<p>I think in the end, everyone got what they wanted: anti-Scalia protesters were able to make their “collective” presence known without being disruptive; Justice Scalia scored high on the charm scale. I think students were more interested in judging the event for themselves than they were in demonstrating. FWIW, fifty protesters is a fairly large turnout for Wesleyan.</p>
<p>Personally, it was interesting to read that Scalia draws a distinction between “strict constructionism” and his own heirloom variety “Originalism”; that his purpose is to read the Constitution “reasonably”, not “strictly, not sloppily”. I thiink we can all agree with that. :)</p>
