The problem with Scalia is he’s a hypocrite.
Which 60 Minutes‘ recent puff piece did little to unearth.
But I did. As a student at Yale Law School, I put Scalia in his place…twice.
I challenged him on his own terms as a pure textualist.
And proved to him — in the face of hundreds of law students who laughed and taunted him for his failure to answer my challenge — that he is NOT an originalist.
In today’s show, I share my personal “smack-down” of Scalia, as I comment on the 60 Minutes interview.
