The Supreme Court overturned the most stringent handgun ban in the country, towards the end of last month. In a 5-4 decision, the Court struck down the Washington D.C. statute banning the public possession of a firearm. In a majority ruling written by conservative justice Antonin Scalia, the Court issued a direct rebuke to gun control advocates, who have long argued that the first clause of the Second...

That’s right, after the Supreme Court of the United States’ previous two scandalous rulings in recent weeks, SCOTUS finally got it right. Led by the world’s finest jurist, Antonin Scalia, who wrote the majority opinion, the Court’s decision is a love letter to those who cherish “the ancient right of individuals to keep and bear [...]

There’s a silver lining in the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on the Second Amendment: Even Antonin Scalia recognizes that gun control is not the same thing as gun confiscation.

Last Thursday, the Supreme Court, headed by conservative justice Antonin Scalia who wrote the majority opinion, overturned the District of Columbia's handgun ban by asserting that the ban violated the Second Amendment. In doing so, Scalia reversed over 200 years of legal precedent and ignored the robust history of gun control since the founding [...]

Justice Antonin Scalia: Al Gore to blame for 2000 US election mess By Toby Harnden in Washington Last updated: 12:56 AM BST 27/06/2008 The 2000 presidential election debacle was the fault of Al Gore, who should have followed Richard Nixon's 1960 example and conceded without legal action, according to the Supreme Court's leading conservative judge.

Entire forests have been pulped to provide the paper for all of the commentaries in the day and a half since the Supreme Court overturned the District of Columbia’s handgun ban, but when all is said and done this is what it comes down to: Justice Antonin Scalia, who in vociferously opposing the majority in the Gitmo detainee decision two weeks ago wrote that it “will almost certainly cause more Americans...

Analysis Eighteen years ago, Justice Antonin Scalia complained that a Supreme Court decision he did not join carried an Orwellian message, abhorrent to the Constitution. He wrote, sarcastically: “Attention all citizens. To assure the fairness of elections by preventing disproportionate expression of the views of any single powerful group, your Government has decided that the following associations...

Antonin Scalia seems determined to demonstrate a disregard for judicial propriety and the truth both on and off the bench. In his dissent in Boumediene v. Bush, Scalia asserted that granting the detainees the right of habeus corpus “will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed” because “at least 30 of those prisoners hitherto [...]

Oh, Antonin Scalia, he with the Russian first name, is so stupid he thinks gun owners are smart and responsible, at least he said so in his opinion the other day, an opinion which struck down Washington DC gun laws. If Scalia were not so ideologically narrow he would understand that gun owners are sometimes whacked out, if not criminal.

Lead editorial in the Wall Street Journal on the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in support of the Second Amendment draws a clear picture between the conservative bloc, which understands the Constitution, and the extreme leftist bloc, which doesn’t. In writing for the majority, Justice Antonin Scalia follows the Silberman Constitutional roadmap in finding that the “right [...]
