"Justice Antonin Scalia was a brilliant man in many ways. He was not, however, a science expert, or a science enthusiast, or even a science believer."
Scalia’s Supreme Court Replacement Should Respect Science
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.

Scalia's "Originalist" Interpretation Of The US Constitution Is Challenged
Antonin Scalia was known as an arch-conservative who was at the vanguard of what we see today in the politics of the USA. He had a dogma-induced blindness behind an affable personality. He never could see that he was cherry-picking within his "Originalist" bias as least as much as those he was criticizing for interpreting the US Constitution from the view of present circumstances. He never revealed a humble understanding that politics is not a "hard" science, but a "soft" social science, with very imprecise tools at arriving at truth.
The originalist position on constitutional interpretation should be laid to rest along with Justice Scalia.
