Dante
"The Libido for the Ugly"
If Scalia is "invariably more protective of Privacy Rights from the government" than the other Justices on the Court?
so says Lawrence Tribe. Is he wrong? What does it say about what you think you know about how the Supreme Court rules/works? Do you get your info mainly from political journalists, bloggers, hacks, celebrities, or do you seek out legal opinions?
You only have to go 10 minutes into the video (the transcript is terrible) to figure out what it is you think you know, and what it is you know. Although, Dante is NOT saying Tribe has the final say on all things legal and pertaining to the Court, Dante is saying, try and consider what Tribe is saying.

Funny, how can Scalia be a strict constructionist if he sees privacy rights? He isn't a strict constructionist.
Strict constructionists as well as texualists like Justice Hugo Black have said there is NO right to privacy in the US Constitution. How can Scalia be more liberal on privacy rights than Black? Justice Black usually tried to stretch the understanding of the text to accommodate laws passed by the Legislature, but on the right to privacy he felt it just wasn't there. "The constitutional right of privacy is not found in the Constitution." - Justice Hugo Black
