The legacy of Justice Scalia. Housewife renaissance.

MercatorNet

One of the best-known figures on the US Supreme Court died on Saturday, Antonin Scalia. Last week I urged readers to be “boldly counter-cultural”. It is hard to think of someone who exemplified this better than Justice Scalia. Below are several articles on the man and his legacy, especially with respect to same-sex marriage.

The focus of most of the news coverage in the media is the political consequences of the vacancy. Professor John Coverdale, who clerked for Scalia before he was elevated to the Supreme Court, remembers “a larger-than-life human being with a great sense of humour and a big heart.” His article is a must-read
