Pressestimmen

"Reading Scalia Speaks — the marvelous collection of his speeches, lovingly compiled by his son and a former law clerk — brought Nino back to life for me."
-Alan M. Dershowitz, The New York Times Book Review

"This marvelous book surely will be required reading for anyone seeking to understand the mind of this great jurist and conservative thinker. But I would go further and say that it should be required reading for anyone who wishes to understand the mind of a great American, a figure so important to our history that his passing influenced the presidential election held months later. If “Scalia Speaks” can be said to have one fundamental flaw—one shared with the man’s life—it is that it ends too soon."
-Wall Street Journal

“A treasure that captures Justice Antonin Scalia’s brilliance, wit, faith, humility and wide range of knowledge...Scalia speaks in his own words in this magnificent volume that should be on the bookshelf of every educated American.”
-Washington Post

"In decades of public speeches at home and abroad, Scalia educated, challenged, and entertained countless audiences. Now anyone who wants to benefit from the late justice’s wit and wisdom can do so with Scalia Speaks.…[An] indispensable book."
-Weekly Standard

“Scalia Speaks is engrossing and invaluable, a treasure for lawyers and non-lawyers alike, a milestone in the literature of this profoundly influential American and in the annals of the Supreme Court.”
-James Rosen

“An almost intimate picture of one of the giants of our age…Scalia’s mind sparkled like a gem, but perhaps, in our turbulent time, the most important takeaway from this collection is the lesson it teaches about civility.”
-Mona Charen

“An extraordinary portrait of a great public figure and thinker. The book is an intellectual feast and at the same time great fun to read. It displays an exceptionally coherent worldview articulated with great force and wit. It's enormously enlightening.
-Yuval Levin

What Makes an American

In October 1986—one month after he became the first Italian American to sit on the Supreme Court—Justice Scalia received the National Italian American Foundation’s award for public service. In the course of explaining why he was proud of his Italian heritage, he drew a broader lesson about what makes an American.

My fellow Italian Americans:

I am happy to provide the occasion for this celebration of our common Italian ancestry. You do me great honor this evening—and it is an honor that by all rights I must share with many others. My parents and relatives, of course—my teachers (some of whom are here this evening)—all of those who have had an influence on my life. One debt I would like particularly to acknowledge is to the many Italian Americans in many fields of endeavor, but particularly in politics, who by their example of ability and integrity made it easy for someone with an Italian name to be considered for high office. Even the most successful of us are midgets standing on the shoulders of others—and I want to acknowledge my special indebtedness to the Peter Rodinos and Frank Annunzios and John Volpes who made my path an easy one. It is a great responsibility to be readily identifiable with a particular ethnic group. I am where I am in part because my predecessors bore that responsibility well. I hope to do the same.

I want to say a few words this evening about why we are proud of our Italian heritage—and about why that pride makes us no less than 100 percent Americans.

Three of the world’s great civilizations flourished in the lands you and I came from. The southern part of Italy, Magna Grecia, was one of the most important parts of ancient Greece—and Syracuse was the largest city of that civilization. The Roman Empire began on the Italian peninsula and spread its influence throughout the Western world. And the Italian city-states of the Renaissance were the beginning of the modern world. We are also a race that has lived under many foreign rulers—the Normans, the Saracens, the French, the Spanish, and the Austrians. So we bear with us the knowledge, learned the hard way, how difficult it is to create a great society, and how easy it is, through foolish discord at home or failure to confront threats from abroad, to lose it.

The Italian immigrants who came to this country possessed, it seems to me, four characteristics in a particularly high degree—characteristics that continue to be displayed, by and large, by their descendants. First, a capacity for hard work—whether on the lines of the railroads whose construction brought many of them here, or in the machine shops and garment factories of the industrial East, or in the fisheries and vineyards of California. They were successful in that work, as is evident from the fact that the last time I looked at the figures their descendants have the highest per capita income of any ethnic group (including Anglo-Saxons) except the Chinese and Japanese. Second, a love of family. The closeness of the Italian family is legendary—it is one of our great inheritances. Third, a love of the church. Italian American priests and Italian American parishioners have—with a good deal of help, it must be acknowledged, from our Irish co-religionists in the East and Hispanic Americans in the West—made Roman Catholicism one of the major religions in a country where it began as a tiny minority. And fourth, perhaps arising from the first three—the product of hard work, a secure family environment, and a confident knowledge of one’s place within God’s scheme of things—a love of the simple physical pleasures of human existence: good music, good food, and good—or even pretty good—wine.

We have shared those qualities with our fellow Americans—as they have shared the particular strengths of their heritages with us. And the product is the diverse and yet strangely cohesive society called America. It is a remarkable but I think demonstrable phenomenon that our attachment to and affection for our particular heritage does not drive our society apart, but helps to bind it together. Like an intricate tapestry, the fabric of our society is made up of many different threads that run in different directions, but all meet one another to form the whole. The common bond I have with those who share my Italian ancestry prevents me from readily being drawn into enmity with those people on the basis of, for example, politics. If I were, for example, a Republican, I could not think too ill of Democrats—because, after all, Pete Rodino is a Democrat and he’s a paisan. And of course we all have loyalties based on factors other than our ethnic heritage that bind us together with other Americans—we go to the same church as they, or belong to the same union, or went to the same college. It is these intersecting loyalties to small segments of the society that bind the society together.

So I say you can be proud of your Italian heritage—as the Irish can of theirs, and the Jews of theirs—without feeling any less than 100 percent American because of that.

While taking pride in what we have brought to America, we should not fail to be grateful for what America has given to us. It has given us, first and foremost, a toleration of how different we were when we first came to these shores. What makes an American, it has told us, is not the name or the blood or even the place of birth, but the belief in the principles of freedom and equality that this country stands for.

There have, to be sure, been instances and periods of discrimination against Italian Americans, just as there have been against all other new arrivals. But that was the aberration, the departure from the norm, the failure to live up to the principles on which this Republic was founded. If you do not believe that, you need look no further than the actions of the greatest American of them all, the Father of our Country, George Washington. During his first term in office as president, Washington wrote a letter that is a model of Americanism, addressed to the Hebrew Congregation of Newport, Rhode Island. This blue-blooded, aristocratic Virginian assured that small community that his administration, his country, would brook no discrimination against that small and politically impotent community. And that the children of Abraham, as he put it, were welcome in this country, to live in peace and never to have fear.

Originalism explained

Kundenrezension aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 am 7. Juni 2020

The collection of speeches of former US Supreme Court judge Antonin Scalia presents a vivid picture of a man with deep values of humanity, his religious beliefs and not least his conviction about the importance of democracy.
Himself of Italo-American decent, his adoration for the US constitution and the achievements of its "founding fathers" can be felt in every single of his speeches here presented.
For a non-US lawyer like me it is not always easy to follow the debate about the appropriate interpretation methodology for the US constitution. Sometimes Scalia's position is demonstrated as being backward-looking, not understanding the needs of modern times. Reading his speeches in this book helps to understand how wrong such etiquette is. One does not have to follow Scalia`s train of thought to accept hat he touches a fundamental problem of legal interpretation that disregards the "original meaning" of enacted laws. It ultimately moves the competence to make laws from the persons legitimated by the people through their votes to individual judges and their individual beliefs. Obviously judges will try to avoid this bias in ordinary cases but it is the fundamental debates that are in danger of "political judgements" rather than democratic decisions. I did not yet come across a better warning against this risk than in Scalia's speeches, maybe only in Carl Schmitt`s "The tyranny of values".

Besides this legal theory aspect, Scalia's speeches also provide remarkable guidance on what is important in life. This is worth reading not only for the young who usually have been the audience of these speeches but for older readers, too. My favorite speech is titled "Character" (pages 326-332). It ends: "Unless you increase, in equal measure with your knowledge, your judgement and character, you will fail in the only thing that is really important, and from which all else follows. You will not be making yourself the best person you can be."

Kundenrezension aus Indien 🇮🇳 am 15. Oktober 2020

I’m definitely a person who believed in a living constitution and justice Scalia definitely wasn’t. Reading this book, I definitely understand his side of the argument. I don’t think he has managed to convert me, but I have no doubt of I had ever had the chance of meeting him in person, his oration and grasp of history would change my mind.

You may definitely dispute what the man says, but he comes across as a man who is honest to his belief and sticks to it.

Kundenrezension aus den USA 🇺🇸 am 31. Mai 2019

Verifizierter Kauf

Nino, who once said he didn't even know how his name is supposed to be pronounced, has been a larger than
life figure from the late 80's until his death three years ago. Perhaps the first thing to note is the respect and
devotion of his colleagues who most often disagreed with him. The foreword is by Justice Ginsburg, who also
worked closely with Robert Bork, and Justice Elena Kagan added that Scalia changed the way we all think
about the law. While Bork and Clarence Thomas caused highly heated debates in the Senate, Scalia got
through easily in 1986 and was Italian-American.

The collection begins with a reflection on the Irish-Americans, such as his wife Maureen, from the Italian
point of view. There's the obligatory reference to Daniel Moynihan, and a reflection on the relationship
between Americans and the various places to which they trace their heritage.

The area of most interest, of course, is Scalia's area of expertise, the law. Even for those who usually agree
with him, his is not the only approach. For me, it would seem that if a judge believes there is a natural law,
then it must weigh quite heavily on the conscience, regarding what is just. This was once not just a Catholic
doctrine but a major factor for Martin Luther King's action. Scalia's approach emphasizes more the positive
law and its historical context. For instance, he says that Alexander Hamilton's interpretation is weighed heavily,
not because wrote the Constitution (Madison), but because "...who for Pete's sake must have understood what the thing meant". While Bork's philosophy is complex (as noted by Joe Biden in Promises to Keep), the similar Scalia tends to be more accessible. He is a religious
person but makes his explanations in secular terms. One may think that he is opposed to abortion, or homosexual
sodomy, but his analysis sticks to what the law means. His favorite example is flag burning, which is a terrible
thing that he opposes but is allowed under his understanding of the Constitution.

Faith is obviously another area of interest to Scalia. The Catholic journalist Rocco Palmo noted that he was the
most revered figure, ordained or lay, in the diocese of Arlington. He was an intelligent layman, who asked the
questions that prompt the ordained (such as his son Paul) to look at the mysteries from another perspective.

Scalia had an exuberance and joy of life. Perhaps this was captured by Stephen Colbert at the infamous White
House Correspondents' dinner with George W. Bush. Scalia had given someone the Sicilian chin. So Colbert bit
his thumb at Scalia, who almost fell over in belly laughter.

His mind seemed to work almost effortlessly, giving lessons in history and American civics. His devotion to
Washington showed that character is more important than the brains of Jefferson, Hamilton or Madison.

Scalia was widely known for his dissents. One interesting one was on the independent counsel, before
the investigations of Bill Clinton and now Donald Trump. When Obergefell came out, you just knew that
he would have something to say-among other things, "I would hide my head in a bag". Stanley Fish
used him as an example of how to learn to write a sentence. "Interior decorating is a rock-hard science
compared to psychology practiced by amateurs". This book abounds with such one-liners. There was
a time before they discovered the commandment to keep holy the weekend. (Referring to Mass on
Saturday afternoon or evening). Baseball is a bunch of guys standing around while nothing happens,
while soccer, which we didn't have back then, has them running around back and forth while nothing
happens.

Constitutional originalism.

Kundenrezension aus den USA 🇺🇸 am 31. Juli 2020

Verifizierter Kauf

Mucho respect for the compilers of this collection of speeches. Scalia represents Constitutional originalism; that is, advocacy of the exact intentions of its framers.

Positives: 1) the speeches are mostly short and sweet. 2) Lots of wit. 3) I'd challenge anybody who couldn't say they gained a better understanding of American government and the Constitution.

The religious stuff would be mainly for Catholics. Although Sir Thomas More (A Man for All Seasons) going to his execution on principle is an absorbing tale.

SAMPLES:

"One of the strengths of this great country, one of the reasons we really are a symbol of light and of hope for the world, is the way in which people of different faiths, different races, different national origins, have come together and learned—not merely to tolerate one another, because I think that is too stingy a word for what we have achieved—but to respect and love one another."

"A recent survey found that only about half of the American people could name the first book of the Old Testament; only about a third could say who gave the Sermon on the Mount; and only about a fifth could name a single Old Testament prophet. A nation that used to abound with names like Ezekiel and Zebadiah now presumably thinks that the Beatitudes are a female singing group. "

In England a toast is customarily presented: “Ladies and gentlemen, the Queen." It is the custom to reply to that toast with a toast “To the president of the United States.” But if one wishes to evoke the deep and enduring symbol of our nationhood and our unity as a people, it seems to me the toast ought to be “Ladies and gentlemen, the Constitution of the United States.”

"Societies always mature; they never rot. This despite the twentieth century’s evidence of concentration camps and gas ovens in one of the most advanced and civilized nations of the world."

It is quite impossible to forgive the line “To be great is to be misunderstood,” which has been cribbed from the same book of banalities as “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.”

"The cardinal sin of capitalism is greed; but the cardinal sin of socialism is power."
