Here is a review of a book about Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who is a textualist. He believes that the Constitution means what it says, and that a judge should apply that meaning in adjudicating cases. By the way, there are now five Roman Catholics on the Supreme Court: Scalia, John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Anthony Kennedy. There are two Jews (Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer) and two Protestants (David Souter and John Paul Stevens). One more thing. I was way off in my prediction that the vote for Judge Alito would be 68-32. It was 58-42. I got a big head after almost nailing the vote for Judge Roberts.
