MOUNTAIN HOME -- Between fishing for rainbow trout and hunting for turkeys in northern Arkansas, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia spoke twice Thursday at Arkansas State University in Mountain Home.
"The rule for a good judge, in my estimation, is garbage in, garbage out," Scalia told a crowd of about 1,300 Thursday night at the Vada Sheid Community Development Center Auditorium. "If it indeed is a bad statute, I am honor bound by oath to produce a bad result. If you think that every statute that has been enacted across the street from me makes sense, you're crazy. It is not up to me to decide which are good ones and which are bad ones."
Scalia Statutes merit not my call
I'm not a Scalia fan but there is a little bit from him.
