I just returned from Washington, D.C., nourished and re-energized by words from the wisest at the annual convention of the Federalist Society. When it comes to speechmaking, my attention span is so short that I am apt to skip a lecture or debate (or bolt half-way through one), and run over to a museum. This time, it was so cold in D.C. that I stayed close to the hotel and listened more.
One treat I would never skip is a speech by Justice Antonin Scalia. It was the third I attended and while his message is unchanged, his delivery is priceless. He never fails to delight and crack up his audience while making the case for originalism. He signed copies of his book, “Making Your Case – The Art of Persuading Judges” (I read it and highly recommend it for its numerous practical tips). He has mastered the art of persuading many to resist judicial activism and a “living” constitution as anti-democratic.
