El acto fallido de Scalia
No full textThe author analyzes the jurisprudence of Antonin Scalia –a prominent and influential jurist of the United States Supreme Court– which frustrated the progressive policies aimed at eradicating the structure of racial castes and other vestiges of slavery in the United States. Scalia’s decisions, in fact, opposed affirmative action in higher education, denied blacks protection against political processes that harmed them, and declared null a provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that required a select group of jurisdictions –the most infringing ones– to seek authorization from the federal government before establishing new voting regulations.El autor realiza un análisis de la jurisprudencia de Antonin Scalia, destacado e influyente jurista del Tribunal Supremo de Estados Unidos, desarrollada para frustrar los principios progresistas destinados a erradicar la estructura de castas raciales y otros vestigios de la esclavitud en Estados Unidos. Las decisiones de Scalia se opusieron a la discriminación positiva en la educación superior, negaron a los negros la protección frente a cambios en los procesos políticos que les perjudicarían y dejaron sin efecto una disposición de la Voting Rights Act of 1965 que exigía a un selecto grupo de jurisdicciones –las más infractoras– solicitar la autorización del gobierno federal antes de instituir nuevos requisitos electorales
Prefaces to Scalia/Ginsburg: A (Gentle) Parody of Operatic Proportions
No full textScalia/Ginsburg is for me a dream come true. If I could choose the talent I would most like to have, it would be a glorious voice. I would be a great diva, perhaps Renata Tebaldi or Beverly Sills or, in the mezzo range, Marilyn Horne. But my grade school music teacher, with brutal honesty, rated me a sparrow, not a robin. I was told to mouth the words, never to sing them. Even so, I grew up with a passion for opera, though I sing only in the shower, and in my dreams.
One fine day, a young composer, librettist and pianist named Derrick Wang approached Justice Scalia and me with a request. While studying Constitutional Law at the University of Maryland Law School, Wang had an operatic idea. The different perspectives of Justices Scalia and Ginsburg on constitutional interpretation, he thought, could be portrayed in song. Wang put his idea to the “will it write” test. He composed a comic opera with an important message brought out in the final duet, “We are different, we are one”—one in our reverence for the Constitution, the U.S. judiciary and the Court on which we serve.
Would we listen to some excerpts from the opera, Wang asked, and then tell him whether we thought his work worthy of pursuit and performance? Good readers, as you leaf through the libretto, check some of the many footnotes disclosing Wang’s sources, and imagine me a dazzling diva, I think you will understand why, in answer to Wang’s question, I just said “Yes.”
Preface by Justice Antonin Scalia:
While Justice Ginsburg is confident that she has achieved her highest and best use as a Supreme Justice, I, alas, have the nagging doubt that I could have been a contendah—for a divus, or whatever a male diva is called. My father had a good tenor voice, which he trained at the Eastman School of Music. I sang in the Georgetown Glee Club (directed by Washington Post music critic Paul Hume, whom President Truman rewarded with a valuable letter for his review of Margaret’s singing). I have sung in choirs and choral groups much of my life, up to and including my days on the D.C. Circuit. And the utter peak of my otherwise uneventful judicial career was an evening after the Opera Ball at the British Ambassador’s Residence, when I joined two tenors from the Washington Opera singing various songs at the piano—the famous Three Tenors performance.
I suppose, however, that it would be too much to expect the author of Scalia/Ginsburg to allow me to play (sing) myself—especially if Ruth refuses to play (sing) herself. Even so, it may be a good show
THE TWO FACES OF FEDERALISM: From the Journal -Scalia A., Two Faces of Federalism, Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, Vol.6, No.1, 1982, 19-22
No full textThe article deals with the understanding of federalism by 20th century American conservatives, which seems to derive from the view of Alexander Hamilton, but essentially contradicts him. According to Scalia, Alexander Hamilton exalted the virtues of federalism and criticized colonial disunity, while twentieth-century American conservatives for more than five decades saw federalism as a critique of central control, thus opposing the national government's intervention and extolling the benefits of state and local control. The author disagrees with such an approach and cites a number of areas of legislation in which it would be appropriate to have federal legislation and in some cases impose regulations prohibiting states. Scalia's final call is that the federal government is good if we use it wisely.The article deals with the understanding of federalism by 20th century American conservatives, which seems to derive from the view of Alexander Hamilton, but essentially contradicts him.

Antonin Scalia
No full textPer quasi trent’anni giudice della Corte suprema statunitense, Antonin Scalia (1936-2016) è stato tra i giuristi più noti e influenti al mondo. La sua fama è legata all’elaborazione e alla difesa di un particolare metodo di interpretazione giuridica conosciuto come «originalismo» o «testualismo», in forza del quale le leggi – compresa la Costituzione – devono essere interpretate secondo il significato che alle loro parole avrebbe attribuito un cittadino medio al tempo della promulgazione. Il libro mira a descrivere la judicial philosophy di Scalia e a verificare quali peculiari aspetti del suo pensiero possano essere di utile impiego all’interno del contesto italiano
