay marriage.
"Anyone who thinks the country's most prominent lawyers reflect the views of the people needs a reality check," he said during a speech to New England School of Law students and faculty at a Law Day banquet on Wednesday night.
The 70-year-old justice said the public, through elected Legislatures -- not the courts -- should decide watershed questions such as the legality of abortion."........
....... "He said code words such as "mainstream" and "moderate" are now used to describe liberal judicial nominees.
"What is a moderate interpretation of (the Constitution)? Halfway between what it says and halfway between what you want it to say?" he said." .................
