Constitutional giant Antonin Scalia has passed away this week, and while many immediately turned toward the prospects of his replacements, less interest has been placed on the great influence that we have lost.
As the court’s most devout defender of the constitution, Antonin’s passing may very well mark the passing of the Constitution’s role as the central document through which each decision must be weighed.
With Scalia’s death, the court has been turned over its now-liberal majority, and their belief that the constitution contains what they think it ought to contain, rather than what it actually says.
Scalia often proved this point with the cutting style for which he was well known. When confronted by people who morally oppose the judge’s decisions, Scalia would respond in a way that made clear the distinctions of want and constitutional need, “I even take the position that sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged,” he once said. He never did, however, make sexual orgies a legal requirement.
In his Obergefell v. Hodges dissent, he accused the liberal judges that made up the majority of not respecting that distinction, claiming their position lacked even the “thin veneer of law.”
The loss of Antonin Scalia further explains the tragic loss for constitutionalists across the country. Move on to the next page:

Our constitution is under attack and guaranteed to fail unless “We the People” prepare to fight now. One year will be too late.
No joke people. This has been Obama’s plan from day one. Are we dumb enough to think this Great man would just happen to die now? This is how he plans to further his Agenda on Gun Control and disarm us so the Muslims he is bringing in can behead us when they aren’t raping our little boys and goats.
Time for a convention of the states! Judicial review is not even mentioned in the constitution, why states bow to the Despotism is beyond me?
