 Justice Antonio Scalia — Farewell Nino 
Our Republic has lost one of its most articulate defenders of Liberty and Rule of Law: Justice Antonio Scalia.
          "Nino" to his close friends, Justice Scalia was the greatest Supreme Court jurist of modern times, and one of the greatest of all time. To say he will be missed is a gross understatement. In the words of his friend Paul J. Larkin Jr., a fellow at The Heritage Foundation, "More than 100 men and women have been justices of the Supreme Court. All decided the outcome of individual cases and made small changes in the law [but few] changed the course of the law. ... Scalia taught us that the law matters, that the law is the written word, and that the written word takes its meaning from how history understands it, not what we wish it might mean."
          Justice Scalia was nominated by President Ronald Reagan in 1986 and affirmed soon thereafter by the Senate. He adhered strictly to the doctrine of constitutional originalism — the standard our Founders prescribed, reading the plain language of the U.S. Constitution for its original intent, then applying the historical context of the drafters when the plain-language meaning is not readily apparent. His constructionist interpretation led to a modern juridical revolt against activist judges, those who, as Thomas Jefferson warned, would treat "the Constitution [as] a mere thing of wax ... which they may twist and shape into any form they please." Scalia was an effective check on those activists endeavoring to usurp individual freedoms by promoting the errant notion of a "living constitution," treating it as "a mere thing of wax."
          As a result of the more-than-century-long assault on the Constitution by activist and statist judges, Scalia's "back-to-the-future" return to traditional adherence to its original meaning was seen by many as "radical." On the contrary, it was simply rational — a quality the Supreme Court is in short supply of these days, especially now that it has lost its chief exponent of rationality.
          The best way to pay proper tribute to Justice Scalia is by citing some of his public remarks and opinions from the bench (cases are noted below) in affirmation and defense of our Constitution.
          "Our society prohibits, and all human societies have prohibited, certain activities not because they harm others but because they are considered, in the traditional phrase, 'contra bonos mores,' i.e., immoral. (Barnes v. Glen Theatre, Inc., 1991)
          "To pursue the concept of racial entitlement — even for the most admirable and benign of purposes — is to reinforce and preserve for future mischief the way of thinking that produced race slavery, race privilege and race hatred. In the eyes of government, we are just one race here. It is American." (Adarand Constructors v. Pena, 1995)
          "The Court must be living in another world. Day by day, case by case, it is busy designing a Constitution for a country I do not recognize." (Board of County Commissioners, Wabaunsee County, Kansas v. Umbehr, 1996)
          "A Bill of Rights that means what the majority wants it to mean is worthless." (2000)
          "It is difficult to maintain the illusion that we are interpreting a Constitution, rather than inventing one, when we amend its provisions so breezily." (2003)
          "If you're going to be a good and faithful judge, you have to resign yourself to the fact that you're not always going to like the conclusions you reach. If you like them all the time, you're probably doing something wrong." (2005)
          "If you think aficionados of a 'living constitution' want to bring you flexibility, think again. ... If we're picking people to draw out of their own conscience and experience a 'new' Constitution, we should not look principally for good lawyers. We should look to people who agree with us. When we are in that mode, you realize we have rendered the Constitution useless." (2005)
          "The argument of flexibility goes something like this: The Constitution is over 200 years old and societies change. It has to change with society, like a living organism, or it will become brittle and break. "But you would have to be an idiot to believe that. The Constitution is not a living organism, it is a legal document. It says something and doesn't say other things." (2006)
          "Undoubtedly some think that the Second Amendment is outmoded... [W]hat is not debatable is that it is not the role of this Court to pronounce the Second Amendment extinct." (District of Columbia v. Heller, 2008)
          "Persuade your fellow citizens it's a good idea and pass a law. That's what democracy is all about. It's not about nine superannuated judges who have been there too long imposing these demands on society." (2011)
          "A man who has made no enemies is probably not a very good man." (2012)
          "Under all the usual rules of interpretation, in short, the Government should lose this case. But normal rules of interpretation seem always to yield to the overriding principle of the present Court: The Affordable Care Act must be saved... And the cases will publish forever the discouraging truth that the Supreme Court of the United States favors some laws over others, and is prepared to do whatever it takes to uphold and assist its favorites. I dissent." (King v. Burwell, 2014)
          "Today's decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court. The opinion in these cases is the furthest extension in fact — and the furthest extension one can even imagine — of the Court's claimed power to create 'liberties' that the Constitution and its Amendments neglect to mention. This practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves... The world does not expect logic and precision in poetry or inspirational pop philosophy; it demands them in the law. The stuff contained in today's opinion has to diminish this Court's reputation for clear thinking and sober analysis." (Obergefell v. Hodges. 2015)
          Justice Scalia's death will change the dynamic of the current presidential primaries — indeed, the entire election cycle. We've argued before how important this election really is when it comes to nominations. That prediction is now more acute.
          When nObama nominates a new court candidate and attempts to ram that nominee through the Republican-led Senate, that will create considerable discord. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McCon-nell has stated he opposes confirming a new justice until the election because "the American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice." Indeed, in more than eight decades, no president has nominated a candidate for the Supreme Court in a presidential election year.
          Within hours of Scalia's death, Democratic National Committee CEO Amy Dacey insisted, "Barack nObama, has been very clear: He's going to fulfill his constitutional obligation and nominate our next Supreme Court justice. ... [C]onservatives in Congress should allow President nObama to do what is his right and responsibility — name the next Supreme Court justice."
          Why? nObama has not "fulfilled his constitutional obligations" in any other respect, and he has never honored his oath "to Support and Defend" our Constitution and the Liberty it enshrines.
          It is notable that, of the 16 presidents who served in the Senate, only one, Barack nObama, endeavored to filibuster a Supreme Court nomination — the 2006 nomination of now-Justice Samuel Alito. In 2007, more than 18 months before the 2008 presidential election, Demo Sen. Chuck Schumer declared, "We should not confirm any Bush nominee to the Supreme Court."
          As for Justice Scalia himself, he once remarked, "I would not like to be replaced by someone who immediately sets about undoing what I've tried to do for 25–26 years. I mean, I shouldn't have to tell you that, unless you think I'm a fool."
          Today, our thoughts and prayers are with Justice Scalia's wife, Maureen, their nine children, and the rest Justice Scalia's loved ones, as we remember and honor his legacy. Nino, you will be missed: "Well done, good and faithful servant." (Matthew 25:23).   -The Patriot Post

{algemeiner.com} ~ Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said Israel was ready for the possibility of developing a joint strategy with Arab countries to address the situation in Syria,Israel Radio reported on Sunday... Addressing a security conference in Munich, where the defense minister also met on the sidelines with Jordanian King Abdullah II for the first time publicly in over a year, Ya’alon said Israel’s official position in Syria was non-involvement, other than for humanitarian reasons. Still, Israel would respond if its sovereignty was threatened, he said. Israel has previously asserted that its red line in Syria includes weapons transfers to Hezbollah, and Israel has reportedly carried out several air strikes in Syria since the start of the civil war in 2011.

{pamelageller.com} ~ This is the purpose of jihad terrorism: to terrorize us, and force us to curtail our activities, and live cowering in fear until we submit to Islam altogether just to get the terror to stop... If the French government and European authorities were doing something to stop the Muslim migrant influx, which will only lead to more jihad, this closing would not have been necessary. Instead, watch for many, many more art galleries and other institutions to close. The Paris Pinacotheque, one of France’s rare privately owned art galleries, is to close as visitor numbers have plunged following the November shootings in Paris. The Pinacotheque, which has been under court receivership for three months, said that like all Paris galleries it had suffered a dramatic drop in attendance.      http://pamelageller.com/2016/02/paris-art-gallery-closes-after-dramatic-attendance-drop-following-jihad-murders.html/

{dailysignal.com} ~ Washington has succumbed to another diplomatic mirage: the Russian promise of a limited pause in the intensifying war in Syria... Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced that they had agreed to an arrangement to “accelerate and expand” deliveries of humanitarian aid to starving civilians in besieged areas, to be followed by a partial “cessation of hostilities” within a week. The agreement falls far short of an actual ceasefire, in part because it does not include the main belligerents: the Syrian regime and opposition forces. The cosmetic arrangement gives the illusion of “doing something” to ease the mounting humanitarian catastrophe in Syria. But it only marginally addresses the symptoms of Syria’s bloody conflict, while ignoring one of the root causes: the brutal repression meted out by Bashir Assad’s dictatorship, strongly supported by Russia and Iran.

{dailysignal.com} ~ Some may think Congress has given up on taking further action against the Iran deal, but in a video interview with The Daily Signal, Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., says it’s not time for lawmakers to give up... Since the deal was officially recognized by President Barack nObama, Iran’s behavior has remained antagonistic, including the seizure of American sailors just weeks ago in the Persian Gulf. DeSantis, a member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, believes that may cause some original supporters to rethink their position. While it will take a new president in 2017 to fully revoke the deal, DeSantis tells us there are things Congress can and should do now, such as allowing individual states to enact their own sanctions against Iran.        http://dailysignal.com/2016/02/12/what-lawmakers-can-still-do-to-push-back-on-iran-deal/?utm_source=heritagefoundation&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=morningbell&mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRovsqrJZKXonjHpfsX56%2BQpWqS%2BlMI%2F0ER3fOvrPUfGjI4AScJlNq%2BTFAwTG5toziV8R7jHKM1t0sEQWBHm

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ On February 1, Tharwat Bukhit, a Coptic Christian member of Egypt's parliament, announced"there are approximately 50 churches in Egypt closed for reasons of security."... When the "Arab Spring" broke out in 2011, Egypt's Christians compiled a list of 43 churches that had been shut down by local authorities over the years. This list was given to the prime minister of Egypt at the time, Dr. Essam Sharaf, who said that the churches would be opened as soon as possible. Yet since then, according to Bukhit, "Today, the number of closed churches has grown to almost 50." Why are Christian churches being "closed for reasons of security"? Whenever Christians attempt to repair, renovate, or build a church -- all of which contradict Islamic law[1] -- the same chain of events follows. Local Muslims riot and rampage, and local (Muslim) officials conclude that the only way to prevent "angry youths" from acts of violence is to ban the church, which is then declared a "threat" to security.      http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/7433/egypt-churches

{clarionproject.org} ~ School officials in Rochester, New York are getting flak from angry parents and teachers for holding an event in solidarity with World Hijab Day... The event, held at the school and during school hours, encouraged the high school girls to wear the Islamic headscarf for the day. Boys were given carnations to wear in solidarity. Unsuspecting students put on the 150 headscarves that were brought by teachers before the first bell rang. They were encouraged to participate in the “cultural event” by the school’s principal Sheela Webster, who insisted the headscarf had nothing to do with religion, but rather all about the “experiental” and “was actually around learning about the cloth.” “Our perspective in it was not religious – it was really about experiential,” she said. “We are an experiential school; we engage kids in all kinds of activities and projects all of the time, so the perspective of being able to learn what a hijab is, why some women choose to wear it and why some women don’t choose to wear it, and we provide the opportunity to experience it; it is well within protocol of experiential learning.” What a bunch of hogwash by this principal.        http://www.clarionproject.org/analysis/world-hijab-day-debuts-american-schools

{theeconomiccollapseblog.com} ~ 350,000 soldiers, 20,000 tanks, 2,450 warplanes and 460 military helicopters are massing in northern Saudi Arabia for a military exercise that is being called “Northern Thunder”...  According to the official announcement, forces are being contributed by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, Sudan, Kuwait, Morocco, Pakistan, Tunisia, Oman, Qatar, Malaysia and several other nations.  This exercise will reportedly last for 18 days, and during that time the airspace over northern Saudi Arabia will be closed to air traffic.  This will be the largest military exercise in the history of the region, and it comes amid rumors that Saudi Arabia and Turkey are preparing for a massive ground invasion of Syria. If you were going to gather forces for an invasion, this is precisely how you would do it.  Governments never come out and publicly admit that forces are moving into position for an invasion ahead of time, so “military exercises” are a common excuse that gets used for this sort of thing.

{punchingbagpost.com} ~ Recently, ISIS released a video of a young boy blowing up a “car of spies”. The boy in the video has since been identified as the four-year-old son, Isa Dare, of a London convert who is now part of the growing ISIS training program to influence and radicalize young children... The video shows three of the victims tied up in a car being interviewed and “confessing” to their sins of being British spies in Arabic. Fethullah Gulen, a radical Islamist, is at the head of command in a line of 150 charter schools in America. Within these schools, teachers and students have complained that the curriculum focuses too much on the Islamist way of thinking and children are not receiving the proper education. To add insult to injury, these schools are financed by U.S. taxpayers, with some receiving up to $100 million in funds! The war on terror can and will spread to the younger generation if America does not put an end to teaching radicalism on our own soil.

End of story,” he told the AP. “In light of recent attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, and the vow by our extremist enemies to launch more attacks on our shores, it makes no sense to propose cuts to vital terror-prevention programs like UASI.”

Not the America I Knew

{townhall.com} ~ Envy is defined by Dictionary.com as "a feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard to another's advantages, success, possessions, etc." That perfectly characterizes the entire political philosophy of the Democratic progressive left.
.
Listening to presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Hilly Clinton, I often hear the principles I grew up with and practiced being disregarded, even denounced.
.
In his victory speech following his New Hampshire primary win, Sanders said America was founded on the principle of fairness.
.
No it wasn't. You don't find the word "fairness" in the Declaration of Independence, or the Constitution. The word you do find is "liberty." The Founders wanted Americans to be liberated from oppressive, intrusive, dictatorial government and to be free to pursue happiness, according to their definition of the word.
.
Sanders and Clinton aren't channeling the Founders, they're channeling Robin Hood. They want to take from people who have sacrificed, invested, risked and worked hard and give the fruits of their labors to others who have not embraced those noble practices.
.
Listening to some of the younger people who are enthralled by Sanders' philosophy suggests that they have been brainwashed by their public school teachers and college professors. Maybe we should increase the voting age to 30 when they might be expected to have achieved some modicum of success and will resent having their paychecks gutted by dysfunctional government.
.
The late football coach Vince Lombardi once said, "The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand."
.
Do you hear anything like that coming from the mouths of Sanders or Clinton? Where is the rhetoric I heard as a child such as "you can do this," "apply yourself," "persistence ensures success"?
.
Today, it is all about envying what others have. In biblical terms it is covetousness, a violation of the Tenth Commandment. Covetousness is destructive, not to the person who is its object, but to the person doing the coveting.
.
Does someone who envies, or covets, improve his station in life? Why won't Sanders and Clinton speak of the virtues of hard work and making the right decisions so people can fend for themselves and their families? Instead we get speeches attacking millionaires and billionaires, as if they have cornered the market on wealth, leaving none behind for anyone else.
.
What a CEO or Wall Street banker earns has nothing to do with what I make, or could make, if I choose the right path. The right path means staying in school, getting married before having children and taking reasonable risks to improve one's life, such as moving from a town where it is difficult to get a job or advance in one, to a place where there are better prospects.
.
Bernie Sanders is now trying to attract African-American voters by promising them more jobs, more government programs, more stuff. He's also courting civil rights power broker Rev. Al Sharpton in hopes that he can help steer minority voters his way in exchange for access to the White House, but consider this quote from one of the great African-American leaders of the past, Booker T. Washington: "Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard work."
.
That such noble sentiments have largely disappeared from our culture and been replaced by envy, greed and entitlement, explains why our national debt soars, why so many find themselves in financial difficulty, or think they do, because that's what the left has told them.
.
If our forebears could rise from their graves, would they not rebuke us for the mess we have made of the nation they birthed and bequeathed to us?
.
At the founding of America, self-interest was often secondary to the public good. Today, self-interest is supreme and the public good is largely forgotten. No wonder we are in trouble on all levels, as liberal-progressives double down on failure to promote their own political self-interest.
