Quotes from Justice Scalia

This guy seems fixated on the notion that the Government derives it's authority from God. Also our institutions, laws, and the foundation of our laws.

I respectfully disagree with Justice Scalia.

"And when somebody goes by that monument, I don't think they're studying each one of the commandments. It's a symbol of the fact that the government comes -- derives its authority from God. And that is, it seems to me, an appropriate symbol to be on State grounds. "

" As I say, I don't think most people know what the text of the Ten Commandments are, but they do know that is stands for the fact that our laws are derived from God. "

"I think the message it sends is that law is -- and our institutions come from God."

"And it doesn't matter what the version is, does it? If it just stands for the fact that laws -- the foundation of our laws is God. "
