He urged members to read the Federalist Papers to understand the founding fathers’ intentions. He also took questions from the crowd.
“He has a very dry wit, and it was on display today,” Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) said."
One of my very favorite memories of law school was when Scalia came to speak to my Constitutional Law class. It was full of annoying liberal gunners (I went to Georgetown) who kept asking him ridiculous politically charged questions (he's a SUPREME COURT JUSTICE, you're a second year law student, perhaps he knows a bit more than you) -- his responses were brilliant and ridiculously witty, and made my outraged classmates sound like fools. It was very nice to not be the only conservative in the classroom for once.
