“Consult a Ouija Board”

Written on September 30th, 2005 by Judd
From the Harvard Crimson, Justices Scalia and Breyer had a vigorous debate on campus recently:
Speaking to more than 400 people gathered in Ames Courtroom, the two justices—who often are at odds with each other in court opinions—locked horns most vigorously when discussing the role of foreign law in shaping legal decisions in the U.S., but also made time for informal discussion and jokes. “What can a foreign decision possibly tell me about the meaning of a text adopted by an American legislature, or by the American people?” Scalia said. “Nothing at all.” “I agree that if you believe in a living Constitution...then of course consult foreign law,” he continued. “Why not? I mean, consult a Ouija board.”
