Abstract

On May 8, 1997, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia delivered what may have been the mos important speech of his life. Strikingly, the address had nothing to do with jurisprudence; it made no mention of the Consitution or of the originalism that had marked his career. Delivered in the Capitol Rotunda, the jusice’s remarks focused on the horrors of hisory, yet Scalia looked to not only the pas but also the future. His words, now printed in the vital volume Scalia Speaks, have proved terrifyingly prescient.
