One Year Later
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 41 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
A truly Godly man if ever there was one.
I wonder, if he is in heaven,if he hasn’t been spending his time influencing the election from that “foreign land”
A few years ago, I bought a copy of Scalia Dissents, a collection of Justice
Scalia’s dissenting Supreme Court decisions. In lesser hands, such a book would be
likely useful only as a cure for insomnia, but Scalia’s were no such lesser hands. For
example, on religious freedom, he wrote: “I find it a sufficient embarrassment that
our Establishment Clause jurisprudence regarding holiday displays has come to
require scrutiny more commonly associated with interior decorators than with
the judiciary.”
And here is his critique of the fashion for legislating from the bench: “Evidently,
the governing standard is to be what might be called the unfettered wisdom of a
majority of this Court, revealed to an obedient people on a case-by-case basis.”
God bless him. His was a magnificent Supreme Court appointment, and he is
sorely missed.
