Scalia Speaks (and he isn't as off the wall as you thought.)
At a recent Federalist Society event televised on C-Span Scalia indicated that he indeed believes the Constitution to be a living breathing evolving instrument. He stated that
with regard to the Death Penalty, it was deemed Constitutional but next year, who knows--
the conclusion could be revisited such that it becomes Unconstitutional. The "Cruel and Unusual" aspect of the State being in the business of Murder (not in War) for the sins of its citizens is
something that other civilized countries have long considered an anwered question. I highly recommend getting the DVD "La Veuve De Saint Pierre." Saint Pierre is one of those French owned islands off Nova Scotia- Get it for "Black Friday." (Juliette Binoche is a fabulous french actress featured here with Daniel Auteiul) http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi2784755993/
