This comment by Justice Scalia being interview by Piers Morgan opened my eyes to some deep truths about the USA and how it operates. I bet if Scalia was in the block chain space he could have developed some serious governance models.
MORGAN: -- isn't it down to the Supreme Court to effectively give a -- a more modern interpretation of the spirit of what that means, to adapt it to modern times?
SCALIA: Well, that's lovely.
(LAUGHTER)
MORGAN: Well, I know you don't think it is.
But why don't you think it is?
SCALIA: Well, I don't think it is, because, look, the -- the background principle of all of this is democracy. A self-governing people who decide the laws that will be applied to them. There are exceptions to that. Those exceptions are contained in the Constitution, mostly in the Bill of Rights. And you cannot read those exceptions as -- as broadly as -- as the current court desires to read them, thereby depriving Americans of legitimate choices that the American people have never decided to take away from them.
RIP, he'd be a refreshing conservative voice in these crazy days.
